The University of Mary Washington Galleries open their doors this fall to a dynamic slate of exhibitions and events that bring together national and regional artists, alumni and students for both creativity and conversation.<\/p>\n

From an interactive painting installation to mixed-media sculpture, abstract works and Native American art, the fall 2025 schedule at Mary Washington\u2019s Ridderhof Martin and duPont Galleries offers opportunities for reflection, analysis and participation. A series of gallery talks, a juror lecture and a community roundtable will further connect audiences with artists, curators and cultural leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to share a full season of programming that reflects the diversity of contemporary art and the strength of our community connections,\u201d said Tracy Stonestreet, director of UMW Galleries. \u201cEach exhibit and event is designed to spark dialogue, encourage participation and provide opportunities for meaningful engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fall 2025 Exhibitions
\n<\/strong>UMW Galleries presents four major exhibits this fall, two opening this month and two in late October. All gallery events are free and open to the public; no prior registration or tickets are necessary.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

From now through Oct. 10, visitors can experience Take a Painting<\/em> at duPont Gallery, an evolving, participatory installation by Erika Stearly that transforms the gallery into a working studio. Guests are invited to select a painting to keep and create a new work in exchange, making the exhibition evolve and change throughout its run. Stearly will discuss her project during a gallery talk on Thursday, Sept. 11, from 5 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At Ridderhof Martin Gallery during the same timeframe, Intersection <\/em>pairs David Carlson\u2019s process-driven abstract paintings with the geometric, mixed-media sculptures of Chee Keong Kung. This exhibit explores movement, memory and space, featuring a large installation by Kung in the main space and a multi-part video project by Carlson in a side room. The artists and curator Sarah Hardesty will lead a conversation about the exhibit on Thursday, Oct. 9, from 5 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

From Oct. 30 through Dec. 7, UMW Galleries presents two new exhibitions \u2013 kicking off with joint receptions on opening night, Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5 to 7 p.m., at both locations.<\/p>\n

At Ridderhof Martin Gallery, Adaptation, Innovation and Tradition: Art from the Patawomeck<\/em>\u00a0Community<\/em>\u00a0presents both historic and contemporary art from the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia, highlighting their connections to place and environment. The tribe\u2019s works illustrate how community identity is created, maintained and remade over time. Artists and Patawomeck community members will share their perspectives in a roundtable discussion on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 5 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

At duPont Gallery, the Annual<\/em> Student Art Exhibition <\/em>will showcase works by Mary Washington students, juried by Clare van Loenen, director of museums at Sweet Briar College. An array of artwork, typically around 50 pieces, will be on display with awards presented, including the Melchers Gray Purchase Award for the piece added to UMW\u2019s permanent collection. Van Loenen will give a juror talk on her curatorial work on Thursday, Nov. 20, from 5 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The UMW Galleries promote art education on campus and in the Fredericksburg community, hosting three to four rotating exhibitions per semester, featuring artwork by national and international artists as well as students and faculty.<\/p>\n
