Featured Exhibit
The Natural World: Crafted by Hand, Fired in Smoke
March 27 — May 10, 2026
The ceramic work of Putney alums Paula Shalan ’81 and Richard Foye ’65 will be on display this spring in the Currier Center. Foye’s work is inspired by 12th-century Persian glazes and a Japanese Raku style he will demonstrate during Parents Weekend, smoking the pieces in an old-fashioned washing machine drum in order to produce his stunning finishes. Shalan also smoke-fires her work and hand-builds each piece based on observations gleaned from the smallest details found in nature, “in order to distill and highlight the astounding beauty and quiet wisdom of fields and forests.”
A Place to Create
Through offerings that spark ideas, conversations and experiences relevant to current topics, we build connections in our community, and beyond. Our space includes a 300-seat auditorium and stage, an art gallery, dance studio, music library and practice rooms, a green room, and office and storage space. Our gallery exhibits are constantly changing, and are always free and open to the public.
A Unique Space
Designed with the future in mind, the Currier Center building features a sustainable design with plenty of natural light to contribute to the feeling of movement and activity within. Inside, bold colors heighten the experience of the performance spaces, gallery walls can be moved to reconfigure the exhibition space, and gorgeous views connect visitors to the surrounding landscape.
