The S. Ann Colbourne gallery is currrently exhibiting pieces from our Artist in Residence, Rebecca Pokua Korang, but from October 2026 the space will be given over to Rhodes Scholars, Atlantic Fellows and Schmidt Science Fellows exploring the theme of Show Me Why You Love Home.
The exhibitors are working with a wide range of media and representing many different interpretations of what home is, how it can be found, and the ways to celebrate it.
