This exhibition is part of a series of exhibitions at the University Museum of Contemporary Art in which artists are encouraged to integrate their own works with pieces they select from the museum's works-on-paper collection, which includes over 2600 contemporary prints, drawings, and photographs. In the 1960s, UMass art teacher Walter Kamys started the collection which was shaped and shown over 5 decades by subsequent directors Hugh Davies, Helene Posner, Betsy Siersma, and currently, Loretta Yarlow. Dialogue With a Collection offers the rare opportunity to showcase artworks owned by UMass, and a platform for invited local artists to present their work.
