Four Vassar seniors who held various jobs at the Frances Lehman Loeb Center since their first year on campus demonstrated their expertise at a prestigious art event in Venice.

Vassar has made an ongoing effort to acknowledge the displacement of Native peoples from the land where the campus has been built and to build relationships with those Native nations today. The College recently hosted a visit by the Tribal Liaison from the Stockbridge-Munsee, whose ancestors were forcibly moved from the land.

After over 150 years apart, Henry C. Gritten’s four paintings of Springside, Matthew Vassar’s country estate, have finally been reunited within The Loeb’s permanent collection. 

Making a Life in Photography: Rollie McKenna is the first career retrospective of the single most represented photographer in the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center—Rollie McKenna ’40. The exhibition, on view at the Loeb through June 2, features more than 100 of her photographs—from portrait and architectural to documentary photography.

The Loeb is celebrating two milestones this year: the 30th anniversary of the César Pelli-designed museum building and 160 years of Vassar’s art collection.
