Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

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.

Kate Boney (OC 2026): Decorative Panel with a Musical Party;

Sereena Sperry (OC 2027): View of Venice: The Ducal Palace, Dogana and Part of San Giorgio;

Audie Wilson (OC 2026): XOXOX (All Day); and

Esme Tobias (OC 2028): Incense Burner with Dragon Base.

Please meet in the King Sculpture Court. We look forward to seeing you there!
