Join ArtTable for a tour of Mickalene Thomas: All About Love on the East Coast debut of this major international survey of Thomas’ work. Meet us in the galleries of the Barnes Foundation, where ArtTable member Nina Diefenbach, The Barnes’ Senior Vice President and Deputy Director for Advancement will provide an introduction to the exhibition. At 3:45, our 60-minute tour with Nancy Ireson, Deputy Director for Collections & Exhibitions and Gund Family Chief Curator at The Barnes, begins.

About the exhibition: Mickalene Thomas: All About Love is the first major international tour focused on the work of pioneering artist Mickalene Thomas (American, b. 1971), whose influences range from 19th-century painting to popular culture. All About Love is co-organized by the Hayward Gallery, London, and The Broad, Los Angeles, and in partnership with the Barnes and Les Abattoirs, Musée–Frac Occitanie Toulouse. The Barnes presentation of All About Love showcases a selection of vivid artworks—paintings, collage, photography, video, and site-specific installation—that celebrates Thomas’s distinctive artistic practice from the late 2000s to the present day. Her work is characterized by spectacularly staged, rhinestoned, large-scale painted tableaux and bold, intimate compositions, decisively foregrounding Black femininity in abundant realms of visual pleasure, agency, and kinship. Whether in imaginative dialogue with canonical works from the history of art or playfully reckoning with popular culture, Thomas’s exuberant portraits offer an empowered vision of beauty and desire, formulated through a sensual, Black feminist lens. The Barnes presentation is curated by independent curator and scholar Renée Mussai.

About the Artist: Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971, Camden, New Jersey) is one of today’s most influential artists. Her innovative practice has yielded instantly recognizable and widely celebrated aesthetic languages within contemporary visual culture. Thomas completed her MFA at the Yale University School of Art in 2002 and a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2003, and soon became known for her large-scale acrylic paintings of Black women in states of leisure and repose. Her confident and assured subjects are often depicted in domestic interiors from Black America, claiming the agency of womanhood while deconstructing the art historical canon. Outside of her core practice, Thomas is a Tony Award–nominated co-producer, curator, educator, and mentor to many emerging artists. Thomas’s work has become an undeniable force within the contemporary art world and an indispensable inspiration to younger generations of artists. She lives and works in New York.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of Nicole Eisenman: Fixed Crane at Madison Square Park
2024-11-19 09:30 - 10:30 | Madison Square Park, 11 Madison Ave, New York, New York, 10010, United States

This tour with Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Artistic Director and Martin Friedman Chief Curator of Madison Square Park Conservancy, explores Nicole Eisenman: Fixed Crane, the current project in the Conservancy’s field-leading program of contemporary public art.

About the exhibition: Nicole Eisenman – one of the most influential artists working today — assembles a monumental public project for Madison Square Park that destabilizes familiar heroic objects associated with human achievement. Fixed Crane features a toppled industrial crane embellished with handmade sculptural objects. The work marks a significant moment in Eisenman’s practice, expanding her explorations of the twentieth-century concept of the “readymade,” created in 1916 by Dada artist Marcel Duchamp to elevate everyday, mass-produced objects to the status of an artwork, and pushing the boundaries of her work in figuration. The project is part of the milestone twentieth anniversary of Madison Square Park Conservancy’s art program.

Parkgoers can walk around the deflated machine, a mighty symbol of construction prowess and urban growth that now rests impotently on the park’s Oval Lawn. Rather than reach valiantly into the sky, the once imperious 1969 Link-Belt crane has capsized, provocatively challenging our notions of betterment. Turned on its side, the operator’s cab reaches nine-feet high; the tracks extend up twelve feet, and the boom stretches ninety feet. The artist upends an Edenic refuge from the city by placing a rusted relic of presumed advancement center stage. Eisenman questions cycles of progress in public space: how powerful cranes build skyscrapers–and, lately, “supertalls”–like those near Madison Square Park. In recent months, a towering wisp of an 860-foot-high structure has risen to eclipse views of the Empire State Building from in and around the park. Eisenman critiques New York City’s impulse for ever higher ascension, which advances some lives and compromises others, and alludes to how the human condition may be endangered by ongoing urban construction.

At the apex of the cab is a diminutive explorer. The figure is a symbol of surrender or of occupation. Sculptural bandages placed on the crane’s boom are there to heal the fallen apparatus. A large foot wearing a Birkenstock sandal adjacent to the engine, is footloose no longer, an unexpected culprit as the kicker who capsized the crane. Visible through a small portal is a tableau of a solitary seated female figure, draped in a shawl, and bathed in the soft light of a chandelier. She sits before a small cast-iron stove. She is now a vision (or a squatter), a glowing soul who recently found a haven for a wiener roast, skewering a sausage with a stick. The crane’s original counterweight and interior mechanisms become benches for seating as the artist daylights what was once hidden in the machine’s interior. Viewers can look at the fallen crane–once a commanding, necessary force for building, but now in stasis.

*CANCELED* San Francisco, CA | Curator-Led Tour of Mary Cassatt at Work at the de Young Museum with Emily Beeny

Join ArtTable for a tour of Mary Cassatt at Work with Emily Beeny, PhD, Curator in Charge of European Paintings at the de Young Museum. The largest exhibition of Cassatt’s work in the US in decades, Mary Cassatt at Work was organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the support of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

About the exhibition: Too often dismissed as a sentimental painter of mothers and children, Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) was in fact a modernist pioneer. Her paintings, pastels, and prints are characterized by restless experimentation and change. Cassatt was the only American to join the French Impressionists, first exhibiting with the group at Degas’s invitation in 1879, and quickly emerged as a key member of the movement. Alongside scenes of women at the opera, visiting friends, and taking tea, Cassatt produced many images of “women’s work” — knitting and needlepoint, bathing children, and nursing infants. These images suggest parallels between the work of art making and the work of caregiving. The exhibition calls attention to the artist’s own processes of making — how she used her brush, etching needle, pastel stick, and even fingertips to create radical art under the cover of “feminine” subject matter.

Accessibility note: Wheelchairs and lightweight portable stools are available from Coat Check or the Admissions counter on a first come, first-served basis. A Photo ID must be provided to ensure items are returned prior to leaving the museum.

*Registration for this event is at capacity. To join the waitlist, please click Register Here.*

To gather our members and kick off a very busy arts week, we will gather in West Palm Beach for visits to two private collections.

ArtTable will be one of the first to experience The Bunker Artspace, the new home of the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, located in a historic Art Deco building in downtown West Palm Beach. Featured work includes over three hundred leading modern and contemporary artists, from Lynda Benglis, Robert Mapplethorpe, Betye Saar, Mickalene Thomas, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Cy Twombly. Many of these works entered the DeWoody Collection early in an artist’s career, a testament to DeWoody’s vision as a collector and curator. The Collection has been the subject of exhibitions at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach and the Parrish Museum in Southampton, among others. Our guide will take us through the space, highlighting stories about the history of the collection.

After the tour, ArtTable member Eileen Ekstract invites us to her home (fifteen minutes from The Bunker Artspace) for a cocktail reception. We will also be treated to a viewing of Eileen’s private collection, featuring works by Alison Zuckerman, vanessa german, Jessie Makinson, and Lisa Roy.

From Purchase to Patronage: Stewarding Your Growing Collection

With generous support from Private Client Select, SRI Fine Art Services, and Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, ArtTable presents an engaging discussion of the roles of steward and patron that the collector assumes upon purchasing a work of art. This second program in ArtTable’s Art Law Series, appropriate for new and seasoned collectors alike, covers multiple dimensions of stewardship each collector must consider to ensure the long-term integrity and care of works of art. Meticulous planning for insurance, shipping, and protection from natural disasters is paramount to maintaining the physical safety of the collection, but the collector’s actions following the sale—ascertaining holding periods, loaning works to museums, and exploring the resale market—must also be conducted diligently, with the sustainability of the artist’s career in mind. This panel brings together experts from the insurance, shipping, legal, and curatorial fields to cover collectors’ contractual, financial, and ethical responsibilities to the artists they work with, setting up all participants for success.

Speakers include:

Barbara Chamberlain, Director, Art Services, Private Client Select

Amani Lewis, Artist and Co-Founder, Artists First Collective

Shamim Momin, Curator; former Director of Curatorial Affairs, Henry Art Gallery; and co-founder, LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division)

Melissa Osterwind, President, SRI Fine Art Services

Moderator: Samantha Anderson, Attorney, Art and Museum Law, Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP

Program Itinerary:

4:00–5:00 PM: Panel Discussion, Untitled Art Podcast Lounge

5:00 PM Onward: Networking Reception, Untitled Art VIP Lounge

Join us on the beach as the sun sets, and connect with friends and colleagues between stops on your busy Miami calendar! Please note that seating is limited for the panel discussion – we encourage you to arrive early to secure your seat.

Registration for this program includes a pass to Untitled Art Miami Beach.

Dallas, TX | MeetAT at Cris Worley Fine Arts
2024-12-11 17:30 - 19:00 | Cris Worley Fine Arts, 1845 E Levee St #110, Dallas, Texas, 75207
You’re invited to our next MeetAT networking event on December 11 in Dallas, Texas, graciously hosted by Cris Worley, Owner and Director of Cris Worley Fine Arts. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and prospective members.

Cris Worley Fine Arts is a contemporary art gallery established in 2010 in Dallas, TX. Cris Worley Fine Arts is dedicated to promoting innovative work by contemporary artists at various stages of their careers. The gallery’s dynamic approach to fostering artistic growth includes the presentation of compelling exhibitions, and collaborations with public institutions, professional art organizations, and collectors, both locally and internationally.

For over two decades, Cris Worley has contributed to national art dialogues as a gallery director participating in art fairs, as a guest juror for numerous exhibitions, and as an esteemed art advisor. As a charter member of the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas, Cris Worley has played a vital role in the vigorous growth of the Dallas arts community, encouraging the evolution of contemporary art collections.

For this event, the gallery will feature present their eighth solo exhibition of oil paintings by Paul Manes. The exhibition entitled, Into the Woods, opens Saturday, November 16, and will be on view through December 28. Whether it be the differing color palettes of the landscape images or the wall of rain or the bowls falling upon one another, Manes’ new works seem to be a random smattering of subjects across his oeuvre. Yet, in this new show, the artist invites us to see how his subject matter has been affected through his own experiences.Manes’ new work reflects his own physical move from New York City to Colorado a decade ago. Manes traded the concrete jungle for a sky of stars, and that location shift has changed his subject matter. In this new show, Manes has moved from the sky to the landscape, where he interacts with different elements and environments that he sees every day. Many of the works depicted reflect images of meadows and plants, and Manes’ large canvases and use of perspective allow for us all to step into this world he lives in daily. Every new painting acts as a window into another world – one where we get to see landscapes through the lens of the artist. Suddenly, we are alongside Manes on his motorcycle ride from home to the studio through the Colorado mountains.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of 'Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde' at the NYU Grey Art Museum

*This program has reached capacity. To join the waitlist, please cick “Register” below. An ArtTable staff member will contact you if a space becomes available.*

Join ArtTable for our first event of 2025! Join us at NYU’s Grey Art Museum for a tour of Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde with Lynne Gumpert, Director of the Grey and co-curator of the exhibition. This tour covers a pivotal chapter in the history of modern art: the career of Berthe Weill, who broke boundaries as the first woman in her profession and as the dealer who recognized and cultivated the talents of many of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Make Way for Berthe Weil is the second exhibition presented in the Grey Art Museum’s new and expanded home on Cooper Square, where NYU’s campus museum moved in 2024 after nearly fifty years as the Grey Art Gallery on Washington Square East.

About the Exhibition: Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde surveys the groundbreaking career of the first woman modern art dealer. Berthe Weill (1865–1951) championed many fledgling masters of modern art early on—such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Amedeo Modigliani—as well as numerous others who did not achieve wide acclaim. Yet her role in early 20th century modernism has been omitted from most historical accounts.

The exhibition will feature some 110 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture—many of which were shown at her gallery during the first four decades of the 20th century. The exhibition also includes archival documents—such as letters, exhibition catalogs, photographs, and journals—that reveal her deep relationships with a range of artists. Examining Weill’s contributions to the history of modernism as a gallerist, a passionate advocate of contemporary art, and a Jewish woman, it brings to light the remarkable achievements of a singular figure who overcame sexism, antisemitism, and economic struggles in her quest to promote emerging artists.

Co-organized by NYU’s Grey Art Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Musée de l’Orangerie, the exhibition’s curatorial team includes Grey Director Lynn Gumpert, Marianne Le Morvan, founder of the Berthe Weill Archives in Paris, Anne Grace, curator of modern art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and Sophie Eloy, collections administrator and coordinator of the Contrepoints installations at the Musée de l’Orangerie. The exhibition will tour to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts May 10–September 7, 2025, and the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris October 8, 2025–January 25, 2026.

Visitor Policies and Accessibility: Please note that large bags and backpacks must be checked in a secure locker, and food & drink (including water bottles) are not permitted. The Grey is fully walker- and wheelchair-accessible, and several portable stools are available to borrow for use within the galleries.

New York, NY | Author Talk: 'Mothers of Invention: The Feminist Roots of Contemporary Art'
2025-01-29 18:00 - 20:00 | Home of Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz, Address to be shared with registrants, Midtown Manhattan, New York
Join ArtTable for an Author Talk exploring Mothers of Invention: The Feminist Roots of Contemporary Art (Lund Humphries, 2024), written by Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal, and Sue Scott. This talk will be generously hosted in the home of Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz, a founding Board member of ArtTable.

This program will begin with light refreshments and conversation, with the Author Talk beginning at 6:30 PM. Seating will be provided.

About the book: Offering a radical rewriting of the history of contemporary art from a feminist perspective, four distinguished authors explore the lineages of performance, abstraction, craft and ecofeminism in ways that reveal the debt these important genres owe to the work of pioneering women artists. Tracing these influences over time, Mothers of Invention underscores the enormous impact of feminist ideas on the work of contemporary artists of all genders.

The painters, sculptors and performance artists featured here have shaped ideas now dominating the art world: the vulnerability of the environment, the rise of activist art, the challenge to the reign of high technology (including digital culture), and the development of a new language of abstraction. Having demolished the linear narrative of modernism, the privileging of a white male ethnocentric vision, the division of high and low art and the separation of art from larger social issues, feminist artists laid the groundwork for the globalised, multi-media, postmodern art world of today.

Illustrated with a spread of work from the last sixty years (and including contextual discussion of earlier practitioners), this book makes a compelling case for placing feminist art and artists at the heart of contemporary art.

Join ArtTable for an exclusive tour of Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion at the Skirball Cultural Center with Chief Curator Cate Thurston. Organized by the Fashion & Lace Museum in Brussels, where von Furstenberg was born, the exhibition uncovers the fascinating life story of a woman whose business transformed the world of fashion – and whose designs have empowered and celebrated the women who wear them. Program registration includes admission to the Skirball, with time to explore the galleries until the Center closes at 5:00 pm.

About the exhibition: Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion explores the remarkable life and work of fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. This expansive, multidisciplinary exhibition, enriched by a lavishly illustrated catalogue featuring interviews and scholarly essays, invites visitors to discover the extraordinary features of von Furstenberg’s career, from the 1970s to the present day.

Organized in four thematic sections, Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion includes a selection of over sixty pieces drawn from the DVF archives along with ephemera, fabric swatches, media pieces, and information on her philanthropic work. The Skirball’s presentation of this exhibition will also include new images and audio that shed light on von Furstenberg’s personal biography as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and a war refugee, offering additional perspective on the factors that shaped her life and work. Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion was organized by the Fashion & Lace Museum in von Furstenberg’s native city of Brussels, Belgium.

New York, NY | MeetAT at Fountain House Gallery & Studio
2025-03-13 17:30 - 19:00 | Fountain House Gallery & Studio, 702 9th Ave, New York, New York, 10019, United States
You’re invited to our next NY MeetAT networking event on March 13, graciously hosted by Rachel Weisman, Gallery Director of Fountain House Gallery & Studio. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and new connections.

Fountain House Gallery and Studio supports the careers and creative visions of contemporary artists living with mental illness. Founded by Fountain House in 2000 as a not-for-profit exhibition space for its member artists living and working with mental illness, the Gallery sells original artworks and collaborates with a wide network of artists, curators, and cultural institutions. Embracing artists who are emerging or established, trained or self-taught, Fountain House Gallery cultivates artistic growth, makes a vital contribution to the New York arts community, and challenges the stigma surrounding mental illness.

For this event, the gallery will present Meticulous Markings which features 9 artists who utilize a unique method of mark-making in their work. All works intrigue and invite the viewer to look more closely at the images, to see something more. This fastidious attention to detail by the artist will hopefully transfer to the viewer and allow them time to focus. Everyone’s life is often busy, and people rush about, but we hope this exhibition will allow audiences to pause, reflect, and find hidden things in the art, to bring about a greater sense of well-being.

New York, NY | Author Talk: "The Blonde with the Balls: An Insider's View of The Art World" with Patricia Hamilton
2025-03-18 18:00 - 20:00 | Bortolami Gallery, 39 Walker St, New York, New York, 10013, United States
ArtTable is thrilled to present a book talk with trailblazing gallerist Patricia Hamilton, a longtime member of the ArtTable community, at Bortolami in Tribeca. Her memoir, The Blonde with the Balls: An Insider’s View of the Art World, recounts stories that only a figure as inimitable as Hamilton could have collected in a voice that is singularly her own. We’ll follow her riveting recollections of life and work as one of the few women and self-made professionals who emerged onto the scene fifty years ago – and transformed it irrevocably. From the Whitney Museum and Art in America to her eponymous Hamilton Gallery – where she championed Louise Bourgeois, Grace Hartigan, Deborah Remington, Joan Snyder, and many other artists – Hamilton has cut a unique path and shares a perspective no one else has on the art world. Jessica L. Porter, Lila Harnett Executive Director of ArtTable, will moderate the discussion.

Please note that registration for this event does not include a copy of the book. Books will be available at the gallery for purchase and signing.

Seating will be available during this event. Please note that Bortolami’s main entrance is a two-step entrance from the street; the elevator-accessible entrance is directly to the left of the steps. The third-floor event space is primarily accessed by stairs, but there is an onsite elevator that can be used as needed.

About the Author

Patricia Hamilton, a founding member of ArtTable, has been involved in the art world for fifty years: first as assistant to Robert Doty at the Whitney Museum, then as Senior Editor of Art in America. Finally, she found her calling as a dealer and was Curator of Exhibitions at the Andrew Crispo Gallery. At age 26, she opened her own gallery on 57th Street, the Hamilton Gallery of Contemporary Art. This was 1977, and 10% of women were dealers, and most had family money. She raised all the money to open and showed 60-70% women. She wanted to show mid-career artists who had been ignored by the world. What better reason to show women? She showed Louise Bourgeois (for the first time in a commercial gallery in 15 years), Grace Hartigan, Deborah Remington, and Joan Snyder. Six of the artists have attained blue-chip status. Aside from Louise, Deborah, and Joan, she would include Ron Gorchov, Sam Gilliam, and Robert Colescott. Then, due to a family tragedy, she closed in 1984 and became an artist’s agent. She rented pop-up spaces and showed artists in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In 1990, she moved to Los Angeles before it was fashionable. She became the first director of the Salander-O’Reilly Gallery and then went off on her own, selling art to Hollywood collectors. Today, she lives in Whitley Heights in Los Angeles with her two dogs and is peaceful and content.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years" at NYU's Grey Art Museum
2025-04-04 16:00 - 17:00 | NYU Grey Art Museum, 18 Cooper Square, New York, New York, 10003
Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years at the Grey Art Museum at New York University, led by exhibition co-curators Nancy Princenthal and Dr. Vesela Sretenović.

In 1996, artist and philanthropist Susan Unterberg founded the Anonymous Was A Woman (AWAW) award, making a simple, yet radical commitment to redress the lack of institutional support for women visual artists over the age of 40. She sought to provide mid-career artists with the means to procure workspace, art supplies, childcare, or whatever else they needed to further their artistic careers. For the past two and a half decades, AWAW has provided unrestricted grants of $25,000 to ten or more artists each year.

Showcasing some 50 artworks by 41 of the 251 award recipients from AWAW’s first 25 years (1996 through 2020), this exhibition explores several themes surrounding anonymity and, ultimately, celebrates the transformative impact women artists have made on contemporary art since the award’s founding. With each year represented by at least one artist, the exhibition includes works created within a few years of their grant, demonstrating the significance of the award to the artist’s growth. The range of artists featured in the exhibition demonstrates the demographic and aesthetic diversity of past awardees. All 251 artists are represented in a publication accompanying the exhibition, which also includes critical essays about the awardees by Princenthal, Sretenović, and other women scholars.

New York, NY | ArtTable’s Art Law Series: Building and Managing a Fine Art Collection
2025-05-09 09:00 - 11:00 | Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, 1133 6th Ave 24th Floor, New York, New York, 10036, United States
Join us for the third installment of ArtTable’s Art Law Series, produced in partnership with Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP. In this conversation, we will explore the various roles and responsibilities that are involved when building and managing an art collection. Coinciding with the Spring art fair season in New York, a city whose contemporary art scene is constantly evolving, this panel will focus on the professionals who help collectors navigate the collection- building and management process. What resources are available to guide collectors when purchasing artworks? How should a collector care for the art once it is in their collection? What are the responsibilities when owning fine art that new collectors might not be aware of? We will hear from several arts professionals involved at the different stages of collection-building, from the initial purchase to long-time care and conservation.

This conversation will build on topics explored in the first two conversations in this series: Responsible Transacting in the Art Market (held at Patterson Belknap’s New York office in April 2024) and From Purchase to Patronage: Stewarding Your Growing Collection (hosted at Untitled Art Miami Beach in December 2024, with additional support from Private Client Select and SRI Fine Art Services). If you missed us in Miami Beach, you can enjoy our December conversation courtesy of the Untitled Art Fairs Podcast!

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets" at the American Folk Art Museum
2025-05-13 14:00 - 15:00 | American Folk Art Museum, 2 Lincoln Square, NY, United States
Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets at the American Folk Art Museum, led by Valérie Rousseau, PhD, Curatorial Chair and Senior Curator of 20th-Century & Contemporary Art.

Featuring 42 textile works and oil paintings, Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets is the first comprehensive survey of Santos Reinbolt’s art ever presented and marks the first-ever solo museum exhibition for the artist organized outside her native Brazil. Best known for her large-scale embroideries made from hundreds of vibrant colored threads, which the artist referred to as quadros de lã (“wool paintings”), the exhibition represents more than half of all known works by the artist and examines the artist’s work through a variety of lenses, including gender, race, and socio-economic dynamics.

A Head Full of Planets explores the context in which Santos Reinbolt’s artistic practice crystallized in the early 1950s, after she became a live-in cook for the architect Lota de Macedo Soares and her partner, the American poet Elizabeth Bishop, at their home in Petrópolis, a mountain getaway favored by Brazilian high society. It was not until the mid-1960s, while working in another household, that she began to dedicate herself to embroidery and would begin creating many of the works for which she is best known today.

The American Folk Art Museum is fully accessible. Gallery stools and wheelchairs are available upon request, and an access ramp is available to enter the upper gallery if needed. If you require additional accommodations, please email us at programs@arttable.org.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe" with Alexandra Schwartz
2025-05-20 17:00 - 18:00 | Museum of Arts & Design, 2 Columbus Circle, New York City, NY, 10019, United States
Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe at the Museum of Arts & Design, led by Alexandra Schwartz, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design.

The first retrospective of the artist’s two decades of world-building installations, the exhibition showcases Woolfalk’s ambitious fictional narrative of an imagined race of women known as “Empathics.” Woolfalk has created for the Empathics’ their own distinctive visual imagery, symbolism, and folklore, which reflect her investigations of African, African American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling. In this parable told through garment-based sculptures, video, paintings, works on paper, and performances, cultures mix, clash, and are ultimately transformed through shared understanding.

Boston, MA | MeetAT at Gallery NAGA
2025-05-22 17:30 - 19:00 | Gallery NAGA, 67 Newbury St, Boston, Massachusetts, 02116, United States
You’re invited to our next Boston MeetAT networking event on May 22, graciously hosted by Meg White, Director of Gallery NAGA. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and new connections.

Located within the Church of the Covenant in Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood, Gallery NAGA (formerly Newbury Associated Guild of Artists) was founded in 1977, when a group of artists placed their work on display in what used to be the chapel of the church.

As we approach our 50th year, we continue NAGA’s legacy as an inclusive and contemplative sanctuary for art and dialogue, supporting both emerging and established artists in the New England area and beyond.

While our primary focus is painting, we also represent exceptional contemporary photographers, printmakers, and sculptors. We specialize in studio furniture, presenting many of the premier makers of unique and limited edition furniture in the country.

For this event, Gallery NAGA is pleased to present our fourth major solo exhibition of paintings by Nicole Chesney.

Nicole Chesney: New Paintings is on exhibition from May 2 to 31.

Nicole Chesney’s abstract paintings are oil paint on acid-etched and mirrored glass. This exhibition continues Chesney’s endless wondering with notions of sky and water and investigations of perception.

Glass, with all its transformative qualities, is a surface onto which Nicole Chesney can add, subtract, and move oil paint around; colors are reflected in a way that canvas or paper doesn’t allow for. Seen from one angle, her painting surfaces are matte and brushy, seen from another angle, they are reflective and elusive.

Chesney’s work is exhibited and collected internationally including the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, New Britain Museum of American Art, Toledo Museum of Art, Newport Art Museum, RISD Museum, Palm Springs Art Museum, Corning Museum of Glass and many more.

Philadelphia, PA | MeetAT at Arthur Ross Gallery
2025-05-30 17:30 - 19:00 | The Arthur Ross Gallery, 220 S 34th St (In the Fisher Fine Arts Library), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19104
You’re invited to a Philadelphia MeetAT networking event on May 30, graciously hosted by Emily Zimmerman, Director of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs at Arthur Ross Gallery. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and new connections.

The Arthur Ross Gallery has a mission is to Engage, Educate, and Inspire. The Arthur Ross Gallery is a resource for the entire University community, across schools and departments, as well as the local community and scholars around the world. Located at the heart of the University of Pennsylvania, the Arthur Ross Gallery is an intimate exhibition space that presents thought-provoking exhibitions of art across cultures, media and time. Curators, scholars, artists, and Penn students present original research through our exhibitions, symposia, and curatorial seminars. Exhibition-related programs include films, music, performances, spoken word, talks, and tours.

Housed in the historic Fisher Fine Arts Library building on the main campus of one of the world’s great research universities, the Arthur Ross Gallery serves both the University and the Philadelphia communities. The Gallery is committed to advancing the teaching and research missions of the University through integrating knowledge across disciplines, innovation, and providing access through local, national, and global engagement.

The Gallery is free and open to the public.

For this event, Arthur Ross Gallery is pleased to present Scattered Earth, Sounded Depth: Penn Fine Arts MFA Thesis Exhibition, featuring the work of Eissa Attar and Alvin Luong.

Through installation, moving image, and printmaking, Attar and Luong offer poetic reflections on landscapes and cultural histories. Their works explore geography as a site of cultural memory and migration while critically examining documentary practices and modes of display.

Eissa Attar’s practice investigates migration, belonging, and entropy through photography and moving image works. In Extract You Again, a series of sand drawings on acetate layered over images of consumer products and waste, Attar reflects on cycles of consumption and erasure in Saudi Arabia’s evolving landscape.

Alvin Luong’s multichannel video installation, Corals of Bidong, connects the history of Malaysia’s Bidong Island—once a refugee camp following the Vietnam War—to its present-day use as a coral research facility and a dubious coral wildlife trade. Developed over two years of intensive research, the work offers a profound meditation on human and natural migration. Through video, sculpture, and installation, Luong examines narratives of survival and the enduring social and environmental impacts of historical events.

Curated by Emily Zimmerman, Director of Exhibitions at the Arthur Ross Gallery, this exhibition marks the debut of the MFA Thesis Exhibition at the Arthur Ross Gallery.

New York, NY | After Hours Reception and Tour of "Amy Sherald: American Sublime" at the Whitney Museum
2025-06-04 18:15 - 20:30 | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
ArtTable invites you to a special evening at the Whitney Museum of American Art!

Join us for an after hours reception in the Whitney’s Trustee Room, which features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson and the High Line. The reception will include wine and light bites.

After the reception, join us for a guided tour of Amy Sherald: American Sublime and Louise Nevelson’s Collection View.

Amy Sherald is a storyteller. She creates precisely crafted narratives of American life, selecting, styling, and photographing her sitters as the foundation for her nuanced paintings. Thus, while Sherald (b. 1973; Columbus, Georgia) bases her works on specific people, they are more than traditional portraits. They center everyday Black Americans, compelling in their individuality and extraordinary in their ordinariness, inviting viewers to step into Sherald’s imagined worlds. In this exhibition, paintings of such ordinary Americans join her iconic portraits of First Lady Michelle Obama and, heartbreakingly, Breonna Taylor, to produce a resonant ode to the multiplicity and complexity of American identity.

Louis Nevelson had a long and deep relationship with the Whitney Museum, which organized her first retrospective in 1967. Today the Museum is one of the largest repositories of her work, with over ninety sculptures, drawings, and prints in the collection, many of them gifts of the artist. The works gathered in this exhibition, which span four decades, offer a special opportunity to shine a light on this self-proclaimed “architect of shadows.”
