This exciting exhibition will showcase contemporary prints, drawings, and photographs by New England artists. The works on display—drawings, watercolors, linocuts, lithographs, hand-toned silver gelatin prints, digital photographs, and more—will reflect artistic interpretations of New England’s built and natural environment.
Attendees are invited to view the gallery beginning at 5:30 pm, after which the Athenæum’s Curator of Prints & Photographs, Catharina Slautterback, will make brief remarks. Wine and cheese will be served.
Registration is not required.

The Athenæum's five galleried floors overlook the peaceful Granary Burying Ground, and, as Gamaliel Bradford wrote in 1931, "it is safe to say that [no library] anywhere has more an atmosphere of its own, that none is more conducive to intellectual aspiration and spiritual peace." The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
