Starting in May, the Slater Concourse Gallery in the Tufts University Art Gallery, which is housed in the Aidekman Arts Center, will be featuring a distinctly unique exhibition. Curated by senior Grace Hoyt, the exhibition is entitled “Documenting American Ethos in the 1930s: Photographs by Walker Evans and Arthur Rothstein.” The two 40-foot-tall walls of the gallery will be lined with Depression-era photographs provided by the Tufts University Permanent Art Collection.
