Sheila Pepe: When & Where We Rest
2027-02-09 12:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
Everyone rests in one way or another. But what does rest look and feel like—inside each of us and to the outside world around us? Must we steal moments to be able to rest, and when we do so, what parts of our bodies or minds are still active? Do we rest too much or too little? And who decides what’s enough or too much? These questions are universal, but the answers are as individual as each of us.

Inked: Stigma, Otherness, and Art
2026-09-27 12:00 - 17:00 | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
For at least five thousand years, humans have used tattoos to permanently modify their appearance. Tattoos—inked designs embedded in the skin—function as markers of both belonging and exclusion. In Ancient Greek, the word for tattooed mark or puncture is stigma, and the meaning of the word in contemporary English (a mark of disgrace, a setting apart) remains pertinent today. Steeped in taboo, tattoos have visually read as markers of otherness since the early modern Euro-American colonization of the medium.

Before Skidmore—The Woodlawn Estate presents three Gilded Age postcards of Woodlawn, a sprawling private park owned by controversial Saratoga Springs businessman Judge Henry Hilton (1824–1899). The park became a landmark in Saratoga, frequented by residents and distinguished New York City socialites during the summers. Once filled with sculpture gardens, winding paths, and a dozen private mansions, the land is now home to Skidmore College.

Kathy Butterly: Assume Yes
2026-07-26 12:00 - 17:00 | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
Clever. Mischievous. Seductive. Defiant. For over three decades, Kathy Butterly has captivated viewers with her experimental and expressive ceramic sculptures. Her signature small-scale porcelain and earthenware works spring to life with an outsize range of moods expertly expressed in a wide array of textures, colors, and techniques. Every detail of a Butterly sculpture, from pools of orange glaze to pearlescent beads of clay, is an essential part of its composition.
Dates: Feb 14 – Jul 26
Kathy Butterly: Assume Yes is organized by Dayton Director Ian Berry.

Elevator Music 54: Hanna Tuulikki—spinning-in-stereo
2026-07-19 12:00 - 17:00 | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
Textile production is an inherently collaborative process, requiring many hands to gather wool, spin yarn, and weave fabric. In Scotland, where sound artist and composer Hanna Tuulikki lives, these tasks were historically performed by women, who used music to mark time and build comradery during their repetitive, labor-intensive work. Tuulikki’s spinning-in-stereo transforms a traditional Gaelic spinning song into a composition for two voices sung in the round. The core melody repeats in a hypnotic loop, spiraling from slow, low tones up to a rippling crescendo of soprano vocalizations and back down again. With its intertwined female voices, the piece encourages us to consider how the rhythms of the past echo into the present.
Feb 14 – Jul 19

All These Growing Things by The Tang
2026-07-19 12:00 - 17:00 | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
All These Growing Things presents contemporary and historical paintings, prints, textiles, photography, and sculpture from the Tang Museum collection that explore questions of becoming and belonging. It will examine connections to personal, ancestral, and cultural histories; masking as an approach to both reveal and conceal identities; and the possibilities of transformation. How do we grow as individuals, in relationships, and alongside the communities to which we belong? How do we grow with or against the natural world, and what will become of human-animal-plant connections in the future? In a museum, how does a collection of artwork grow in conversation with urgent issues in our communities?

Designing Power: The Black Panther Party
2026-05-31 12:00 - 17:00 | Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery, 815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866, United States
Designing Power: The Black Panther Party examines how the Party forged an iconic revolutionary image through intentionally-crafted aesthetics. The Black Panther Party rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s as a legendary organization, instrumental in defining Black Power. By employing evocative symbols such as their striking logo, combined with potent language, the Party reflected their ideas in an accessible and eye-catching way that captured global attention and cultivated a large and devoted community. From their style of hair and dress, to the graphic design of their flyers and newspapers, to the way they portrayed themselves in artwork, all the materials the Party produced reflected their ideals of Black Power, self-sufficiency, and community support.

"This is America" Artist Talk - Destiny Arianna
2026-03-21 13:00 - 15:00 | Woodstock School of Art, 2470 NY-212, Woodstock, NY, 12498, United States
Curated by Jaime Ransome and presented by the Woodstock School of Art (WSA), this four-part series takes place in the fall and winter of 2025–2026 in the WSA gallery. Each conversation centers on a Hudson Valley–based artist whose practice is deeply rooted in cultural and ancestral histories. Together, their work reflects themes of migration, identity, belonging, and resilience, offering a pluralistic vision of American art as an ever-evolving form.
The series opens with Ransome, whose layered collage work examines the history and future of The Great Migration both from and back to the American South, illuminating African American histories of labor, movement, and spiritual continuity. Destiny Arianna, an Afro-Indigenous artist, creates immersive, site-responsive installations that connect family memory with broader ancestral narratives. Carl Grauer transforms personal history into figurative paintings that turn abstract symbols into icons of queer identity and remembrance, drawing on his own journey toward self-acceptance. Marielena Ferrer’s experimental sculptural practice—highlighted by her thesis work with poison ivy—draws a sharp, poetic comparison between the ways humans affect the earth and how the earth, in turn, shapes us. Together, these artists bring forward distinct voices and visions that, when placed in dialogue, reveal the complexity, diversity, and richness of American art today.
