An awards ceremony for BOSS Show 2023 is scheduled for the Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. This year’s juror is Alicia Rendette, the curator from Overlap, a contemporary art gallery based in Newport, Rhode Island. Immediately following the awards, the Department of Art and Art History invites all students majoring or minoring in Studio Art and Art History to attend a kickoff and orientation event.
