Hello from Bates!<\/strong> Here\u2019s a listing of public events at the college for April 24-May 26, 2013.<\/p>\n

The public is invited <\/strong>to these events. Except as noted, admission is free. (Where two admission fees appear, the cost for the general public is listed first, followed by the cost for students and seniors.)<\/p>\n

Please note:<\/strong> The printed version of this calendar contained an erroneous listing for the Sheryl Bailey 3<\/strong> concert. The concert takes place Friday, May 17. In addition, an incorrect source for tickets for the Hot Club of San Francisco<\/strong> was cited. The correct source is this L\/A Arts site<\/a>. We regret the errors.<\/p>\n

Annual Senior Thesis Exhibition<\/em><\/a>: Culminating their yearlong thesis project, studio art majors Eleanor Anaclerio, Erin Augulewicz, Isaac Thompson and Amanda Wescott explore conceptual and psychological topics including the effects captured by a camera obscura; the relationships between spaces private and public, uninhabited and inhabited; representational portraits; and sculptural abstraction.<\/p>\n
