This exhibition honors Black men who have made significant contributions to the art world, both as artists and professors at art colleges and historically White colleges and universities across the United States. Doctoral candidate and visual artist Ligel Lambert celebrates these influential figures through symbolic portraits created in his signature Fauvist-inspired style. 

This annual exhibition features artworks by students in the Art & Art Education Program that have been selected for the Myers Art Prize and which will join the Program’s permanent collection. The works chosen are provocative and insightful responses to the prompt and title of the show. “Of now…?” is an invitation to reflect on the questions we face today as artists, the challenges these pose for our practice, and how we respond to them. This theme invites the exploration of possibilities that emerge through practices of making in today’s challenging world. 

This exhibition is the first of two shows featuring works created in the Art & Art Education Program’s studio courses. Instructors from painting, drawing, and ceramics curate a collection of work to showcase the artistic explorations of students from across the college and community programs.

The second of two shows, this exhibition also highlights the art created by students from across the college and community programs here at Teachers College who are working in the Art & Art Education studio courses. The photography, printmaking, sculpture and creative technology instructors curate the work on display. 

This exhibition is produced in collaboration with the 2026 Conversations Across Cultures Symposium. This show explores the theme of “Conversations” – those we have with ourselves as makers, critics, and thinkers, and those we have across art forms and with others across time and space.

The scope of doctoral candidate Erika Vogt’s work encompasses video, sculpture, drawing, and performance. For this exhibition Vogt will present an installation of new drawings and sculptures. The works in the exhibition are informed by Vogt’s research working with the community in the Teacher’s College community ceramics program and by past works inspired by ancient Cycladic terra cotta vessels.

This exhibition launches a series of shows that feature children’s artwork. The graduating class of Masters with initial teaching certification students will present work from their own lessons. On display will be art in a range of media from their P-12 students, alongside examples of their own artistic practice.

This exhibition shines a light on the artworks and ideas of our youngest learners and makers: the current Hollingworth Preschool children and recent alumni. Hollingworth educators and children will collaboratively curate this show, inspired by the connecting thread of wonder and inquiry that is woven throughout every “discipline” they explore together. The selected works reflect the wonder-ful and the wonder-ing that is part of every child’s artistic development and process.

This exhibition showcases a wide range of work from current middle and high school students (grades 7 – 12) at Hunter College Campus Schools (HCCS). Materially experimental and conceptually ambitious, the work of these accelerated student-artists illustrates a deep desire to ‘lock in’ (i.e., channel rigor and sustain hyper-focus) in their developing studio practices. This show also includes pedagogical notes from HCCS art faculty (including several TC graduates) on building studio skills and encouraging creative risks.

This curated exhibition features work from art educators who have reinvested in their own studio practice. The 2026 Art & Art Education Masters in Studio Practice cohort have developed their studio practice, their pedagogy, and their professional identity over the past 2 years. For their capstone, they present their art, featuring a range of media, in a group exhibition.
