Legacies in Paper: Nancy Cohen, Sara Garden Armstrong, & Helen Hiebert 

September 4, 2025 - January 30, 2026

 

Legacies in Paper is an exhibit celebrating the lifelong exploration of hand papermaking in the artworks of Nancy Cohen, Sara Garden Armstrong, and Helen Hiebert, significant pioneers in developing paper as an artistic and sculptural medium. 

In Legacies in Paper, we are proud to feature the work of three contemporary artists—Helen Hiebert, Nancy Cohen, and Sara Garden Armstrong—whose practices embody the spirit of innovation while reflecting on longstanding traditions. Each artist brings a unique voice to the medium: Hiebert’s luminous constructions explore the interplay of light and structure; Cohen’s sculptural works reflect ecological fragility and resilience; and Armstrong’s immersive environments blur the boundaries between the organic and the engineered. Together, their works speak to the transformative potential of paper—not only as a surface for expression but as a sculptural, spatial, and conceptual force. Through their hands, paper becomes a language of memory, a vessel of emotion, and a bridge between past and present.

Paper & Architecture

March 2 - July 10, 2026

 

Paper is an underappreciated resource. It touches every aspect of our lives, even architecture. We see the influence of paper in construction materials, architecture models, and as design inspiration. This exhibition focuses on paper as it shapes the spaces we live and work in. 

The Craft of Paper: Contemporary Takes on Tradition

August 3, 2026 - January 15, 2027

 

Curated by paper artist Michael Velliquette, The Craft of Paper: Contemporary Takes on Tradition, is a survey of the established families of techniques for manipulating paper. It is also a celebration of the evolution of the techniques. Contemporary artists have pushed beyond previous understanding of the medium and forging forward with fresh expressions of the medium.
