Cambridge College hosted an art exhibit January 21 – February 15, 2020 in the Town Common Gallery at the main campus in Boston. The exhibit, presented by The Cambridge Art Association, represented Liminal Space, the time between “what was” and “what is next” – a place of transition, a season of waiting and not knowing. Liminal Space is where all transformation takes place if we learn to wait and let it form us. The exhibit served as the focus to relate our connections, places we've lived, traveled, or visited, and how we describe these connections in terms of our identity.
This six-module program, held at the Cambridge College main campus in Boston, began in late January and will end in early April. Energy and enthusiasm are evident already. One student commented, “This course has given me so much new information.” Another stated, “It helps me think more systematically about the work I do and how I approach my work,” And another student shared, “I enjoyed networking with others and hearing other perspectives and experiences.”
