Good work by #AuburnUniversity and the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art there, which just presented artist Binh Danh with its inaugural William Collins Smith Auburn Award for Advancing American Art. Our director, David Odo, participated on the committee that selected Danh. The artist will visit Auburn this October as part of a residency that involves working with students.
