We’re going to the Met!

The Bard College Clemente Course in the Humanities will celebrate its 25th graduation this year. To honor this milestone, we’ve contracted a big bus to drive us to New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, a trip that we made most every year, before the pandemic. We’ll cover lunch at the museum and a stop at a rest area for food on the way home.

When: Friday May 17, 2024.

Bus will leave The Care Center, 247 Cabot Street, Holyoke by 7am and Union Station, Springfield, 7:30am. We will leave the museum by 4pm.

Who: Clemente alumnae and current students…

… and teenager or older offspring, partners, or besties — space permitting; Bard Microcollege students; and current HiSet students (or recent grads).

RSVP here.

By the way, many of the paintings we’ve looked at in art history are at the Met (such as Rosa Bonheur’s Horse Fair, above), and it’s absolutely staggering what you can see there. Before we go, browse the Met website, so you’ll have an idea of what you’d like to see.

Dreaming on the Page

As part of our Clemente Holyoke 25th anniversary celebrations, we’re offering an online writing workshop on Wednesday, May 1, from 7–8:30pm with longtime Clemente writing professor Tzivia Gover.

Join Tzivia and other Clemente alumnae for a fun writing workshop and learn how your dreamy imagination can help you tune into your inner storyteller and poet. All you need is a pen and paper — no need to remember any dreams — Tzivia will provide the prompts to get you started.
