Join us for an Object Talk with Esme Tobias (OC 2028). As part of the Allen’s Object Talk series, students lead an informal conversation highlighting one of their favorite works from the collection. These short talks, led by our Gallery Guides, offer unique insights into the objects that inspire them most.
Please meet in the King Sculpture Court. We look forward to seeing you there!
