Art Purposes: Object Lessons for the Liberal Arts takes its inspiration from the 125th anniversary of the Museum's Walker Art Building. This exhibition provides a wonderful opportunity to peruse Bowdoin's remarkable legacy and recent history of collecting! Come celebrate with us when the Museum hosts a lively public panel of art-world luminaries with a reception to follow.
We look forward to seeing you at the Museum!

Material Resources: Intersections of Art and the Environment
Closing June 2, 2019
This exhibition explores the intersections of art and the environment with works drawn from the Museum's permanent collection. Featuring objects from antiquity to today, Material Resource: Intersections of Art and the Environment examines artists' dependence on Earth's material resources, while presenting art as an integral "material" resources in the study of the environment.
This exhibition explores the personal vision of iconic artists of the 1950s and 1960s from Norman Lewis and Franz Kline to Robert Frank and Mimi Gross. Their work confounds, delights, and changes how we look at the world.
Stuart Denenberg '64 has had a long and impressive career in the art world and is now the owner of Denenberg Fine Arts in West Hollywood, California. Brennan Clark '20 had an opportunity to speak with Stuart recently and came away inspired.
