The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar has collaborated with artist and researcher, Sa’dia Rehman on a new exhibition, Water/Bodies: Sa’dia Rehman, the centerpiece of which is a massive site-responsive wall drawing that engages critically with Vassar’s founding collection of Hudson River School art.

Vassar has made an ongoing effort to acknowledge the displacement of Native peoples from the land where the campus has been built and to build relationships with those Native nations today. The College recently hosted a visit by the Tribal Liaison from the Stockbridge-Munsee, whose ancestors were forcibly moved from the land.

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center announces the recent appointments of two remarkable individuals to pivotal Post-Baccalaureate fellowship positions. The expansion of the Loeb’s staff reflects our ongoing commitment to sharing the Loeb’s outstanding art collection and exhibition program with our diverse campus and community audiences.

Making a Life in Photography: Rollie McKenna is the first career retrospective of the single most represented photographer in the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center—Rollie McKenna ’40. The exhibition, on view at the Loeb through June 2, features more than 100 of her photographs—from portrait and architectural to documentary photography.
