First Friday: July- More Virtual Exhibitions and Lectures

Since our first post on virtual events and exhibitions in May, we have discovered many more resources to share with the TSA Community. As quarantine continued and everyone adjusted to the best of our abilities under these new and ever-changing circumstances, more events have transitioned to a virtual space. The below list includes links to new online lectures and exhibitions that we thought would be of interest to our members. Though we all miss the thrill of visiting these exhibitions and lectures in person, it is exciting to be able to share in events that many of us may have missed due to geographical differences prior to pandemic life. We hope that these online events and virtual experiences provide new ways to connect as we patiently await being able to safely gather together.

If you know of any virtual events or exhibitions, that you would like to share with the TSA community, please email us at our Submit an Opportunity page.
