From the comfort of home, get a behind-the-scenes look at the Middlebury College Museum of Art’s Fall 2021 special exhibitions: “Art & Protest: Artists as Agents of Social Change” and “A New Lens: Contemporary Video and Animation.” Live from the museum’s galleries, curators will talk about their process, highlight several works, and answer your questions.

Your hosts for the evening will be Museum Director Richard Saunders, A New Lens curator Sarah Briggs ’14.5, and Art & Protest co-curators María Ramirez ’21 and Jason Vrooman ’03.

Visit the museum to see art made around the globe and across thousands of years, ranging from a wall carving from an ancient Mesopotamian palace to a portrait by Kehinde Wiley. While you’re there, pick up a free exhibition poster to decorate your dorm, relax with a contemplative coloring sheet, and learn about student employment opportunities at the museum. You can also claim a gift (journal, water bottle, travel mug, etc.) when you activate your free student membership!

The 2020 Friends of the Art Museum Purchase Party—our 51st annual!—will be a little different this year. Due to Covid, the entire program will be presented online via Zoom. Yet, as in previous years, museum colleagues will offer presentations of three recent additions to the museum’s collection, and at the end we will give members of the Friends the chance to vote for one of the works to become the Friends’ gift to the museum.

The Middlebury College Museum of Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2020 to present TRANSMISSIONS, a program of six new videos considering the impact of HIV and AIDS beyond the United States.

The Museum produces 6–8 temporary exhibitions each year in addition to its display of works from the permanent collection. Temporary exhibits are often curated by Museum staff using works from the collection. Other exhibits are borrowed from other museum collections or from institutions that specialize in traveling shows. Exhibitions are carefully chosen to support both the curriculum of the College and the needs of the Museum’s education programs.
