One of the best parts about living as a meager college student in New York City is that museums take pity on you. Twice a year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts a themed College Night for all college students who want to be infused with a bit of culture. Students get to explore a featured exhibit for a few hours and flirt with one another in a high-art setting. If that doesn't sound appealing, did I mention there's free snacks that can definitely double as dinner? Oh yeah, good stuff.
This year, the theme of the night was A Brush with Asia and the featured exhibit was Ink Art: Past as Present in Contemporary China. Here's a smattering of photos taken by Jo (who was smart, didn't listen to me, and brought her camera for which I am eternally grateful). The exhibit lasts until April 6, so go and see it before it's gone forever! Even if you're not a fan of contemporary art, it's too fascinating to pass up. Be sure to check out the four portraits of a young man with Chinese characters inked onto his face. Believe me, you'll know it when you see it.
