The museum staff hosts special one hour programs for Valparaiso University students throughout the exhibition season. These coffee hours start at 7:00pm and include refreshments. The purpose of these programs is to help students learn more about the Brauer Museum and the field of art in general. Activities include discussions, poetry readings, and conversation.
