Past Exhibitions

Celebrating artistic achievements by area youth.

Highlighting the strength, energy, passion, and technical skill of our PSU art students, this annual exhibition features the best efforts of students from all levels of art making. Through exploration and experimentation inside and outside the classroom, this exhibition includes a wide variety of media from drawing, painting, photography, and video to graphic design, sculpture, and mixed media.

Cluster project exhibit. Co-curated by Rachelle Lyons.

What is personhood? How is identity constructed and how does it travel across time and space and memory? What are the echoes of a life? How are we all connected? Artists from multiple genres and media will share found objects and archival materials from a common source, as well as new individual and collaborative work created around/in response to those objects and materials. This collaborative exhibit features four PSU faculty members who are practicing artists.

Highlighting new and recent work by Plymouth State University 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.

Celebrating the local artist’s life with a selection of the meditative, and vibrant paintings by Christopher Kressy (1936-2016). A color-filled feast that will enrich and inspire. An active faculty member at PSC/PSU from 1968 to his retirement in 1998, Kressy coordinated the painting program, served as department chair and was instrumental in the creation of the BFA studio degree.

Who are the creative workers who enrich our community? How do the arts and creative workers impact local businesses and the region’s economy? How could a collaboration between the arts and businesses help the future of the Plymouth region? This participatory exhibition invites input and ideas that can be woven into a larger plan for the region.

Trees define the state of New Hampshire. What was once a great old growth forest fueled the industrial revolution, and has now regrown to one of the most beautiful forests in the world. New Hampshire is also home to one of the largest collections of covered bridges. Made of the very forests they are nestled within. These relics of a past era stand as a testament to the builders, and the forests from which they are created. Photography Through The Trees illustrates both the covered bridges, and the White Mountain National Forest.
