Rod's A. presents the many sides of one model, Aurora, and their collaboration in Mexico celebrating the female nude. Rod reflects,”Creating a body of work with one model in a week is a daunting task, even though I am an intuitive and fast shooter… Aurora can claim, at the least, equal credit for the success we achieved.”

Penrhyn's SERENDIPITY Mexico captures chance encounters and serendipitous moments. Her photographs take a peek into the heritage of a proud culture. Cook explains "new experiences open my eyes and turn me into a storyteller. In Mexico I found vibrant tones and vibrant color, joyful celebrations of ancestors and families different from my own, and landscapes that reflect a long and illustrious history.”

Sunday March 9, 1-3pm

Join us fort he opening reception of the new exhibitions at the Ely Center!

Tin There, Done That, a group exhibition kicking off the celebration of ECOCA turning 10! Tin/Aluminum, the traditional material for a 10th wedding anniversary, represents ECOCA’s marriage of fostering contemporary arts in New Haven and the charitable legacy of Grace T. Ely in her Elizabethan mansion.

A Desire Path, inspired by the unplanned trails that humans create despite extensive planning. This group exhibition features the works of Jessica Bottalico, Annie Ewaskio, Jessica Fallis and Sydney Kleinrock. Each artist navigates their practice similarly to such a structure, finding moments in natural settings to get to their destinations; planned or unplanned, cyclical or straight.

Stone Screen, a solo exhibition of Anita Maksimiuk in the Flat File gallery. Maksimiuk uses migration and urban elements to represent her experience as a first-generation American. Maksimiuk uses imagery that includes parts of the American Southwest, Eastern Europe and everything that make up the five boroughs of New York City, which she calls home.

Maidan & XX, a two part solo exhibition of photographer Amartya De. On March 9th, viewers are able to begin their investigation into the photographic installation in its starting point with only a handful of photos on view. Over the weeks leading up to April 13th, De will be printing negatives in the Ely Center Basement Darkroom that he spent the previous year creating as well as making archival digital prints. Viewers will get a glimpse into De’s process which has grown out of his years growing up in Kolkata and the time he has spent travelling across the United States. Highlighted in Maidan & XX is a juxtaposition of time and space so viewers have a longer spectral dimension that holds their time - forcing them to be in the moment and retrospective simultaneously.

Come hang out with makers as we get inside stuff for our first Takeapart of 2025! We'll have some post-functioning electronics and the like ready for dissection. Have something broken at home that you want to dig into? Feel free to bring it! Have fun seeing how things work with us. Reassembly definitely not guaranteed :)

In addition to the takeapart fun, we will have our usual time to chat and share proejcts. Whether you're working on something wild and wonderful, or still brainstorming your next big idea, this is the perfect space to show it off or bounce ideas around. We want to see what you’ve been up to, hear your stories, and get inspired by each other’s creativity. Snacks provided; feel free to bring a favorite to share if inspired.

A new exhibition to be installed at the Schwarzman Center, “Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven,” will illuminate ongoing research that recovers the essential role of Black people throughout Yale and New Haven history. The exhibition puts back at the center of local storytelling people who have always been central to local history. It celebrates Black community building, resistance, and resilience on campus and in New Haven.

The show will include nearly one hundred images of Yale’s earliest Black students from the 1800s and early 1900s, many of whom had deep New Haven connections. The Schwarzman exhibition will also feature compelling reproductions of photographs of New Haveners who were custodians of Yale. The Luke, Grimes, Creed, Park, and Bassett families, among the many people key to founding and sustaining Yale, will be heralded in the show.

“Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven” will showcase the proposal, made and thwarted in 1831, to build a Black college in New Haven. It will also highlight the successful efforts of Black students in the 1960s to establish the Afro-American Cultural Center and Afro-American Studies at Yale.

This exhibition brings forth knowledge kept alive in archives and memory for many centuries—even when the dominant culture chose to ignore, bury, or forget. It extends the work of the Yale and Slavery Research Project and follows from the exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale and Slavery,” at the New Haven Museum from February 16, 2024 – March 1, 2025.

The exhibition team includes David Jon Walker ’23 MFA, lead designer, and Michael Morand ’87 ’93 M.Div., lead curator, with Timeica Bethel ’11, Rob Brown, Jennifer Coggins, Tubyez Cropper, Mohamed Diallo ’26, Regina Mason, Hope McGrath, Carlynne Robinson, and Charles Warner, Jr.

Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; Friday, July 4 (Independence Day); Thurday, November 27 (Thanksgiving); Wednesday, December 24 (Christmas Eve); and Thursday, December 25 (Christmas Day).

Many crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the Nativity scene, feature a diversity of settings and stable designs — the most common of which is an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.

This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights a handful of works whose settings have been customized for the figures they contain. One of these is the Neapolitan, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, by Cantone and Costabile of Naples, Italy. In addition, a brand-new crèche will be featured in this exhibit: The Nativity at New Haven's St. Mary’s Church, designed by US-based Navidad Nativities, Inc., with figures made in Italy by Original Heide.

A new exhibition to be installed at the Schwarzman Center, “Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven,” will illuminate ongoing research that recovers the essential role of Black people throughout Yale and New Haven history. The exhibition puts back at the center of local storytelling people who have always been central to local history. It celebrates Black community building, resistance, and resilience on campus and in New Haven.

The show will include nearly one hundred images of Yale’s earliest Black students from the 1800s and early 1900s, many of whom had deep New Haven connections. The Schwarzman exhibition will also feature compelling reproductions of photographs of New Haveners who were custodians of Yale. The Luke, Grimes, Creed, Park, and Bassett families, among the many people key to founding and sustaining Yale, will be heralded in the show.

“Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven” will showcase the proposal, made and thwarted in 1831, to build a Black college in New Haven. It will also highlight the successful efforts of Black students in the 1960s to establish the Afro-American Cultural Center and Afro-American Studies at Yale.

This exhibition brings forth knowledge kept alive in archives and memory for many centuries—even when the dominant culture chose to ignore, bury, or forget. It extends the work of the Yale and Slavery Research Project and follows from the exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale and Slavery,” at the New Haven Museum from February 16, 2024 – March 1, 2025.

The exhibition team includes David Jon Walker ’23 MFA, lead designer, and Michael Morand ’87 ’93 M.Div., lead curator, with Timeica Bethel ’11, Rob Brown, Jennifer Coggins, Tubyez Cropper, Mohamed Diallo ’26, Regina Mason, Hope McGrath, Carlynne Robinson, and Charles Warner, Jr.

A new exhibition to be installed at the Schwarzman Center, “Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven,” will illuminate ongoing research that recovers the essential role of Black people throughout Yale and New Haven history. The exhibition puts back at the center of local storytelling people who have always been central to local history. It celebrates Black community building, resistance, and resilience on campus and in New Haven.

The show will include nearly one hundred images of Yale’s earliest Black students from the 1800s and early 1900s, many of whom had deep New Haven connections. The Schwarzman exhibition will also feature compelling reproductions of photographs of New Haveners who were custodians of Yale. The Luke, Grimes, Creed, Park, and Bassett families, among the many people key to founding and sustaining Yale, will be heralded in the show.

“Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven” will showcase the proposal, made and thwarted in 1831, to build a Black college in New Haven. It will also highlight the successful efforts of Black students in the 1960s to establish the Afro-American Cultural Center and Afro-American Studies at Yale.

This exhibition brings forth knowledge kept alive in archives and memory for many centuries—even when the dominant culture chose to ignore, bury, or forget. It extends the work of the Yale and Slavery Research Project and follows from the exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale and Slavery,” at the New Haven Museum from February 16, 2024 – March 1, 2025.

The exhibition team includes David Jon Walker ’23 MFA, lead designer, and Michael Morand ’87 ’93 M.Div., lead curator, with Timeica Bethel ’11, Rob Brown, Jennifer Coggins, Tubyez Cropper, Mohamed Diallo ’26, Regina Mason, Hope McGrath, Carlynne Robinson, and Charles Warner, Jr.
