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.

Logan Lecture: Candida Alvarez

Candida Alvarez calls her paintings  chatty abstractions.  Comprising controlled fields of color, delicate mark-making, and seeping geometries, Alvarez's paintings may contain bright and vivid tones or more somber hues that evoke a soliloquy and a mental landscape. Born from the artist's close observations of her family she grew up in a lively Puerto Rican household and from everyday experience, these ebullient works recall the distant horizons as seen from her childhood home in a Brooklyn high-rise and describe its intimate interior. Lately, Alvarez has drawn inspiration from the tropical environment of Puerto Rico and her mother who had returned to live on the island before the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria in 2017 forced her to move.  

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.
