  • "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919–1946" — on view through Dec. 6

    Visit the Binghamton University Art Museum this semester to view the fall 2025 exhibition, "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919–1946". The exhibition will run through Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025.

    The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives, their landscapes and their dreams. "In the American Grain" tells this story through artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the Binghamton University Art Museum and Libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center and the Art Bridges Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough, professor of art history.

    Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.

    Also visit the Museum’s Lower Galleries featuring three exhibitions curated by students: "Superposition: Examining Boundaries in East Asian Religious Art", curated by Kate Langsdorf ’25; "The Visual Language of Grief", curated by Molly Rudden ’25; and "Destabilizing “the Brain”: Imagining Binghamton University", curated by Bassie Chin ’26.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the “Events” page and social media at the link below. All events are free and open to the public.

Volunteer

  • Addiction Center of Broome County food drive

    Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Social Work interns are starting a food drive for the clients and families of The Addiction Center of Broome County (ACBC). Interns will be collecting various items such as non-perishable food products, hygiene products, period products, diapers and formula, etc. These items will be used to supply ACBC's food pantry, and will be distributed to those struggling with substance use, as well as their families.

    As many of our clients rely on SNAP benefits, it is a crucial time to give back and provide them with the necessities that they are currently not receiving. There are two collection bins located in downtown Binghamton; one bin is at Stadium 138 (138 Washington St.) and the second bin is located at Blazin' Saddles (41 Court St.). Any and all donations are welcome and greatly appreciated!
