offering an extraordinary exhibit called Children’s Pleasures: American Celebrations of Childhood
that was guest curated by Donna Barnes, a faculty member in the school of Education,
Health, and Human Services. Her concept was so marvelous and very inventive and creative
to thematically group works by artists of America over two hundred years span tracing
childhood pleasures and joyful experiences and how artists have depicted those experiences
from 1836 to 2008 and how children’s pleasures have somewhat stayed the same but also how
we see a shift and we see that through the artist’s eyes and that’s been just a marvelous
experience. In addition, we currently have, in the David Filderman Gallery, our exhibit
Something’s A Foot, and we’ve made a commitment to really highlight different aspects of the
current collection for the campus. And this takes works that are literally no larger than
twelve inches by twelve inches in any direction. Very eclectic, from different cultures and
time periods to, again, works on paper, photographs, and little sculptures that truly highlight
charming aspects of the collection, and one of the features of the exhibit, which is unique
is, also, that we will be changing out some of the works through the months of the exhibit,
so each time a visitor comes, they might see something different. As we look to the future,
we have a lot of planning that we’re involved in right now with exhibits for the coming
year and years beyond, actually. But we’re very excited about our engagement with the
75th anniversary that’s coming up for Hofstra. And starting in the fall, in early September,
we’ll be opening an exhibit in the Emily Lowe Gallery that’s Acquired Riches: Highlights
from our Permanent Collection, and these are going to be works that respond to gifts that
have been donated to the museum through the years by alumni, trustees, wonderful art collectors
that have so grown the collection in wonderful ways, and we’ll be focusing on what it means
to collect and how this collection, which started with the birth of the university,
has grown so significantly through the years, we now have 4,700 objects in the collection.
In addition, we’ll be mounting two exhibits during the year in our David Filderman Gallery.
The first will also open in September and it’s 75 years through 75 stories, and it’s
guest curated by Gerry Solomon who’s Assistant Dean for Archives and Special Collections
at the university and she’s picking not only photographs that showcase different major
aspects of our history of the university, but also there’s some very interesting memorabilia
and objects that have been acquired that speak to 75 years of growth and advancement of the
university. Subsequent to that, we’ll be having our very first juried alumni exhibition.
We’re very excited about this, we’ve been partnering with the university relations and
alumni relations and the development department to reach out to, as well as the Fine Arts
Department, to reach out to alumni who are very gifted, talented artists who have continued
with their careers through the years and would like to submit works that will, as I’ve
said, been juried by Ellen Sragow who is the founder of the Sragow Gallery in the city
and a graduate of Hofstra and Dan Debine who’s a current member of the Fine Art faculty,
and Karen Albert, our Assistant Director of Exhibitions and Collections and these works
will be on view through May, through the end of May. We’ll be having a major reception,
a catalog to highlight the works of these individuals and pay tribute to the gifted,
talented individuals who have come through Hofstra’s doors through the years. So we’re
very pleased with that. And the museum is always seeking new ways to partner with our
campus and with the faculty students and administrators and staff to better provide a means of addressing
very interesting issues through the works on view.
