The Yale University Art Gallery presents Midcentury Abstraction: A Closer Look. The exhibition featuring artists Lee Bontecou, Dorothy Dehner, Willem de Kooning, George Miyasaki and Franz Kline and Mark Rothko opens February 25 and runs through June 26. "Eschewing the notion that there was a linear shift toward abstraction at midcentury, the exhibition showcases a group of artists who freely moved in and out of abstraction or blended their radical approaches with traditional subject matter, such as landscape, portraiture, or still life." The gallery is temporarily closed to the public, but hopefully will be reopening soon. Yale University Art Gallery is located at 1111 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut. For more information and updates on reopenings, please visit here.

Harvard Art Museums presents Prints from the Brandywine Workshop and Archives: Creative Communities. Opening on March 4, this exhibition is something to keep on your radar as March quickly approaches. The Brandywine Workshop, founded in 1972, encourages "collaboration and the exchange of ideas feed a culture of experimentation, in which master printers and artists continually challenge conventions of the creative process and push the technical boundaries of printmaking to produce compelling new works." The works in the exhibition were acquired in 2018, "Comprising prints and proofs by 30 artists, the acquisition itself was a cooperative effort between curators and other museum colleagues as well as Harvard students and professors, who selected works that highlight collaboration and innovation, values at the core of Brandywine’s pioneering approach." The Special Exhibitions Gallery at Harvard Art Museums is located at 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are open Tuesday—Sunday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. For more information, visit here.

Our five senses create moments delivered through time – historical moments, ours or others' epic stories, along with hands-on experiments exploring the mystery of the mind and body. Andrew Harvey may have said it best: "If you're listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. Your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders."
