Join us for the sixth annual Winter/Miller Lecture on Thursday, March 30, at 6 pm, featuring acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Trenton Doyle Hancock.

Hancock’s appearance at the Tang Teaching Museum is by invitation from Naima Nigh ’23, a Management and Business major. She holds the prestigious 2022-23 Eleanor Linder Winter ’43 Internship, a one-year pre-professional program in museum work for Skidmore students. In this role, Nigh is charged with the research, planning, and coordination of the annual Winter/Miller Lecture.
