UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS (Subject to change.)

Thanks to special funding from the Mead Witter Foundation and other donors, we are expanding our exhibit space. The Changing Exhibit Gallery is closed for remodeling through June, 2008.

Introductions Through Paper: An Invitational Exhibit of Five Emerging Paper Artists
July 2008 – September 2008
In this exhibit the Museum will continue its commitment to artists who focus on paper as a primary medium. Inspired by previous juried exhibits of student work, we hope to offer a review of works by artists who continue to investigate diverse and new approaches to this art form. Artists recently graduated from accredited paper programs or who have created significant current bodies of work will be reviewed for selection.

Papermaking and the Beginning of the Renaissance
October 2008 – December 2008
During the black plague in Europe, many monks and scholars fled to the mountains in Italy where they met papermakers and changed communication forever. European paper was first produced in Fabriano Italy in 1276. During the next two hundred years, Italy and Europe experience the arrival of the Renaissance and Guttenberg's remarkable inventions. This exhibit will examine paper's little acknowledged but significant contributions to this important period of time. This exhibition is partially sponsored by IPAM (International Partnership Among Museums).
