EXHIBITIONS

This fall the Morgan Conservatory presents a group exhibition titled Form Matters. This show features 2024 Morgan Artist-in-Residence recipients and artists from the region as they examine the element of form in papermaking, printmaking and book arts. Through form and expressive paper mediums, these artists are able to capture fleeting moments of the human experience. The exhibition is on view from October 31 through November 22. Join us from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, October 31, for the opening reception and light refreshments. Spooky costumes are encouraged.
