Architectural Ghosts at Mead Art Museum

in Amherst, Massachusetts through June 25

The Mead Art Museum presents Architectural Ghosts, an exhibition that highlights the architectural drawings, sculptures and subjects in the museum's collection. From 8th century Assyrian reliefs to 20th century Yoruba and Dogon doors, everything in this show has been "separated from their original architectural surroundings and cultural moments," bringing a "haunted" and "ghostly" sense to these works of art. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. The Mead Art Museum is located at 41 Quadrangle Drive, Amherst, MA. For more information, please visit here.

¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now at Hood Museum of Art

in Hanover, New Hampshire, February 4 to June 11

The Hood Museum of Art presents ¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now, an exhibition that spotlights Chicano artists throughout the decades. This exhibit does more than "reflect social change," it "revise notions of Chicanx identity" and spurs political activism by analyzing the role of these artists in 20th century social movements. The museum is open Thursday to Friday, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., Wednesday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Saturday, 1 - 5 p.m. The Hood Museum of Art is located at 6 East Wheelock Street, Hanover, NH.

The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery presents Bringing the Holy Land Home: The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece, which focuses on the famed Chertsy Combat Tiles, a series of tiles that was created around 1250 for the Chertsey Abbey in England. This exhibit includes artwork on loan from the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The tiles are put into context alongside Islamic and Byzantine artwork that lends a wider view to the historical works. The gallery is open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Saturday, 12 - 5 p.m. The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery is located at 1 College Street, Worcester, MA. For more information, please visit here.
