Throughout the year, Mills College Art Museum (MCAM) presents an array of public programs from contemporary exhibitions and student showcases, to artist talks, performances, and our artist residency Art + Process + Idea. Less visible, are the activities we're engaged in beyond the galleries. With over 13,000 objects in our permanent collection and an exhibition archive dating back to the 1920s, Glass Cube reflects on the ideas and objects preserved within our storage areas and vertical filing cabinets. In the spirit of inquiry and engagement, Glass Cube sheds light on art and culture in the Bay Area through the prism of MCAM's historical record. We will share stories from our archives, objects in our collection, and the staff, students, artists, and researchers who tend to/towards them.
