The Sarah Doyle Gallery
The Sarah Doyle Gallery is our own professional gallery. We exhibit five to six juried shows a year, as well as a staff-faculty show, a commencement show, and various special exhibits. The goal of the gallery is to expose Brown students to high quality professional art here on campus. The gallery openings offer everyone the chance to interact with the artists, ask them questions, and enjoy their Artist Talks on the nights of Opening Receptions. The other great thing about the gallery is that it brings all kinds of diverse and interesting people from campus, the Providence community, and the region into the women's center, giving them a chance to discover what an exciting place this is.
The gallery space in the "new" women's center is huge and beautiful. In the original building, the gallery had one small room and bled over into one of the meeting rooms, making the space a little haphazard and confusing. Of course we loved our old little space, but the new building opens all kinds of opportunities for the Sarah Doyle Gallery. We can show more work in a lovely space. The new building is a welcome and wonderful home for not only the gallery, but also for the center in general
The Current Show:
"Colonizers" a show of works by Molly Gunther
February 1 - February 27
Closing Reception, February 27, 6 - 8PM, refreshments will be served
The Gallery is currently hosting a show of works by artist Molly Gunther. Molly received a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College in 1997, and went on to receive an M.F.A. from Parsons School of Design in 2000. Her show, "Colonizers" utilizes abstract landscape as a means of expressing her interpretation of the world around her.
To me, it is all a life riot, a continuous chain of war, birth, growth, dominion, death, and more life. Everything exchanges energy with everything and this is a great equalizer. I am especially intrigued by the human relationship with land and the painted landscape. Since we started dragging ourselves over land, we have been happily poking and prodding the earth with a far and broad range of results. It is my intention to use landscape not as a romantic notion, but as the perfect place to explore the inherent equality and strangness of living here.
