The Art of the Poster

Selections from the Mark del Costello Poster Collection of the SAMA Permanent Collection

January 2, 2023 – April 28, 2023

 

Celebrate the Art of the Poster and see how this unique visual medium harbors a visual language all its own. These featured posters host designs representing various films, television shows, theater productions, live events, and music. Although these posters are designed to support other works of art (film, theater, music), they do stand on their own as unique pieces of art and design which are often overlooked due to how often we see them. Revealing this invisible medium of design is what The Art of the Poster is all about. These works and many other were graciously donated to SAMA by Mark del Costello.

Found Voice in Art

Exhibition in the Margery Wolf Kuhn Gallery

February 3, 2023 – April 16, 2023

 

This exhibition presents a full spectrum of voices, each unique and remarkable in their own way, each answering the question: what is art? Each piece was selected as an example of an artist “finding their voice” or their own style. Amidst the plethora of styles, an artist must develop their own unique way of seeing and communicate it to the rest of the world. It is a process, and it doesn’t happen all at once, but is developed through series of iterations in which each artist develops or ‘finds’ their voice.
