The Sue and Eugene Mercy Jr. Gallery, dedicated in honor of former Loomis Trustee Eugene Mercy Jr. ’55 and his wife, Sue, is located in the Richmond Art Center — the campus hub for the visual arts program. Throughout the year, the Mercy Gallery exhibits the work of a variety of artists in a diversity of media, artistic endeavor, cultural influence, and geographic representation. The work of Visiting Artists are displayed in the Mercy Gallery to coincide with their residency on the Island, encouraging direct interaction between artists and students.
The Sue and Eugene Mercy Jr. Gallery will present Suffrage 100, a collection of work by 19 female artists of A.I.R. Gallery of Brooklyn, N.Y., marking the 100-year anniversary of ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which secured voting rights for women.
“Youth,” a student-curated exhibition of photographs from the Buhl Collection, will be on display in the Sue and Eugene Mercy Jr. Gallery through April 14, 2020. Concurrently, an exhibition of student artwork will be on display in the Barnes and Wilde galleries of the Richmond Art Center.
Exiled by installation artist Harriet Diamond opened in the Richmond Art Center’s Sue and Eugene Mercy Jr. Gallery on Thursday, November 14 and will continue through January 17, 2020.
We regret that public, in-person visitation to the Mercy Gallery is not permitted at this time due to COVID-19 safety restrictions. Students and faculty who have permission to be on campus and are observing COVID-19 safety protocols may view the exhibition in the Richmond Art Center during regular school hours. All are invited to enjoy Mercy Gallery online exhibits.
