Our 2026 Exhibition: Disciplines Across Decades shines a light on the origins of our nine career training programs and how our students are trained today. The exhibition will feature the best work of our student and graduate community, their connections to techniques used at the start of their program, a timeline of NBSS history, and artifacts from the early years of each program.

Duration: Friday, May 1 through Friday, July 3, 2026
Hours: Monday through Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm, Saturdays 10:00am to 2:00pm
