RISD Museum presents Drawing Closer, "Four Hundred Years of Drawing from the RISD Museum". The exhibition opens March 12 and runs through September 4. The show focuses specifically on the drawing medium, while showing that drawing can be done using many different materials with unique intent — "Seven distinct but interrelated sections explore media and techniques such as pen, chalk, ink wash, and watercolor, as well as some of the traditional purposes of drawing, including observation, invention, preparation, and amusement." The show is curated by Jamie Gabbarelli, PhD, and was sponsored by a grant from the Getty Foundation. RISD Museum is located at 20 North Main St., Providence , Rhode Island. The gallery is open Tue., Wed., Sat., Sun., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursdays and Fridays from 12—7 p.m. Advanced ticket purchase is required, please visit here for more information.

Smith College Museum of Art presents Maya Lin: Mappings through August 7. Lin's art aims to bring awareness to climate change as we experience its effects each day — "Using a variety of materials, including steel pins, marble, and bound atlases, Lin distills complicated scientific and quantitative information into resonant objects. These artworks open a dialogue between the artist and the viewer." The show complements the new Neilson Library, which was also designed by Lin. Smith College Museum of Art is located at 20 Elm St., at Bedford Terrence, Northampton, Massachusetts. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed on Mondays and on major holidays. For more information, please visit here.
