Senior Thesis Exhibition 2014<\/i><\/strong>: Since its dedication in 1986, the museum has maintained a special relationship with the Department of Art and Visual Culture. This encompasses a commitment to supporting the work of Bates students through the Senior Thesis Exhibition<\/em>, which highlights work from the thesis projects of graduating studio art majors, of which there are 10 this year. The program emphasizes the creation of a cohesive body of work through sustained studio practice and critical inquiry.<\/p>\n

Polish Posters<\/i><\/strong>: Art and Allusion<\/i>: Produced with curatorial assistance from Madeline Smit \u201914 and art scholar Beata Niedzialkowska, this exhibition traces the evolution of Polish graphic art from the 1960s to the early 2000s, including the globally influential Polish School of Posters. Drawn from a recent gift to the museum, the works will be shown in the Synergy Space Gallery and in satellite galleries in Roger Williams and Hedge halls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
