Welcome back to campus! Ease back into the school year and see what’s happening at Lehigh University Art Galleries with a relaxed evening at Downstairs @ the Galleries. Join us in the Lower Gallery just inside Zoellner Arts Center to grab a beverage and a bite to eat, wander through the collection, reconnect with friends and meet some new folks, too—while enjoying the music of local guitarist Mike Lorenz.

Arrive by 6pm to catch Mark Wonsidler, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, as he shares a sneak peek of LUAG’s fall exhibitions, What Matters Most and Starstruck: An American Tale.

Let us know you’re coming! RSVP in advance here.

This “Member-Friendly” event is open to the entire Lehigh University community and LUAG Members. (“Member-Friendly” means guests can sign up for a membership at the event!) You can support LUAG by becoming a member today. For more information, click here.
