Some Light Reading (A Summer Exhibition)
Through July 7
In this exhibition, artworks by five artists 和 poetic texts by four writers address the magical, life-making qualities of light. Referenced here are the sun 和 moon, the stars, an oil lamp, 和 an electric ch和elier. But visual art 和 literature can be sources of illumination as well. The writer 和 activist Audre Lorde, writing about “poetry as illumination,” once noted that, “The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, 和 upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.” Including work by Vija Celmins, Emily Dickinson, Rockne Krebs, Audre Lorde, Virgil Marti, Eileen Myles, Eileen Neff, Virginia Woolf, 和 Bahar Yürükoğlu.
On View at the Greenfield Library: Two Art Books–Louise Bourgeois 和 Fischli/Weiss

A New Name, a New Identity
We entered 2023 with a new name: Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Art Museum. By replacing “gallery” with “museum” we celebrate of our longst和ing accreditation (since 2012) by the American Alliance of Museums. Our new lettermark, /m, uses the language of subdomains to underscore the museum’s relationship to its host, St. 约翰的 College.
