Celebration Event for “Arcadia Collects” & “Samantha Mitchell: Land Forms”

An event celebrating two exhibitions, “Arcadia Collects: Art, Objects + Ephemera from the University Archives” and “Samantha Mitchell: Land Forms”, will be held in the Great Room of the University Commons on Thursday, September 21, 2023 at 6:30 PM. The evening will begin with a lecture by Anastasia Rousseau, University Archivist, in conjunction with the “Arcadia Collects” exhibition.

Immediately following Rousseau’s talk, a reception will be held in both the Rosedale and Harrison Galleries where artist Samantha Mitchell will be available to discuss her work. Both events are free and open to the public.

“Arcadia Collects: Art, Objects + Ephemera from the University Archives” in the Rosedale Gallery, is produced in collaboration with Anastasia Rousseau, Project Archivist. This exhibit employs objects, documents, and live demonstrations to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of an active archive.

“Samantha Mitchell: Land Forms”, in the Harrison Gallery, consists of works on paper and panel from the past seven years depicting Mitchell’s recollections of landforms she has experienced and documented through a deliberate, meditative buildup of small repetitive marks using ink, watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil.
