Attention faculty members: looking for a dynamic way to engage your class with the Center for the Arts’ exhibitions? The center offers gallery visits and tours tailored to your course goals, learning outcomes, and assignments. Options range from guided discussions with gallery staff to independent exploration, all designed to support meaningful student engagement with art.

The center’s spring exhibitions feature solo shows by two artists shaped by Haitian heritage and diasporic experience. Abigail Lucien transforms organic matter into enduring forms that reflect on hybridity, permanence, and place, while Didier William presents richly layered works that combine painting and carving and address questions of memory, movement, and belonging. Together, their exhibitions create a dialogue across forms, suspended states, and the histories carried by migration.

Galleries are open for class visits Tuesday–Friday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. To schedule a group tour or class visit, email artscenter@vt.edu.
