      The Sullivan Museum and History Center is a state-of-the-art museum attached to Kreitzberg Library. The museum displays artifacts from the university collection and regularly mounts new exhibits. Visitors can learn more about university history and campus ties to major historic events.

Join the Sullivan Museum & History Center for a Lunch & Learn with Cara Armstrong, exploring how drawing shapes our understanding of architecture, place, and memory.

The Sullivan Museum & History Center celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Norwich University’s School of Architecture + Art with a Lunch & Learn featuring Cara Armstrong, associate dean of Norwich University’s College of Professional Schools, who will explore how drawing can help us think differently about architecture and the spaces we inhabit. Through her Vermont Interludes series and a related work from her Architectural Patchwork quilt series (nine works currently on view at the Sullivan Museum), she will reflect on how light, shadow, place, and space shape our memories, perceptions, and lived experience. Grounded in her recent Independent Study Leave research, the talk considers how careful observation and everyday spaces can foster resilience, reflection, and a sense of belonging.
