October 20-November 16 | SUSAN HEIDEMAN
Approaching the Liminal
We live in many worlds; inside-outside, plant-animal, natural-supernatural. Although there are many successful painting traditions located in all of these worlds, Heideman has always been drawn to the border between them. The subjects of her paintings cross thresholds and irrupt into other realms. This exhibition included a selection of her paintings, constructions and reliquary objects. Heideman, painting professor at Smith College, received her MFA from Indiana University and BFA from Boston University School for the Arts. She has exhibited in New York and throughout New England.

March 8-April 15 | FIELD REPORT
Works by Members of The Boston Printmakers
As part of their year-long celebration commemorating their 60th anniversary, The Boston Printmakers have gathered work to report from their members' home states and towns. Prints have always been the favored medium to capture news and events of the times, and this exhibition does just that as well as reports on the state of the medium throughout the first decade of the 21st century.
