The Entrance

Happy birthday, Tanvi.

This wing was built in a few evenings and a hundred small memories. These are some of our most memorable memories.

Enjoy yourself!

The Corridor

Nine Years, Walked

A corridor of years. Walk it slowly — one plaque for every year since the back of that 8th grade classroom.

Exhibit I

The Collection

Eleven works, permanent holdings. Select a frame to read its placard.

The two of us, cheek to cheek
The two of us, heads together
The two of us, dressed up
The two of us, pulling faces
The two of us, laughing
The two of us in the afternoon sun
A phone held up, the two of us on its screen
The two of us out for the evening
The two of us at a table by the window
The three of us, leaning in
The two of us, close up
