Studio Art

Please join us in celebrating the fantastic work of all Studio Art and Architecture students in Fall 2024 classes.  Small bites and refreshments will be served.

The Johnson Memorial Building’s Exhibition Gallery presents recent works by painter Rebecca Kinkead and poems by Ben Humphries. The pairing of the paintings and poems represents a dialogue between the artists and their reflections/responses to human impacts on the natural habitats of animals and the Earth’s climate.  

Free and open to the public. Opening reception on October 17th from 5-7PM in the Johnson Memorial Building’s mezzanine and exhibition gallery. 

Jessica Dickinson will discuss the development of her experimental studio practice, along with recent exhibitions. Deeply invested in abstraction as a way to understand sensations of time and change in lived experience, her work is primarily situated in painting and encompasses drawing, writing, and installations. Exploring durational shifts in light, matter, and perception, she works to offer space for the labor and process of paying attention. Dickinson is based in Brooklyn, NY and has exhibited widely, including the Solomon R.

The Studio Art Department’s Senior Studio Thesis class will present their capstone exhibition from Friday May 10th until Friday May 24th. The exhibition will be held in the newly renovated Johnson Memorial Building’s Central Atrium and the restored Johnson Exhibition Gallery.
The students will host an opening reception on Friday, May,10th from 5PM-7PM.
The event is open and free to the public.

Co-Sponsored by The Cameron Visiting Artist Fund and The Johnson Endowment Fund.

Zach Nader will discuss his artistic practice, sharing the ways in which his recent image-based experiments destabilize photographs, using them as locating devices that shape our understanding of the way images function in the world. Nader is a Brooklyn-based artist investigating the feedback loop between images and our world, altering and interrupting photographic information while compressing the distinctions between physical and virtual mark-making.

Objects of Wonder
In the upcoming exhibition Objects of Wonder, students, faculty, staff, and alumni offer an intersection of research, art, history, and academia. These objects are curious snapshots-sneak peeks at the varied interests and endeavors present across this campus. Free and open to the public. Johnson Exhibition Gallery, Johnson Memorial Building room 208.

Robbie Seltzer ‘15 will give a presentation on “Building the Creative Studio”. Since graduating from Middlebury with a Studio Art degree, Robbie has designed and built creative spaces ranging from an apartment art gallery to a community design center.

As artists and designers, we use studios to think, make, convene, display, and so much more. Studios are one of our most important tools! By learning the skills to build out our own studios, we can make better work.
