The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is free and open to all. The Loeb Art Center enhances and supports the College’s goals of leadership, scholarship, and integrative learning.
The Loeb achieves this through the preservation, documentation, interpretation, presentation, and development of its collections; and through a dynamic program of temporary exhibitions and educational activities aimed at diverse audiences. Art should stand “boldly forth as an educational force,” declared founder Matthew Vassar. His college was the country’s first to be founded with a gallery and teaching collection.
Exhibitions
An Unfamiliar Place: Modern Landscape in East Asian and Asian American Works on Paper
Reproductive: Health, Fertility, Agency
My Grandmother’s Whispers: Indigenous Prints and Beadwork
Events
Gathering historic and contemporary art in various media, the exhibition invites viewers to explore how the Hudson Valley has been pictured as a place both proximate to the city and its opposite—a “great green hope” as much fantasy as reality. Artists Tanya Marcuse, Qiana Mestrich, and Lisa Sanditz will discuss how their work responds to the Hudson Valley landscape in myth and reality.
Do you know someone who has been meaning to visit the Loeb but hasn’t made it happen yet? Or someone who thinks art isn’t for them, and you’d like to convince them otherwise? Please join us for our second annual Bring a Friend Day, and enjoy a day full of activities—together. The day’s offerings include art-making, engaging mini-tours, and light refreshments.
