Carol Messer is educated in the arts, but, as with so many artists, life pushed art-making into the background. Today, her art is exactly where it belongs: in the foreground. Come experience her engaging photography collection, currently on view in the gallery! Gallery hours are Tue-Sat noon-5pm

Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles and all of the men, both past and present, who have been an important part of our lives! "At more than a dozen museums of the Smithsonian Institution, a sense of fatherhood can be found among some 6,000 artworks, objects and artifacts. Sometimes the depictions are anonymous and oblique, others are intensely personal. Some artists borrow from ancient myth; others depict recognizable figures of history or of contemporary life. And while some deftly chronicle the father’s role in a changing society, others draw from their own childhood memories."

Celebrate Father’s Day with works pulled from the Smithsonian collections

Summer is almost "officially" here!
The June solstice (summer solstice) occurs tomorrow, Sunday, June 21, at 4:24 A.M. EDT. This solstice marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, receiving sunlight at the most direct angle of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite: the June solstice marks the astronomical start of winter when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky.

To revere midsummer in our own way, let’s take a look at paintings from Scandinavian artists that featured this festival as their subject.

Happy Juneteenth!
"On June 19, 1865, a full two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation mandated the abolition of slavery in the Confederacy and two months after the end of the Civil War, word reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, that they were free." "Some of the earliest visual representations of Juneteenth celebrations are photographic portraits." Enjoy this collection of images by and of Black individuals from the Harvard Art Museums collections "that explore the complexities of identity, agency, and self-fashioning, celebrating the diversity of the American experience."

In honor of Juneteenth, Harvard students and staff discuss a selection of portraits and portrait-like images by Black artists.

In her artist statement, Carol Messer writes: “These photographs stop time and capture the “now,” treasuring up for us moments of grace as we contemplate the enormous panorama of earth meeting sky…[they] celebrate the play of light on the earth, the dance of color in our fields and on trees, the dampness of rain in our ditches, the fecundity of our fields and daily, the incredible play of clouds in the skies above us.”
Stop by the gallery to see “For Those Who Love the World, Photographs by Carol Messer".
