The Passage

The Department of English in collaboration with the Arts Everywhere Initiative and College of Arts and Sciences opened the Humanities Building's first art instillation space: The Passage. In our first exhibition titled: Fiction That Inspires Us, we explore the the generative power of storytelling across disciplines. Bringing together the humanities and fine arts, this exhibition considers fiction as both a narrative and as a catalyst to shape perception, memory and creative expression. Stop by the exhibit outside of the Poetry Center on the second floor of the Humanities Building. As of now, work will be showcased there until the end of December '26.
