Let’s play a game. What’s the first thing you think of when I say “romance”? I know what you’re thinking. Norris Center at Northwestern University! That’s what I was thinking too. Nothing makes the sparks fly more than a nice cup o’ joe from Norris Starbucks and stunning views of University Library. Is there a better place in the world to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Celebration is part of every person’s life for reasons big and small. However, what is truly important often gets lost in the trappings and experiential value. Is your celebration meaningful or empty? Erin Elizabeth’s Embracing the Chaos exhibit is showing in Dittmar Gallery from January 6 to February 12 and ask yourself the question: Why do I celebrate?
Architects from Ennead Architects invite the Northwestern community to give feedback on the new University Commons video “fly through” and floor plans during a presentation at Norris.

Romance novels. Lots of pages from romance novels. That’s the medium for Carrie Schumacher’s Build Her a Myth, the current exhibit at Dittmar Gallery in Norris Center. But her creation is not what you would expect. Schumacher used the pages to create life-sized (and some mini-sized) dresses, showcased on mannequins, to “examine the demands that feminine culture places upon women,” particularly at the intersection of fashion and romance.
Build Her a Myth is on display through Sunday, December 4. Read more to see video of the exhibit.
Holiday craft fun! Come and make crafts from over 50 DIY gift projects. You can personalize bowls or mugs, create ornaments, make jewelry, cards, and more!
Halloween is almost here and Norris has got you covered with a fix of pumpkins and trick or treating.
