Thank you for being part of the Bard Graduate Center community, where we explore, share, and celebrate the stories objects tell through research, teaching, exhibitions, and publications!

As you enjoy the holidays, we hope even the dishes around you, like this dessert plate designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for Minton & Co., inspire you to reflect on how objects shape who we are and what we value.

Most of all, know that you matter to us—we’re so grateful for you. Wishing you a joyful Thanksgiving!
