Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1
Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM
Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM
Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred.
The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM.
The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition.
The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming.
We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)"

Computational Science Seminar
- Location: Textiles Building 105
- Contact: Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research
- Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar.
Speaker: Xiaozhe Hu (Tufts University)
Title: "Algebraic Multigrid Method and Its Parallelization"
Time: Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 2pm-3pm
Location: Textiles 105
Abstract: Developing parallel algorithms for solving large-scale sparse linear systems is an important and challenging task in scientific computing and practical applications. In this talk, I will introduce the unsmoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid method for solving large-scale linear systems. I will give theoretical justifications of its optimality for model problems and its parallelization, especially on graphic processing units. Two different parallel approaches will be discussed and numerical results will be presented to demonstrate their efficiency.
