CIA 2023 Alumni Exhibition: Come, Rest Here by My Side

The 2023 Alumni Exhibition, Come, Rest Here by My Side, will showcase work by CIA alums from different graduating years and artistic practices, and it will offer viewers the opportunity to learn more about the college and its influence on the artistic vocabulary of the region.

The exhibition’s title, Come, Rest Here by My Side, is borrowed from Maya Angelou’s renowned poem “On the Pulse of Morning,” which invokes themes of unity, progress, connection and the hope of a yet-to-be-written future.

The jurors for Come, Rest Here by My Side are CIA Printmaking alum Clotilde Jiménez ’13 and illustrator Lee White.

The 2023 Alumni Exhibition Committee includes Alumni Council members: Cherie Bauer ’81, Deborah Pinter ’88, Lauren Chaikin ’09, Karen Sandstrom ’12 and Amani Williams ’21.
