Manifest Destiny/Manifest Responsibility: Environmentalism and the Art of the American LandscapeMay 17 - August 10, 2008

Viewers of this exhibition of paintings, prints and drawings from the collection of the This exhibition is organized by the Loyola University Museum of Art in partnership with the Terra Foundation for American Art. Terra Foundation for American Art is the lead sponsor.
The symbolic image of the landscape has been a part of our American heritage since the Hudson River School painters first glorified the American wilderness. There is a sense of spiritual renewal, new opportunity, and endless bounty to be found in their portrayal of nature. This exhibition investigates the geological, biological, historical, and cultural stories told in the landscape of America. Kolb looks at the land in a holistic manner--acknowledging its physical beauty and its place in the cultural stories of its many and varied inhabitants. Art of DemocracySeptember 6 - November 9, 2008
The exhibition, timed to coincide with the 2008 Presidential election, displays works by 60 printmakers whose art is concerned with democracy, social activism and political change. Examining the 20th-century history of using the poster and print as a vehicle for social advocacy and propaganda, the exhibition looks at contemporary artists continuing in that tradition. The exhibition is organized by the New York Society of Etchers and includes 25 Chicago-based artists. Suitcase PaintingsSeptember 20 - October 26, 2008
Organized by the Georgia Museum of Art and the Thomas McCormick Gallery in Chicago, the exhibition examines the idea that Abstract Expressionist artists of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, normally associated with large-scale canvases, executed and conveyed the same sensibility in paintings less than 18” in size. The variety of styles, techniques and materials reinforce the understanding that not only was there not one specific look or style in this loosely named movement of 20th-century art, but these artists were able to paint brilliantly in a smaller format and still convey the power and impact of their larger canvases. On the Same MapNovember 29 - January 4, 2009
On the Same Map is an exhibition of 100 photographs depicting the clinics and communities where Partners In Health has forged partnerships with patients and local health workers to combat AIDS, tuberculosis, hunger, poverty and injustice over the past 20 years. From the barren hills of Haiti, to the shantytowns of Peru, from the villages of rural Rwanda to the streets of downtown Boston, these photographs illuminate how communities that suffer the most glaring health, social and economic disparities in the world can be revived when individuals living in them have access to health, social and economic support and training. Partners In Health is a non-profit corporation that is active in the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Russia and the United States. It strives to bring the benefits of eternal hope and modern medical science to those most in need.
