Featured Event Exhibition: A Gathering of Leaves November 10, 2018 from Artist Annie Zeybekoglu '67. Tea is everywhere--its ubiquitous presence rivals the most common object. Once used, each stained teabag holds a personal experience, records a private sharing, serves as a visual reminder of conversations, reunions, and journeys. Tea is a common denominator in much of the artwork of Smith alumna Annie Zeybekoglu '67. Tea serves as a vehicle for preserving memories offering subtle tonalities that have evolved into her artist’s palette, finding expression in her handcrafted jewelry, books and image making. Exhibition on view Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Opening exhibition reception is Friday, Sept. 28, 5-7 p.m. September 10-December 14, Alumnae House Gallery, 33 Elm St. 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
