From the Dean In marking its 60th anniversary, Boston University College of Fine Arts is proud to invite the BU and global community in a creative discussion and call to action around the 2014–2015 KEYWORD: INTERSECT.

Since 1954, the CFA community has experienced milestones in history, technological innovation, and enormous social change. Evolution is not always easy; but these moments of synergy and tension are the wellspring of artistic creation and academic advancement. As we celebrate six decades, the College of Fine Arts presents a year of programming that examines how forms of expression, disciplines of study, sociological constructs, and race and gender intertwine.

Join CFA in this investigation into time and space, this refl ection on history, and this contemplation of the future.

Warmest regards,Benjamín JuárezCollege of Fine Arts, Boston University

The Keyword Initiative is funded in part by Nancy Livingston (COM’69) and her husband, Fred Levin, through the Shenson Foundation, in memory of Ben and A. Jess Shenson.
