The 2026 Faculty Exhibition at the University of Maine’s Lord Hall Gallery is now on display through March 20. Students, faculty, staff and the community at large are invited to a public reception on Feb. 13 from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and celebrate their work.
The exhibition includes current and emeritus faculty from UMaine’s Department of Art and the Intermedia Master of Fine Arts program. A diverse range of work from Diana Baumbach, Louise Bourne, Tim Conte, Samantha Jones, James Linehan, Andy Mauery and Susan Smith features digital photography, paintings and mixed media, among other works of art.
Accompanying the exhibition will be free weekly programming titled, “The Mindful Eye.” Each Friday through March 13 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., the gallery offers exercises, yoga, meditation and pranayama (breathwork) using the artwork on display as a tool for mindfulness. This programming is supported by the Alton ’38 and Adelaide Hamm Campus Activities Fund.
Faculty exhibitions are presented on alternating years and showcase approximately half of the studio art faculty.
For more information on class visits, outreach activities or other related questions, contact Baumbach, who also serves as director of galleries, at diana.baumbach@maine.edu.
Lord Hall Gallery is located on the first floor of Lord Hall and is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Events are free, accessible and open to the public.
