Native American Student Union at UVa: Hoos Down Under

  April 30, 2019

Exhibition

Hoos Down Under was a free pass for UVA students to explore the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection and more of what Charlottesville has to offer! We offered free food from Roots, live music performances by UVA student bands (The Shrugs, BOFA and The BLNDRS), tours of the current exhibitions and art storage by Kluge-Ruhe interns, and an outdoor film screening of TE ATA by VAFF at 9pm. Free transportation was provided to and from the museum, with buses running every 15 minutes from the UVA Chapel.
