Double Arrows: Toast, Tour, & Workshop

As the public center for visual arts at Tufts University, the Art Galleries create a dynamic learning space through a responsive program of contemporary art exhibitions, events, collecting, and scholarship, across our two locations in Medford and Boston. We are driven by our belief in the impact of art and artists on our world and grounded in the values of care, learning, dialogue, and the creative process.

Celebrate the work of Elizabeth James Perry

School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts

5–6PM – Join us for a toast and tour of Double Arrows with exhibition curator Abigail Satinsky, Program Officer and Curator of Arts &amp; Culture at the Wagner Foundation, exhibiting artist Erin Genia, and SMFA at Tufts faculty member Tanya Crane. 6–8PM - Following the reception, Erin Genia will lead a clay workshop; open to all, but pre-registration is required. Workshop space is limited. Priority will be given to university students. Please reserve a ticket, and we will confirm participation a few days before the program.Double Arrows is an exhibition of weavings and jewelry by Elizabeth James-Perry, enrolled member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag and a lifelong traditional artist, scientist, and illustrator, in conversation with the works of artists within the community: Tanya Crane, Erin Genia, Jonathan James-Perry, and Patricia James-Perry. Invoking the dynamic image of a line with arrow points at both ends, Double Arrows is James-Perry’s visually evocative concept of acknowledging our shared space and human interdependencies with the natural world. The exhibition is presented in the Grossman Gallery at SMFA at Tufts and on the façade of SMFA at Tufts’ 230 Fenway building, with a new billboard by James-Perry that celebrates Wampanoag coastal identity through the depiction of Indigenous life and the ongoing importance of wampum and Native family.
