Shelter is vital. It’s required for us to survive but also to thrive. Curated by students enrolled in ARTH 335: Exhibition Design, Shelter interrogates the spaces in which we live, play, work, and worship, the objects found in such spaces, and the concept of “shelter”, broadly defined.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m., Thursdays 1:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m.

Please note: the galleries will be closed November 27—December 1 for November break and December 11, 2022–January 20, 2025 for winter break.

Gallery Opening Reception : Reclaiming History; Archives as Resistance
2025-02-20 18:00 | Watson Fine Arts – Beard and Weil Galleries, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
We may think of archives as passive repositories but the projects in this exhibition explore how archives can rewrite history, activating counter-narratives. The projects range from artist books from the Women’s Studio Workshop; materials documenting Wheaton’s history from the Gebbie Archives and Special Collections; Tirazain, a digital archive of Palestinian tatreez embroidery designs; the Rhode Island-based Binch Press/Queer.Archive.Work‘s Community Supported Art (CSA) project, and the nonprofit Internet Archive. These varied examples show how archives celebrate non-dominant and non-linear stories and show us that history is not static.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Thursdays 1:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m. Please note: the galleries will be closed March 9—17 for spring break.

Tatreez Embroidery Workshop

Join us for an evening of creativity and exploration at the galleries as we dive into the intricate world of tatreez embroidery- a centuries old Palestinian art form that weaves together history, identity and storytelling through vibrant thread work. This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the fundamental stitches, patterns, and symbolism behind tatreez and invites both seasoned embroiderers as well as those picking up a needle for the first time!
