The weekend events will kick off Oct. 4 with an opening reception for an exhibition of paintings at the University Museum from 4 to 6 p.m. The exhibition, titled "The View from Union Square," features 45 oils, watercolors and pastels that capture the changing moods of seasons of an historic New York neighborhood, school officials said.
