STAMP Gallery Presents "Then, Now, and Tomorrow: CAPP New Acquisitions"
in the STAMP Gallery
This spring, the Stamp Gallery presents Then, Now, and Tomorrow, an exhibition of artwork acquired this year by the University’s Contemporary Art Purchasing Program (CAPP). This exhibition features eight artworks selected by the 2024-2025 Contemporary Art Purchasing Program Committee.
The 2024-2025 CAPP Committee spent the better part of a year researching and discussing potential artists, as well as conducting studio and gallery visits throughout Washington D.C., Maryland, and New York City. Drawn to works that contend with resilience and resistance, the group bonded over artists that addressed the immediacy of representation in the current socio-political climate, emphasizing themes of collective futures, cultivating conversations, and reimagining the art historical canon.
After Then, Now, and Tomorrow closes, the included artworks will be installed in the study spaces, lounges, and corridors of the Adele H. Stamp Student Union—Center for Campus Life for the daily study, inspiration, and enjoyment of students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
This exhibition and associated programming is supported in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
