Opening Reception for Mαwte: Bound Together (December First Friday)

Friday, December 5, 5–7pm

Colby College Museum of Art

Joan Dignam Schmaltz Gallery of Art, Paul J. Schupf Art Center, 93 Main Street, Waterville

Celebrate the opening of Mαwte: Bound Together and enjoy catering from Smokey’s BBQ! Join us at 5:30pm for an introduction to the show by the exhibition’s curators and artists.

The Penobscot word mαwte (mαw tteh) means “it is together.” Ideas of togetherness and interconnection shape both the artworks and the curatorial process behind this group exhibition of contemporary Wabanaki artists.

We honor and celebrate the array of identities in our local community and broader communities, including those that are not part of the predominant culture. We hold space on our stage, our screens, and our gallery walls, in our studios, and at our community events and programs to present diverse stories, identities, and lived experiences in real and authentic ways.
