Known as <em>Bubble Dinners<\/em>, they&nbsp;provide students a preview of life as an artist outside the protective bubble of the&nbsp;Bates. Sometime these guests are well established and award winning artists, and at&nbsp;other times they are young, emerging artists or alumni reporting back on their&nbsp;successes and giving inspiration to the soon to be graduated. These events are open&nbsp;to the entire campus community.
