Widener Gallery
Austin Arts Center’s Widener Gallery showcases Working Through / Working Forward, an exhibit featuring the creations of several regional artists.

We enlisted Johnnetta Betsch Cole H’98, president emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges, who was, at the time, a fellow at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to help us think about increasing the number of women of color presidents in academia.
