A Wonderful Start to Fall TRaC Team


Visual Arts Team Outing on Saturday 11, 2008 to the Museum of Modern Arts


An especially lovely evening was spent together with our wonderful supervisor, the one and only, Anna, in the Museum of Modern Arts. Starting off a bit late because of some delays (sorry Anna!!!), we made our way to the MOMA exhibitions. I could have sworn I felt the excited energy eminating from everyone in the group. There were MANY interesting artworks to see (including a body that was coming out of the wall...)

To those who are not familiar as to who I am, I am the new assigned blog captain, Shinthia (Cynthia :] ). As the "blog captain" I will keep everyone posted on all the juicy information and exciting things that the Visual Arts team does. For now, CHOW!!!
