All students are welcome to join us, so please bring your friends. Afterwards we’ll head over together to the Logan Center for a free screening of works by Habib Allah and Serbian filmmaker Želimir Žilnik at 7pm.
The Ren’s Student Committee is an active group of about 12 University of Chicago students, both undergraduate and graduate, from all fields of study. We’re looking for members who are enthusiastic about contemporary art and interested in learning more about the Renaissance Society’s program. Members act as ambassadors for the museum to the wider campus community and help get the word out about what we have to offer. In return, we offer a unique opportunity to engage behind-the-scenes with contemporary art, artists, museum professionals, and other students.
Student committee meetings take place every other week at the Renaissance Society, and we hope that members will endeavor to attend as many public Renaissance Society events as possible.
Applications are now closed Please complete our online application by WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17 at 9am. Successful applicants will be notified on Wednesday, October 17 and the first meeting will be held on Friday, October 19, 10-11am. Subsequent meetings this quarter will take place on November 2, November 16, and December 7.
