On Friday, crowds of college students made their way to the North Carolina Museum of Art for the first annual “College Night,” put on by NCMA’s College Advisory Council.

At the event, students were able to view the current “30 Americans” exhibition, which displayed the works of 31 contemporary African-American artists, all lent to the museum by the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, Florida. The 75 works ranged from portraits made of rhinestones and oil paints to old carpets and sculptures made of human hair.
