Announcing the launch of the Humanities Institute Makerspace! On select afternoons this academic year, 198 Hagerty Hall will be open for drop-in art-making. Led by a rotating list of co-sponsors, the maker space will offer projects and materials in a variety of media, with projects reflecting the content and interests of our centers and other humanities affiliates. New this semester: HI MS will travel to locations around the Oval to co-host maker activities with our campus partners.

Makerspace events are free, open to everyone and welcoming to all. No registration is required- drop in and make art in your own time.
