Not only does the White Mountain region have a long history of maps and map makers, it also boasts one of the richest assortment of map designs of any mountainous region. Each map describes specific places and routes, and also tells a story of the knowledge, curiosity, purposes, pleasures, and design ideas of the people of its time. This interactive exhibit will feature maps from the far and recent past, as well as new map tools for today’s hikers, tourists, scientists, weekend explorers, and enthusiasts.

Science inspires Art.  The natural world and its systems have motivated Artist and PSU Professor Kimberly Ritchie’s art practice, leading her to explore at- risk environments, and to experiment with communicating ecologies via a mixture of media including printmaking, photography, and sculptural objects.  Her passion for bridging disciplines in her work infuses her teaching through cluster connected class projects.

The Space 2 Place Exhibition showcases Dr. Maria Sanders’ Fall 2019 sabbatical from Plymouth State University, during which time she and her 13-year-old son traveled for five months to all fifty states exploring the various ways people intentionally create important places and innovatively repurpose existing structures.

Highlighting new and recent work by PSU Art faculty members, this exhibit introduces the campus and community to the innovative explorations going on in faculty studios. The exhibit shines a light on the current and exceptional art being made by PSU Art Faculty members.
