Curator Conversation: The Life and Work of Nancy Hemenway Barton

Join curator Jill D’Alessandro and the artist’s son, Bill Barton, for a discussion about Nancy Hemenway Barton's artistic influences, practice, and personal history. From 1966 to 1997, Nancy Hemenway Barton, an artist from the Maine coast, created large-scale wall reliefs using hand-loomed fabrics primarily sourced from indigenous weaving communities in South America and Africa, where she had lived and worked.

Session #1 Why Should We Art: Art Transforms

Research shows that humans are hard-wired to create and to look at art. Both activities stimulate our brains, provoke our emotions, and help us to connect with the world around us. In this learn about the impact of artmaking and art-viewing on the brain, explore artworks that were created for the act of beholding, healing, and growth, and spend time in the galleries with a slow art experience.
