This Must Be the Place

Exhibition
Mon, Aug 26–Mon, Sept 30
Elmaleh Gallery

How does space become place? Taking inspiration from this prompt and the Talking Heads’ 1983 song, This Must Be the Place, the Elmaleh Gallery is transformed into a welcoming lounge or "third space" where new and returning students can observe, learn/re-learn, and engage with what makes this school, university, and city unique, and uniquely theirs.

No previous experience is required; materials will be provided. Hosted by sketch@UVA and the UVA Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students AIAS (AIAS).
