The Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin & Marshall College has opened for the 2024-25 academic year with a lineup of new and refreshed exhibitions.

The new exhibitions include "Tempestry: The Spectrum of Climate Change," "Shape of Space: Abstractions by Anne Marchand," and "Ties That Bind: Exploring Relationships in Photography."

For "Tempestry," F&M faculty members combined data, material culture, and advocacy to create a variety of tapestries. The color-coded, knitted wall hangings depict the changes in average yearly temperatures for specific geographical regions. A makers talk and reception will take place on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

"Shape of Space" features the creations of Anne Marchand, a Washington, D.C., area artist whose paintings reflect a range of perspectives using abstract forms inspired by images of deep spaces, views from airplanes and automobiles, and perceptions of natural and man-made textures and patterns, all distilled together. Marchand's intention is to actualize beauty and joy in the tangible form of a painting. The exhibition is supported in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, which receives aid from the National Endowment for the Arts. An artist talk and reception is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 19, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

"Ties That Bind" focuses on photography within the Phillips Museum of Art's permanent collection, highlighting moments in time and capturing a variety of connections. Inspired by many tumultuous social and political worldwide events, the images reflect the wide range of relationships that human beings may experience during their lifetime. A reception will take place on Thursday, Oct. 10, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

In addition, two exhibitions were drawn from the Phillips Museum's permanent collection and were refreshed for this fall.

"Ingrained: Celebrating Pennsylvania's Cultural Heritage" highlights the distinctive and colorful ways in which immigrant populations celebrated their native countries' stylistic heritage. It includes ceramics, metalwork, furniture, painting, and textiles from the 18th- and 19th-century Lancaster region.

"Personal Perspective: Landscapes and the Power of Place," curated by Janie M. Kreines, curator of exhibitions and engagement at the Phillips Museum of Art, features landscapes that invite viewers to bring his or her own interpretation to the works of art.

Museum admission and programs are free. The museum will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays through Friday, Dec. 6, except during fall break from Saturday to Tuesday, Oct. 12 to 15, and Thanksgiving recess from Monday, Nov. 25, through Monday, Dec. 2.
