In the Mather dorm room where Leah V. Schecter '13 lives, the walls are covered in color. Pages torn from MFA calendars bring images of famous works to the room. Schecter's own paintings hang alongside them.

If this sounds like your room, congratulations. If your walls are considerably more bare, Schecter has the event for you.

As co-president of the Harvard College Art Society, she is helping to run a studio party this Friday where attendees can craft their own dorm decorations.The program was suggested by freshmen who recently signed up for the club, which is also known as hART. From 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, participants will have the chance to use the supplies in the Adams Art Space, a converted squash court which now houses an assortment of paints, chalks, papers, brushes, and more. Schecter said that while hART members will be on hand to answer questions, any students can attend and can create any projects they imagine. To provide inspiration, hART members made sample projects for the event.

This is one Friday night that could bring some color to the rest of your year. "There definitely should be extracurricular opportunities for art," said Schecter.
