DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript
  Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaratio
 n of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters
 \, and documents on the life of George Washington.\n\nThese highlights of 
 the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president\, Andr
 ew Dickson White\, who had a fascination with both American history and bo
 ok collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington an
 d his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite
  subsequent transformations in the discipline\, White’s principle remain
 s resonant: collecting\, displaying\, and teaching with rare books\, autog
 raphs\, signatures\, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

DESCRIPTION:This is a constantly changing exhibit tackling a dwelling pers
 pective through the act of vivification: the moment at which an architectu
 ral structure becomes a living residence. Landscape is explored as a perpe
 tual task of moving objects and adapting to an environment that often feel
 s foreign. Space is continuously brought to life and altered by ongoing dw
 elling and physical work inside and outside of the gallery. Through the ev
 er-growing gesture of collecting materials\, and arranging them into a hoa
 rd or hoarding structure as temporary shed-like construction. This is an e
 xperimental approach to rethink the exhibition space through active rhythm
 s of work\, social interaction\, and spatial and environmental needs. Visi
 tors are entangled as active contributors and recipients in an ongoing pro
 cess.

DESCRIPTION:The world has lost\, or is on the brink of losing\, many remar
 kable bird species. Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra
 pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis
 ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by 
 an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides
 pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in
 vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the
  Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse
 um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of 
 Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br
 ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. 
 Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s
 ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist
 s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef
 forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e
 xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at
  Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers
 ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio

CATEGORIES:arts
DESCRIPTION:American fashion constructs a story about who belongs in the n
 ational imagination. What is a myth\, if not a story worn so often it star
 ts to feel like fact? This exhibition asks what happens when that story co
 nfronts its own contradictions: when American myths are pressed up against
  the labor\, land\, histories\, and people that make them wearable in the 
 first place. Visitors move through the exhibition the way a newcomer might
 \, from idyllic first impressions toward a more complicated understanding 
 of America.\n\nThey arrive in search of freedom\, clutching onto a dream c
 urated in their mind before they arrive at our front door\, passing throug
 h the country’s most familiar archetypes—the pioneer\, the patriot\, t
 he self-made success—before those images complicate and unravel. What em
 erges is a more contested\, more nuanced America than its emblems let on
 —one stitched with the visitors' own cultures and identities. A complex 
 and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall
 s as people have come and gone. This exhibition brings together garments s
 elected by different curators to show how American dress expresses\, creat
 es\, obscures\, and ultimately remakes the myths the country tells about i
 tself.\n\nCuratorial Argument: Approaching America reveals how individuals
  encounter\, challenge\, and reshape the myths that define America.\n\nCom
 bined Themes \nMade in the USA\nMade by whom\, under what conditions\, and
  at what cost?\nTraditional Americana\, national symbols\, craft and produ
 ction\, labor\, material\, industry\, and the construction of an “Americ
 an-made” identity.\nImagining the American Hero\nWho gets turned into an
  American archetype? \nPatriotism\, heroism\, celebrity and stardom\, glam
 our\, aspiration\, and the figures through whom American ideals and dreams
  become visible and wearable.\nRedefining the frontier \nWhere and what is
  the “frontier\,” and whose history does that mythology depend upon?\n
 Expansion\, exploration\, reinvention\, and the point at which idealized n
 ational myths begin to encounter the histories and people they obscure.\nW
 earing America: A dissenting identity \nWho gets to wear American identity
  against dominant meanings?\nProtest\, subcultures\, resistance\, alternat
 ive identities\, and dress as a means of challenging the ideals establishe
 d in the earlier sections.\nSelf-made \nWho gets to claim self-invention\,
  and what does the myth conceal?\nSuccess\, individualism\, aspiration\, c
 lass/mobility\, entrepreneurship\, but also the possibility of remaking 
 “America” through one’s own identity and experience.

DESCRIPTION:he Barbara L. Kuhlman Foundation\, Inc. is a non-profit entity
  established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college 
 professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned 
 status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation
  continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph
 ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 
 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\
 , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv
 e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman
  scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f
 ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted 
 to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was 
 chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen
 tal from a different perspective and yet one commonality seems to be the e
 xamination of our relationship with nature. Will focusing on the elements 
 offer a reprieve? Can it take us to a dark place? According to the work in
  this exhibition\, the answer is yes. It is a subject that contains multit
 udes. We hope you enjoy seeing the creative journeys this year's Kuhlman S
 cholars took.

DESCRIPTION:“Who Owns What?” investigates fashion’s relationship wit
 h identity through the various perspectives of those who may refer to them
 selves as “The Owner.” The exhibit is divided into three sections: “
 The Creator\,” “The Wearer\,” and “The Steward.” “The Creator
 ” explores design process\, brand identity\, labor\, and consumerism. 
 “The Wearer\,” reveals how clothing can become intimately personalized
 . “The Steward\,” raises questions about the slipperiness of meanings 
 over time. Through a series of vignettes\, identity becomes something owne
 d and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by
  the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the opening reception for Rivers of Ice: Thr
 ee Centuries of Glacial Science\, immediately following the opening lectur
 e by returning A. D. White Professor-at-Large James Balog.\n\nSpanning mor
 e than three centuries of exploration\, the Cornell University Library exh
 ibition Rivers of Ice traces the evolving study of glaciers through rare b
 ooks\, illustrations\, maps\, and photographs. From eighteenth-century des
 criptions of Alpine and Icelandic snowfields to modern analytical techniqu
 es\, items on view reveal how scientists\, explorers\, and photographers h
 ave studied glaciers to better understand Earth’s geological and climate
  history. Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s land and storing 70 perce
 nt of its fresh water\, glaciers have become key indicators of climate cha
 nge. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections\, the ex
 hibition features photographs from James Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey (200
 7–2022)\, along with items from professor of geography and geology Ralph
  Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Greenland and Alaska (1896–
 1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contributions to modern glacio
 logy.\n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscr
 ipt Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery through August 2027. River
 s of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From the Brink: Contributi
 ons to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\, hosted by unit libraries
  of Cornell University Library in partnership with departments and groups 
 on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous support of th
 e Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milman Exhibition Fund and the
  Richard N. Sukenik Fund for Excellence in Photography in Cornell Universi
 ty Library with additional contributions from the Andrew D. White Professo

DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript
  Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaratio
 n of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters
 \, and documents on the life of George Washington.\n\nThese highlights of 
 the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president\, Andr
 ew Dickson White\, who had a fascination with both American history and bo
 ok collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington an
 d his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite
  subsequent transformations in the discipline\, White’s principle remain
 s resonant: collecting\, displaying\, and teaching with rare books\, autog
 raphs\, signatures\, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

  space is scarce\, and boundaries are constantly contested.\n\nA sequence 
 of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces\, v

 osing the compromises of dense living\, where seeing and being seen are ne
 ver fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin\, the structure bl

 egins to dissolve.\n\nThe Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the inte
 rsections of environmental\, societal\, and well-being concerns linked to 
 housing and investigates synergies between building performance and qualit
 y of life across scales.\n\nThe Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lect
 urer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.\n\nThis projec

 ative writing and art competition. Also offered: interactive ways to share
  your own migration story.  Drop in at any or all of the displays\, explor
 e the stories presented\, and share one of your own.\n\nMigration stories 
 can also be shared anonymously directly online here. And for a look at the

DESCRIPTION:The world has lost\, or is on the brink of losing\, many remar
 kable bird species. Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra
 pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis
 ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by 
 an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides
 pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in
 vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the
  Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse
 um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of 
 Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br
 ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. 
 Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s
 ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist
 s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef
 forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e
 xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at
  Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers
 ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio
 n for these exhibits  on Thursday\, April 16\, with a lecture by Cornell L
 ab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search
  for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160\, and a reception at 5:00 p

DESCRIPTION:he Barbara L. Kuhlman Foundation\, Inc. is a non-profit entity
  established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college 
 professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned 
 status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation
  continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph
 ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 
 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\
 , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv
 e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman
  scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f
 ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted 
 to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was 
 chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen
 tal from a different perspective and yet one commonality seems to be the e
 xamination of our relationship with nature. Will focusing on the elements 
 offer a reprieve? Can it take us to a dark place? According to the work in
  this exhibition\, the answer is yes. It is a subject that contains multit
 udes. We hope you enjoy seeing the creative journeys this year's Kuhlman S
 cholars took.

DESCRIPTION:Seeing Ithaca\, August 2026 \nThe State of the Art Gallery wil
 l be sponsoring “Seeing Ithaca: Through the Eyes of Artists” for the f
 ourth year. It will take place in galleries and artist studios during the 
 month of August\, 2026 and is a celebration of art and artists in the Itha
 ca area. \nThe State of the Art Gallery members will each show Ithaca insp
 ired work in the gallery and many will have invited guests show with them.
   A special feature this year is a wall dedicated to school children who h
 ave been part of the gallery’s outreach program.  Students from Belle Sh
 erman\, Beverly J. Martin\, and Ithaca High School will display their art 
 in the gallery. That inclusion is always very popular with parents and fri
 ends of the young artists. \nThe Gallery will host several special events 
 during the month.  First Friday Gallery Night is August 7th\, 5-8 P.M. Thi
 s event usually attracts hundreds of visitors. The monthly “Look Club”
  will take place on Sunday\, August 16th\, 2-3 P.M. at the gallery and is 
 open to all to join the discussion of how to really look at art. The Ithac
 a Garden Club will have a special collaboration in the gallery over the we
 ekend of August 21-23 (12-5 each day) to celebrate “Art in Bloom”. Thi
 s event is an opportunity for garden club designers to create an arrangeme
 nt that reflects the essence of their chosen piece of art on the walls. Th
 is has become a very popular weekend to share the creativity of the floral
  arrangers. \nOn August 29th from 12 to 5 pm\, many artists\, listed on th
 e website\, will open their working studios to the public\, and visitors c
 an have a deeper look into their art making process. Studios are located t
 hroughout Tompkins county. The State of the Art Gallery will be open that 
 afternoon as well\, with several gallery members available for informal ar
 t talks.  \nWe have a dedicated website\, seeingithaca.org \, that lists a
 ll the galleries involved with this project as well as all the artists wit
 h open studios. The other galleries that will be celebrating this event ar
 e The Gallery at South Hill (950 Danby Road)\, Danby Gathery Art Works (17
 74 Danby Road) and the Mink Gallery (614 N. Cayuga Street). \nThe organize
 rs are hoping not only to have great displays of the art\, but also to get
  artists and art lovers to meet and expand the liveliness and community of
  all of Ithaca.

  Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaratio
 n of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters
 \, and documents on the life of George Washington.\n\nThese highlights of 
 the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president\, Andr
 ew Dickson White\, who had a fascination with both American history and bo
 ok collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington an
 d his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite
  subsequent transformations in the discipline\, White’s principle remain
 s resonant: collecting\, displaying\, and teaching with rare books\, autog
 raphs\, signatures\, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

DESCRIPTION:Against the backdrop of post-independence nation-building\, es
 pecially during the New Order regime\, Indonesia has consistently assimila
 ted the ocean to a land-based perspective\, and one moreover that focuses 
 -- under the rubric of ‘landscape’-- on its more solid\, extractive\, 
 and materially driven formations. But this was not always the case. What h
 appens if we regard the land from the point of view of the sea?\n\nNyegara
 -Gunung is a divine “marriage” of two powerful natural elements\, inex
 tricably tied to one another. Whatever occurs on the summit of a mountain\
 , for example\, has a direct effect on the sea and vice versa. It is throu
 gh the liminal interaction of these primordial forces and elements that th
 e universe and all life within it are created.\n\nOn Friday\, a performanc
 e will be held drawing on Javanese and Balinese traditions of music and sh
 adow puppetry. \n\nOn Saturday\, there will be an artist dialogue and work
 shop.\n\nThere will be programming as well related to week-long residencie
 s of three artists on West Campus. Building on the exhibit The Hum of Life
 : A Thousand and One Tales from Bali  which just ended\, a subset of the e
 xhibit focused on the sea and the land (nyegara-gunung) will be on display
  in the 5th floor Southeast Asia gallery of the Johnson Museum\, including
  the acquisition and installation of an ider-ider painting on the symposiu
 m theme by Citra Sasmita\, one of the visiting artists.

DESCRIPTION:The world has lost\, or is on the brink of losing\, many remar
 kable bird species. Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra
 pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis
 ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by 
 an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides
 pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in
 vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the
  Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse
 um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of 
 Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br
 ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. 
 Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s
 ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist
 s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef
 forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e
 xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at
  Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers
 ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio
 n for these exhibits  on Thursday\, April 16\, with a lecture by Cornell L
 ab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search
  for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160\, and a reception at 5:00 p

  established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college 
 professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned 
 status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation
  continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph
 ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 
 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\
 , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv
 e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman
  scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f
 ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted 
 to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was 
 chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen

DESCRIPTION:The world has lost\, or is on the brink of losing\, many remar
 kable bird species. Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra
 pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis
 ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by 
 an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides
 pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in
 vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the
  Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse
 um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of 
 Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br
 ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. 
 Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s
 ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist
 s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef
 forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e
 xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at
  Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers
 ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio
 n for these exhibits  on Thursday\, April 16\, with a lecture by Cornell L
 ab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search
  for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160\, and a reception at 5:00 p

DESCRIPTION:he Barbara L. Kuhlman Foundation\, Inc. is a non-profit entity
  established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college 
 professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned 
 status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation
  continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph
 ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 
 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\
 , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv
 e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman
  scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f
 ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted 
 to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was 
 chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen
 tal from a different perspective and yet one commonality seems to be the e
 xamination of our relationship with nature. Will focusing on the elements 
 offer a reprieve? Can it take us to a dark place? According to the work in
  this exhibition\, the answer is yes. It is a subject that contains multit

DESCRIPTION:Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of
  Presence explores how dress functions as civic infrastructure that shapes
  belonging\, authority\, and public life. Grounded in the clothing and acc
 essories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through\, the exhibi
 tion considers dress as signal\, shield\, and statement. What we wear\, ca
 rry\, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. M
 oving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional
  power\, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care\, conv
 iction\, and resistance through the most subtle details.\n\nThis exhibit i
 s a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and th
 e College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of 
 Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss\, P'11 and '14.

DESCRIPTION:The world has lost\, or is on the brink of losing\, many remar
 kable bird species. Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra
 pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis
 ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by 
 an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides
 pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in
 vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the
  Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse
 um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of 
 Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br
 ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. 
 Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s
 ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist
 s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef
 forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e
 xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at
  Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers
 ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio
 n for these exhibits  on Thursday\, April 16\, with a lecture by Cornell L
 ab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search
  for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160\, and a reception at 5:00 p
 .m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!\n\nOther related events

DESCRIPTION:he Barbara L. Kuhlman Foundation\, Inc. is a non-profit entity
  established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college 
 professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned 
 status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation
  continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph
 ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 
 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\
 , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv
 e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman
  scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f
 ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted 
 to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was 
 chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen
 tal from a different perspective and yet one commonality seems to be the e
 xamination of our relationship with nature. Will focusing on the elements 
 offer a reprieve? Can it take us to a dark place? According to the work in
  this exhibition\, the answer is yes. It is a subject that contains multit
 udes. We hope you enjoy seeing the creative journeys this year's Kuhlman S
 cholars took.
