Meetings and Events
Tours of the McMullen Museum of Art
We have arranged for docent led tours of the current exhibits at the McMullen Museum of Art. There are three exhibits underway at McMullen, and the Women's Collaborative is welcome to a private group tour with McMullen staff. The tours are free for WC@BC members. This is an opportunity to visit a unique space on the Brighton campus that may help you feel contemplative and creative, and inspired by natural beauty all around us. There are two dates set aside in November for the WC@BC to participate in expert-led tours of the exhibits, which always help us relate to the art and context in new ways.
Please take a moment for yourself, or a moment to meet BC colleagues from other areas of campus.
Tour Information
