Anthology: Contemporary Narrative Art from the Lise Curry Collection Exhibition

Exhibition Dates: June 6–September 13

������� Art Gallery is pleased to present Anthology: Contemporary Narrative Art from the Lise Curry Collection, a faculty/student-curated exhibition celebrating the generous bequest of more than 200 works of art from collector Lise Curry. The exhibition opens with a free public reception on Friday, June 6, from 5:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. and will remain on view through September 13.

Created in alignment with Curry’s vision for an academic collection that fosters education and engagement, the exhibition was curated by ������� students Ellis Clay ’25 and Vesper Vargas ’28 under the guidance of gallery director Sarah Cunningham.

“Curating this exhibit has been the highlight of my freshman year,” Vargas said. “As an art major, I gained valuable insight into how exhibitions are created from start to finish.”

With its broad thematic range, the Curry Collection inspired the curatorial team to shape the exhibition around four narrative-driven sections: Strong Women, Relational Pairs, City of Jazz, and Natural Abstraction— viewed as chapters in a larger narrative about living with joy, integrity, and curiosity. The Anthology exhibit features work by more than 30 contemporary artists working in painting, drawing, and photography. As part of the exhibit, the gallery has also commissioned a new site-specific textile installation by artist Rosa Chang, who expands on her existing piece in the collection using traditional Korean indigo and natural dye techniques.

“I am so grateful to Ms. Curry for her remarkable gift, which is already transforming the way we teach and learn here at �������,” Cunningham said.

Featured artists include Elana Adler, Daphne Arthur, Maya Brodsky, Bri Cirel, Beatrice Coron, Antide de Champagne, Francks Deceus, Rose Deler, Lola Flash, Joseph Franklin, Takao Fujioka, Takao Fujioka, Jocelyne Gaudreau, Nathalie Grenier, Cynthia Hartling, Zach Horn, Laura James, Philippe Lechien, Peter Leitch, Christine Mace, Megan Marlatt, Carolina Martinez, Felicita Maynard, Hibiki Miyazaki, Rebecca Morgan, Rachelle Mozman, Rowan Renee, Sigita Rucinskaite-Praneviciene, Sir Shadow, Joshie South, Natsuki Takauji, Mark Tanabe, Willie Torbert, and Rasa Vaisvilaite.
