Coming Home - May 12, 2018

On Saturday, May 12, 2018, Visual Communications hosted the first of our series of signature events to celebrate the organization’s upcoming 50th anniversary, PAST//FORWARD: Coming Home. Our goal is to celebrate VC’s past, present, and future by (re)connecting with people and communities who made great things happen.
