John Kisch '76 has been collecting visual artifacts of African American cinema for decades. Now his collection is available to museums, as a coffee table book, and as an iPad app.

Elisabeth Sussman, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, will receive the 2013 Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence from The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard.

Last fall, musician Amanda Palmer and her band The Grand Theft Orchestra were in residence at Bard, performing shows at the Fisher Center and filming the video for "The Bed Song," from their album Theater Is Evil. On Valentine's Day they released the much-anticipated video.

Highlights of this year's SummerScape at the Bard Fisher Center include the 24^th Bard Music Festival, “Stravinsky and His World,” Taneyev’s opera Oresteia, Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, and Bill T. Jones/Anne Bogart’s new Rite. This year's festival will take place July 6 through August 18.

The Times features this year's SummerScape festival, which highlights Russia and examines the cultural impact of Igor Stravinsky.

Join us for two free events in February at the Fisher Center. On February 12, choreographer and director Bill T. Jones and longtime New Yorker staff writer Lawrence Weschler discuss art and its relationship to science, history, technology, and current events. On February 16, the Company performs a work-in-process showing of Story, a new work created during its week in residence at Bard.
