DESCRIPTION:A series of curator-led tours exploring the exhibition For Which It Stands… will take place throughout the spring at the Fairfield University Art Museum\, 1073 North Benson Road\, Fairfield\, CT 06824. \nLed by Carey Weber\, curator of the exhibition and executive director of the Fairfield University Art Museum\, these tours offer an in-depth look at the works and themes behind the exhibition.
