I am waiting for the cupcakes to cool down. I made them for the art show opening on Friday. Are you coming?

Check out Aaron Huey: seriously mouthwatering photos
And Agnes Thor, so smooth!

If you haven't yet, stop by the Museum of Natural History's special exhibit, The Language of Color.

get psyched for Hatch! at Stein club Thursday!

There will be some collaborative art pieces at Stein Club on Thursday, so if you want to contribute to Hatch, but don't have time to submit work on your own, please stop by, have a beer and get creative!

Portrait Wall: (remember your pre-school shadow portrait? well, same idea except Kirkland is making it awesome with a giant canvas, paint and numerous subjects...you!) Come ready to get drawn or trace someone else.

Bricks: What do the Kirkland House bricks see and hear that we don't? What stories would they tell? In the spirit of postsecret , Kirkland will be accepting 'bricks' that tell our own secret Kirkland narrative. You can pick up a blank 'brick' any time in the dining hall.(starting on sunday night). Please paint or color or fill in (photos, pen, coffee stain, whatever) the brick side, and write your secret Kirkland story on the back. The idea is that by allowing anonymous Kirkland narratives, we might see a different perspective of Kirkland life than the dining hall narrative we are so used to.

When you finish, return the brick to the 'brick box' in the d-hall. You will also be able to do this at Stein Club on Thursday.

xoxo


Ób'ówie Kirkland!

Artist of the day, Yinka Shonibare.
