An exhibition of large-format watercolors by Hallie Cohen. All of the paintings in
MiRicordo: Roman Watercolors
were produced at the American Academy in Rome in the Visiting Artists and Scholars program between 2015-2024. These 12-foot x 5-foot paintings constitute an ambitious and immersive body of work dealing with memory and subjective experience.
This exhibition features the work of ten practice-based BA and BFA art majors. It includes examples of work from graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators and studio artists. The breadth and scope of media and styles attest to the diversity of approaches and individual visions that are the hallmark of the art program at MMC. Join us in celebrating our students’ accomplishments.
This group exhibition features contemporary artists who explore animation as an extension of a traditional plastic arts process, as well as animators who walk the experimental edge where the ‘illusion of life’ succumbs to the allure of the infinite possibilities of the next frame.
Artists in the exhibition include: Aryel René Jackson, Erma Fiend, Ezra Wube, Jeremy Couillard, Joseph Silver, Lorin Roser, Mari Jaye Blanchard, Matt Bollinger, Matt Richtards, Mike Estabrook, Scott Kiernan, Tadashi Moriyama, and Vandana Jain. Curated by Brian Zegeer with Hallie Cohen.
MAKING VISIBLE: Migration and Identity - April 3-May 2, 2023
The exhibition features nine artists who have immigrated from various parts of the world, including Mexico, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Taiwan, Honduras, the Philippines, and Iran.
The artists employ a range of mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media. Their work interrogates issues of assimilation, adaption, cultural identity, and representation. They have crossed borders both real and imagined, finding connections between their own personal experiences and those of a wider audience.
The Hewitt Gallery of Art
The Gallery provides opportunities for art majors to gain first-hand experience in exhibiting their Senior Thesis projects, as well as having solo exhibitions in their spring semester. Juniors also exhibit in an annual group exhibition and students are able to curate and organize shows in conjunction with their mentors and the Gallery Director.
The Hewitt Gallery of Art, comprised of the Esplanade and the adjacent Black and White Galleries in Nugent Hall and Carson Hall, offers the Marymount Manhattan community exposure to professional artists and to the larger art world.
In conjunction with the exhibitions, gallery receptions give students the opportunity to engage with professional artists, critics, collectors, and curators. Many of the exhibiting artists are also guest presenters in our Art and Art History classes.
