Martin Art Gallery
Current Exhibit:
Faculty at Work
January 18 – February 25, 2012
The Martin Art Gallery proudly presents Faculty at Work a showcase of the diverse technical skills, creativity and talent of eleven artists who comprise the department of studio art at Muhlenberg College. This comprehensive exhibition includes both full-time professors as well as part-time adjunct lecturers.
Intentional effort was made to juxtapose these artists’ exploration and use of traditional media and subject—graphite drawing, figurative and abstract painting, and black-and-white photography—against contemporary applications of print-making, digital photography, sound art, and object-oriented installation. The resulting eclectic mix emphasizes and celebrates the energy and pluralism of contemporary art practice.
Welcome to Muhlenberg’s Martin Art Gallery! We engage in Muhlenberg’s vibrant cultural dialogue by bringing exhibits of all genres and media to the heart of our campus community. Our goal is to expose students, faculty, staff and the visiting public to diverse, high-quality local and international artwork within an intimate viewing space. The Martin Art Gallery is home to an extensive permanent collection more than 3,000 items, including works by Albrecht Durer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Edward S. Curtis, Salvador Dali, and Norman Rockwell. We also proudly exhibit the creations of our own student artists each May with a Senior Art Exhibition in the main Gallery space.
Muhlenberg enhances the Gallery’s year-round exhibition schedule with gallery talks, artist receptions and interdisciplinary programs. All exhibits and events are free and open to the public. The Gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday from 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. The Galleria Lobby, an adjacent exhibition space, is accessible daily from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. For more information regarding Martin Art Gallery programming, please contact Kathryn Burke at 484-664-3467.
