A Lunchtime Concert in Conjunction with New Deal America
Join us at 11:30 on April 24 for a short set of songs written by Woody Guthrie (1912-1967), the balladeer of the Dust Bowl era at the heart of our current exhibition, New Deal America: Photographs by Arthur Rothstein. Guthrie captured the drama and pathos of the farmers hit hardest by the dust storms that raged across the Midwest in the 1930s. A selection of Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads will be performed by Ramblin' Jim Shanahan, a folk and bluegrass musician and student at Kingsborough.

Meet Camembert!
- Several years ago a KCC ceramics student created and left behind this charming little glazed earthenware bear. Unclaimed, the bear became somewhat of a KAM mascot and was recently given the name Camembert (get it?). Our talented former Gallery Assistant Sable Spellman created a graphic interpretation of Camembert, which we're quite fond of as well. If you're the student who created this bear, or you know the student who did, please let us know!
