Our work with Colby College Museum of Art continually broadens our understanding of artists that are both familiar and completely new to us. We count ourselves lucky to get to collaborate with an institution that makes art accessible to all by offering free admission. We know how rare that is, and are proud to have a world-class gallery that offers just that right here in Maine.
This latest project with Colby is focused on Bob Thompson and his incredibly vivid and beautiful pieces, collected into a gorgeous and immersive show “This Is My House”, which you can see at Colby College Museum of Art until January 9th, 2022.
Our crew spent a day with this collection and we can’t recommend this show enough.
Here’s a teaser we made for the show! As with our other collaborations with the museum, a longer piece will be available on their website: https://www.colby.edu/museum/
