Case size: The glass frames of each display case are 40″ tall x 33.5″ wide. The interior of the cases are slightly larger: 42″ tall x 35.5″ wide x about 2″ deep. The main wall has 10 cases; across from that are 4 cases, and just beyond, kind of around the corner, are 4 more cases.
Volunteers are needed to help hang the exhibitions in the basement display cases and student union. The display cases can be hung either Friday, March 20 from 5:30-7:30, or Saturday afternoon, Mach 21, depending on which time-slot more people volunteer for. Please let Alice Zinnes (azinnes@pratt.edu) know if are able to help.
