Upcoming Exhibitions

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.

This exhibition was originally scheduled to open in 2020, but has been postponed due to COVID-19 and will open in Spring 2021. 

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.
