EVENT CANCELED

We have made the difficult decision out of an abundance of caution and in consultation with local, state, and federal experts and authorities to cancel the Basketball Lover's Guide Gallery Talk, scheduled for Tuesday, March 17. While disappointing to all of us, this action is consistent with decisions being made around a number of community and university events in response to COVID-19 virus concerns. We are confident this is the right decision. Our highest priority remains the health and safety of our community.

Thank you so much for your support of this decision. Please know we appreciate your continued enthusiasm and partnership surrounding the Weatherspoon Art Museum.

For continued updates from us, please visit the UNCG coronavirus website.

Whether you identify as a basketball lover yourself or just want to impress your friends with some sports trivia, this gallery talk promises something for everyone.

Join us as we take a deeper look at To the Hoop: Basketball and Contemporary Art with UNCG's resident basketball fans Sarah Colonna, Associate Faculty Chair for Grogan College and Adjunct Assistant Professor Women's and Gender Studies; Erin Lawrimore, University Archivist and Associate Professor; Wade Maki, Director, Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Program and Senior Lecturer Department of Philosophy; and Emily Stamey, Weatherspoon Curator of Exhibitions. Come prepared to share your own fun facts or stump our guests!
