Fall 2026

VAPA at 50 considers the history and future of the College’s iconic Visual and Performing Arts Center, designed by architect Robertson Ward. Curated by architecture faculty emeritus Donald Sherefkin and Garrick Jones ’94, the exhibition features archival documents, a scale model of VAPA, and creative responses to the building by Bennington students and alums on the occasion of its semicentennial.
