Opening: Monttessuy Center for the Arts

November 18, 2021 @ 1:00 pm to 5:45 pm CET

Students, staff and faculty are invited to celebrate the opening of The Monttessuy Center for the Arts, a consolidated home for art history and fine arts at AUP featuring classrooms, studio spaces and the Olivia de Havilland Theater.

In order to respect Covid-19 protocols, capacity for each timed visit will be limited. There will be four visits in total. Note that guests will be asked to wear masks at all times. Each visit will be approximately 45 minutes and comprise a special scavenger hunt to discover the Monttessuy Center for the Arts (with prizes for the winning teams!), remarks by President Celeste Schenck, and a special student performance by Vivre Performance Arts (Acting Club, Dance Team and AUP Music & Performance) in the Olivia de Havilland Theater.

An invitation has been sent to all students, faculty and staff via email. Exclusive viewings for alumni will be planned for a later date.

We look forward to seeing you there!
