More Opportunities to Get

Rare “Behind the Scenes” photography events
Please join us for our last special event of the spring “Behind the
Scenes” series. The previous events were both extremely successful
and filled up fast. April’s event was a dinner with famed photographer
Tina Barney (see the Parting Shot on the last page for a photograph)
and May’s was a private talk about a selection of photographs from
the Fogg Art Museum’s collection in the Agnes Mongan Center for the
Study of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. These events are open to
a limited number of people on a first come, first served basis. Space is
limited for each of these events, so please call 617.975.0600 to reserve
your place today.
