But First, Lemme Take a (FAB) Selfie.

Web Editor Ashna Kumar investigates the best spots to take selfies around the new Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Family Center for the Arts.

  1. selfiesIf you find yourself wandering into the control center of the Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Theater, make sure you stop by the world’s smallest elevator (self-proclaimed by me). While small, this device provides the necessary accessibility for the tiny space—the actual definition of the common adage “small but mighty.”
  2. If you have time, make sure to stop by the sixth grade drug safety posters in the All-School Visual Arts Exhibition. This is a helpful reminder that DRUGS ARE BAD. The entire room consists of windows, so make sure to take advantage of the amazing lighting.
  3. Wandering through the halls, make sure you stop by the Upper School Black Box. There are lots of fun props to pose with and structures you can explore. While the lighting might not be optimal for a selfie, flash makes everyone look fun.

  5. Bernice the Skeleton in the Painting Studio is also a hot gal to take a selfie with. That smile—wow, it’s dazzling. The lighting in the room makes her bones glow and also your face shine (see my face for reference). This is definitely a must-go destination on your selfie tour around the fine arts building.
  6. Finally, the best place to take a selfie in the entire building is the Kaminski Dressing Room. The spot lighting around the room highlights every crevice of your face and gives you an overall nice feeling when you look at the blinding lights.
