Join the UMD Art Gallery for an exhibition preview and reception for their exhibits Faculty Exhibition 2024 and Up Close: Hana Ward.

Max Waldman photographed some of the greatest theatre and dance artists during the 1960s and 1970s in New York City.

This exhibition runs from August 2024 through July 2025.
