Join us as we celebrate the opening of our first two gallery exhibitions of 2021.
Time and the River’s Edge presents 25 years of Patty Stone’s creative work and celebrates her tenure teaching at Wheaton. The exhibition will be displayed on campus as well as virtually and includes paintings and prints spanning the mid-1990s through 2020. Stone’s work explores the tension between nature and the built environment through mapping, collage, and the fluidity and texture of her chosen mediums.
The Tens, highlights selected work from students who received the Friends of Art Purchase Prize from 2011-2020. These pieces are part of the Wheaton College Permanent Collection and range from photography to film to illustration. The talented alumni artists included in this exhibition are: 2011 Katharine Heyl, Emiko Kurokawa, Rosemary Liss; 2012 Skye Landon, Emily Timm, Tim Oxton; 2013 Caroline Isaacs, Walker Downey; 2014 Soraya Matos; 2015 Lindsey Gillis; 2016 Cloë Ella Urbanczyk, Sienna Van Slooten; 2017 Charlotte Hall; 2018 Aleza Epstein; 2019 Bhavika Dugar; 2020 Elisa McClear
The exhibitions will be on display February 16–March 27, 2021.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Beard & Weil Galleries will only be open to the on-campus Wheaton community during the spring 2021 semester. We will make every effort to make our exhibitions available virtually during this time. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this global challenge and we look forward to welcoming you back to campus when we are able to resume normal operations.
