Stroll through the Phillips Museum of Art this fall, and you might just stumble upon a writing workshop, music performance, academic class or yoga and meditation session. 

鈥淲e really wanted this semester to be a place of reflection and relaxation in the galleries,鈥� said  Lindsay Marino, museum director.

As she spoke, yogis rolled out mats in the Dana Gallery amid artist Anne Marchand鈥檚 large canvases covered in nebulous poured paint and unexpected materials such as tree bark, sand and silks. 

鈥淚 think Marchand's paintings reflect the multidisciplinary instruction that we strive for at F&M and within the museum,鈥� Marino said.

Professors have already leveraged the Phillips across all academic disciplines. Recently, an epidemiology class led by Heather Hoffman, adjunct assistant professor of public health, visited the Gibson Gallery photography exhibit to discuss the intersection between art and public health. 

鈥淲e discussed the benefits of close looking, empathy and bias while reflecting on public health issues depicted in certain photographs,鈥� Marino said. 

The fall exhibitions at the Phillips Museum of Art opened Sept. 3 and are on display through Dec. 6. The museum鈥檚 hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

The data, templates and yarn are supplied by , an online shop created to promote climate activism in the form of fiber art. 

Shape of Space: Abstractions by Anne Marchand

Dana Gallery

The Hubble telescope鈥檚 photographs of galaxies and nebulae have been a source of inspiration for artist Anna Marchand. To her, these images suggest a connection between deep space and the inner space of the human body. Large-scale paintings allow for experimenting freely with poured paint and tools like combs and scrapers. Through the incorporation of additional materials in her paintings such as tree barks, glass beads, sand and silks, Marchand connects the work to both nature and culture. 

Personal Perspective: Landscapes and the Power of Place

Rothman Gallery

Featuring landscapes from the Phillips Museum鈥檚 permanent collection, Personal Perspective invites visitors to look at works and focus on their own interpretation. Each work is displayed alongside a series of prompts to encourage self-inquiry: What do you see in these paintings? Have you seen similar landscapes or buildings in this region? What do you think the title of this work means?

Gibson Gallery
