Bates College Museum of Art
Museum hours: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday
Through March 27
Collection Project 4: Selections from Alumni Collections: This exhibition, fourth in a series examining works from the permanent collection, focuses on some of the wonderful holdings donated by Bates alumni. Not a comprehensive survey of alumni gifts, the exhibition highlights collections that have had a significant impact on the museum, underscoring the importance of alumni gifts to the richness of the permanent collection. The museum has invited student curatorial interns from the art and visual culture department to develop an exhibition from within these collections: seniors Molly Richmond, Emma Scott and Annie Svigals, under the guidance of the museum’s curator, Bill Low, and curator of education Anthony Shostak.
Through March 26
Joel Babb: The Process Revealed: This exhibition investigates the role of both the act of drawing and the drawings themselves in making a painting. Rather than mere by-products of the act of creating paintings, drawings are engaging, satisfying and instructive in their own right. Illustrating the creative process by pairing preparatory drawings with finished paintings, this exhibition will reveal the many stages of work that go into a resolved piece of art.
Barry Nemett: Drawings from Italy: This exhibition presents landscapes made during travels to Italy. Nemett chairs the painting department at the Maryland Institute College of Art and has received numerous awards including two from the Alfred and Trafford Klots Residency Program to paint in France and a Ford Foundation grant to support his work in Italy.
