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

September 4, 2025 - January 30, 2026

 

What does it mean for an artist to spend years exploring a material? How deep an understanding and visual vocabulary can be created with time and an extensive investigation. The three artists featured in the inaugural triennial series Legacies in Paper have spent a lifetime exploring the boundless qualities of handmade paper. The Paper Museum celebrates the endless vast possibilities of hand papermaking and the dedication to the creation of meaningful excellent art by Nancy Cohen, Sara Garden Armstrong, & Helen Hiebert.

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.
