Imprinted: Illustrating Race examines the role of published images in shaping attitudes toward race and culture. More than 100 works of art and artifacts of widely circulated illustrated imagery will be on view, produced from the late eighteenth century to today, which have an impact on public perception about race in the United States. The exhibition will explore stereotypical racial representations that have been imprinted upon us through the mass publication of images. It culminates with the creative accomplishments of contemporary artists and publishers who have shifted the cultural narrative through the creation of positive, inclusive imagery emphasizing full agency and equity for all.

Created in collaboration with Chesterwood to honor the Lincoln Memorial’s centennial in May 2022, this exhibition will highlight the work of illustrators and artists who have incorporated the Lincoln Memorial into their art as a symbolic element – an instantly-recognizable icon upon which to build meaning. Approximately fifty historical and contemporary artworks by noted illustrators and cartoonists will be featured, as will archival photographs, sculptural elements, artifacts, and ephemera.
This exhibition features visitor favorites, rarely exhibited pieces, and stellar examples from the permanent collection. The installation inspires creative thinking, and asks viewers to consider the faces, postures, attire, and location of the varied portraits to experience close looking and even self-reflection. Artists featured include Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Stuart, Robert Henri, George Bellows, Frank Duveneck, and many more.
New York State Grange Photographs by Andrew Baugnet
This exhibition examines the history, cultural importance, and legacy of New York State granges. Baugnet's images of grange exteriors and interiors feature strong lines and evocative displays of light and shadow. The large-scale back and white photographs offer a stunning homage to the beauty and simplicity of these buildings.
Baugnet became fascinated by New York State grange buildings decades ago after following signs advertising a chicken dinner. Since then, he has spent much of his career photographing grange buildings across the state. Baugnet specializes in documenting historic architecture and the built environment. His grange photographs are visually compelling and serve as important records of rural communities.

2022 Quilt Group Show — Salmon Falls Gallery hosts eight quilt and fiber artists in a group exhibit featuring a wide range of quilting styles and techniques.
On view May 5 – June 27, 2022, reception on Sunday, May 8 from 2-4pm.
May 5 through June 27 Salmon Falls Gallery hosts an exhibition of eight mostly local quilters, many of national and award winning renown. Quilting, the stitching of fabrics together, has evolved from being an exercise of necessity to an art form. Along the way, it has become essential housework, social and community exercise, and hobby. The quintessential ‘women’s work’, quilting is a medium of nearly endless possibilities — both alone and coupled with other methods. This group of quilters were chosen for their wide range of styles and techniques, so that a full range of possibilities can be appreciated and contrasted.
Featured are the works of Timna Tarr, Lee Sproull, Carson Converse, Wen Redmond, Sarah Stroud, Ann Brauer, Carol Anne Grotrian, and Audrey Hyvonen.
There is a reception in the gallery for the artists and the community Sunday, May 8th from 2-4pm. All are welcome.
Salmon Falls Gallery is located at 1 Ashfield Street in Shelburne Falls, MA, 01370. Contact the gallery at 413-625-9833 or at salmonfalls@megaplanet.com. Beginning May 1, the gallery is open every day from 11am to 5pm.
Art Omi is excited to present an immersive installation by artist Portia Munson in the Newmark Gallery, on view from June 25 through September 25. For over two decades, Munson has teased out cultural codes latent in the mass-produced items that surround us. Her monochromatic installations underscore the pleasures of looking at a dizzying array of items that are at once seductive and utterly disposable. Munson’s work offers an incisive study of the desires and terrors lurking just under the surface of commodities.
Portia Munson (b. 1961) lives and works in Catskill, NY. She holds a BFA from Cooper Union, an MFA from Rutgers University, and studied at the Skowhegan School and Painting and Sculpture. Munson’s work has been shown internationally in major public and private exhibitions since the early 1990s. Munson’s work has also been in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad.
Incorrigibles: Bearing Witness to the Incarcerated Girls of New YorkOn view through September 9.Open Saturdays, 1 – 5 p.m.Ann Street Gallery • 104 Ann Street, NewburghOrganized by Alison Cornyn
Ann Street Gallery presents Incorrigibles: Bearing Witness to the Incarcerated Girls of New York, illuminating the systemic failure of the juvenile justice system and advocates for youth justice. Incorrigibles gives voice to the untold stories of those sent to the New York Training School for Girls throughout the 20th century. Located in Hudson, New York, the institution was established in 1904 as the only state-run re-educational facility to provide training for “delinquent” girls between the ages of 12 and 18; closing in 1975.
With Newburgh being one of the main communities who sent “incorrigible” girls to the institution, it is a special honor for Ann Street Gallery to host this exhibition in the heart of Newburgh’s downtown and share the Incorrigibles project with our community.
This special exhibition features several interactive elements, including immersive video, ephemera, participant contributions via text and audio, a film screening and a two-week long workshop intensive. Premiering in the exhibition is Incorrigibles’ “Expert Voices” a series of video dialogs on incarceration, trauma, and healing practices, along with archival and recent documentation and testimonies.
