They came by bus, bike and subway. They pushed strollers, hefted backpacks and shared a glass of wine. They had graduated in 2008, 1984 or 1960. But RISD’s corner in Brooklyn – the 2008 NYC Alumni Biennial – was the gathering point for more than 700 alumni and guests to view 75 works of art and reconnect with fellow artists and designers.

Featuring works by 55 alumni living in the NYC region, representing 15 majors and spanning 4 decades, the exhibition continues until the end of September. Alumni are invited to participate in the continuing events surrounding the exhibition. Join us for gallery talks (with curators Lisa Sigal + Glenn Ligon); studio visits with alumni Janine Antoni, Paul Ramirez-Jonas and Nicole Eisenman and current RISD faculty; film/animation showings of RISD alumni; and music events including Marissa Nadler.
