It details the museum's permanent collection of over 5,000 objects spanning classical antiquity to contemporary works, along with its student-intern program that allows undergraduates to curate exhibitions and work in various museum departments. Four specific highlights are featured: the Kenneth C. Lindsay Study Room, sculptor Ed Wilson, Henry Moore's bronze "Reclining Figure on Pedestal," and a mysterious 17th-century Nuvolone painting cut into six pieces and reassembled.

BUAM exhibition explores artists’ interaction with historical movements

The Binghamton University Art Museum (BUAM) has opened its fall semester exhibition, “In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919-1946,” curated by art history professor Tom McDonough. The show spans the interwar period through World War II, featuring works from BUAM’s collection—many donated by local collectors Gil and Deborah Williams—alongside loans from the BU libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center, and the Art Bridges Collection. Originally conceived with Chelsea Gibson of the Binghamton Codes! Program, the exhibition grew from a pandemic-era digital project and includes thematic categories such as Americans Abroad, City Life, Picturing Black Lives, and War Time, with works by artists like Jane Peterson, Chiura Obata, James Lesesne Wells, and Helen Torr.

Pop-up exhibition highlights art from diverse artists

Binghamton University Art Museum (BUAM) is hosting a pop-up exhibition curated from its permanent collection of over 4,000 pieces, with each work selected by a member of the Binghamton University community. The exhibition was conceived by Richard Quiles, a diversity education coordinator and former museum intern, who collaborated with museum director Diane Butler and preparator Jessica Petrylak to invite faculty and staff to choose artworks that resonate with their identities and write reflection essays. The show includes paintings, prints, and works by prominent Black artists, and will run during Celebrate Diversity Month.
