RIT’s College of Art and Design is sponsoring a trip to see Joshua Rashaad McFadden’s exhibition, “I Believe I’ll Run On,” at The George Eastman Museum on Thursday, April 7. McFadden is an assistant professor in the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences. 

The trip is entirely free to College of Art and Design students, faculty and staff. It includes round-trip bus transportation (departing campus at 5:15 p.m.), admission to the gallery, a book signing to celebrate the release of McFadden’s companion publication of the same name, and a talk featuring McFadden and book contributor Lyle Ashton Harris.

“I Believe I’ll Run On” is an early-career retrospective of the Rochester-based artist’s work in which he critically examines the racism and anti-Black violence that Black Americans have experienced from slavery to the present. ASL interpretation is scheduled for the talk.

Transportation details

Bus transportation is provided free to College of Art Design students, faculty and staff. If space is still available closer to the date of the event, it will be open to all RIT students. Reserve your seat on the bus.

The bus will pick up from the North Bus Shelter at RIT between F lot and the Center for Imaging Science at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6. Return transportation is provided from The George Eastman Museum back to RIT, leaving at 8 p.m. 

Proof of vaccination is required for entry into The George Eastman Museum. Face masks are required both on the bus, and within the Dryden Theatre (location of the talk), but not within the galleries.
