Back in my day … will honor the work of CIA’s Class of 2020, which was unable to experience a culminating physical exhibition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organized and named in consort with an advisory committee of 2020 alums, this show aims to reconnect those who were unable to celebrate the conclusion of their undergraduate experience in person. This show is not a replacement BFA exhibition. Instead, it looks forward, meeting artists and designers where they are by featuring work that best represents their respective practices in the present moment.

Back in my day … will go on view during a public opening event from 5 to 8pm Friday, November 5 in Reinberger Gallery and remain on view through Friday, December 17. Visitors will be required to undergo a health screening upon entering CIA and wear a face mask while in the building.
