Doris Ulmann Galleries

We’re closed for the summer! The Galleries team will be working hard over the next few months to prepare exciting exhibitions for the upcoming year. We’ll pop in from time to time with some updates - we can’t wait to welcome you back to the Galleries in August!

As the sun enters into Ta**us, who better to model the patience and grounded stability that these Earth signs are known for other than the bull? 🐂 Ta**us season always arrives at a perfect time as our campus community wraps up the Spring semester. Amongst the chaos and perhaps frenzied feelings of another academic year coming to a close, Ta**us reminds us to slow down, pause, and reflect on our accomplishments and results of our hard work – and to set positive intentions as we moo-ve forward towards our personal goals! 🐮 ✨
