Take a Polaroid on January 25 and Become Part of the Fine Arts Gallery’s Warhol Exhibition

Posted by on Wednesday, January 24, 2018 in Events, Fine Arts Gallery, HART, News, Student/Alumni, VRC.

DollyPartoncollections-photographyIn conjunction with FAMOUS! (and not-so-famous): Polaroids by Andy Warhol, currently on view in Cohen Hall, the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery is hosting a special program, Picture Me!  Vanderbilt students can take a Polaroid, just like Andy Warhol, and become a part of the exhibition itself. The event will be held on Thursday, January 25, from 4 to 7 pm.

The exhibit affords a glimpse into Warhol’s creative process and the people—friends and clients—in his life. From 1970 to 1987, Andy Warhol took scores of Polaroid and black-and-white photographs, the vast majority of which were never seen by the public. Students are encouraged to think about the role of photography in creative endeavors, friendships, and the construction of fame, by taking their own Polaroids to add to the exhibition.
