2026 Spring Bulb Show Installation

This year’s installations were created by  student artists Annika Peterson ’26 and Cola Sh i’28. The prompt to the students were asked to respond in their proposals was Doing and making as a way of knowing: What materializes from an artistic process that seeks to engage and investigate the living world? The resulting installation will be featured in this year's bulb show, opening March 7. 

An opening reception of Reflections by Annika Peterson ’26 & The Temperature of Breath by Cola Shi ’28 will take place on Monday, March 9 from 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm in Lyman Conservatory. Come see the work of these two artists, hear from them about their process, and celebrate their success among the bulbs!
