Event Description
Celebrate with us on Friday, September 27th as we mark our 50th anniversary with a day filled with engaging events! From 11:00-11:45 am, start your day with an exclusive tour of our exhibition "The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation," led by patron Jordan Schnitzer himself. Delve into over 100 artworks exploring the theme of food from various perspectives, and hear firsthand the stories behind these captivating pieces. Following the tour, join us at noon for the Common Reading Series: Public Square on Food Insecurity for College Students. Hosted by the Center for Civic Engagement, this moderated discussion will use the exhibition and the book "How the Other Half Eats: The Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America" as catalysts to explore food insecurity among college students, both locally and statewide. Conclude your afternoon with our Pop-Up Community Market on Terrell Mall from 1:15 pm to 3:00 pm. Discover local produce and products while supporting initiatives addressing food insecurity. Students enjoy free fresh produce and can engage with organizations like the Cougar Food Pantry and the Community Action Center’s Mobile Farm Stand, all contributing to a stronger, more connected community.
