Umd Offers Weekly Shuttle Bus To The Philips Collection

The Thursday shuttle is part of a strategic partnership with the art museum.

"'We are thrilled that the shuttle is being operated,' said Sarah Corley, a Phillips Collection spokeswoman. 'Thursday is the day of the week where we stay open for later hours, so students can enjoy special events, some of which are sponsored by the university.'"

Admission to the Phillips Collection usually costs $10 for students and $12 for adults, but because of the partnership between the two institutions, admission is free for all students at this university with student IDs.

This university's chamber concert is taking place on Oct. 13, university spokesman Brian Ullmann said. Students can take the shuttle to see this concert, which will feature Henri Dutilleux's work. The concert is part of the university's goal of integrating the School of Music with The Phillips Collection, Ullmann said.

Thursday nights are also when most of this university's co-sponsored series, the "Conversations with Artists," take place. At these talks, artists share their work with the attendees and answer questions. The next talk, featuring Dario Robleto, is on Oct. 27, Corley said.
