Originating Calendar

Finish Strong - Finals Week

Take a pause from finals to walk through the art museum! Today is the last day for the landmark exhibition "Fake News & Lying Pictures: Political Prints in the Dutch Republic." 

See how Dutch printmakers used their art as the first meme-making, or political cartooning. These prints entertain, persuade, provoke, and create political heroes and villains in very divisive times. Sound familiar? 

Come on by and take a look. Admission is always free at KAM.
