From: Williams College Museum of ArtWALLS Spring Pickup Day
It’s hard to believe, but this is the 10th year of WALLS (Williams Art Loan for Living Spaces), our student art loan program! This semester, Pickup Day is Sunday, Feb. 4. Lineup starts at 6 a.m. at Goodrich Hall. First-come, first-choice selections begin at 9 a.m.
There’s an amazing selection of 125 works available for students to borrow this semester; browse the entire collection on Instagram. Or come to WCMA the day before Pickup Day Saturday, Feb. 3, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.—for some snacks and to strategize your Pickup Day plan.
Preparing for WALLS
Getting ready for WALLS pickup day is a huge job, and this month we are delighted to have had help from Daisy Billington, a senior at Bennington College. Daisy has been working closely with Rachel Heisler, WCMA’s Associate Curator for Campus and Community Engagement, to check the condition of all 125 works in the collection and prepare them for Pickup Day on Feb. 4.
Daisy also is helping to plan our special party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first WALLS Pickup Day, which was Feb. 16, 2014. Everyone is invited to stop by the museum on Friday, Feb. 16, 2024, to mark 10 years of WALLS with cupcakes, hot cider, and fun!
