Presented in conjunction with the current exhibition The Summer Sessions 1933-1952: Visiting Artists at the Mills College Art Museum.

Featuring works from the Art Museum's permanent collection and archive, the exhibition documents an extraordinary chapter in the history of the Mills College Art Museum
