Please join us for a reception for the exhibition Ann Craven | Painted Time: Moons (Laboratory). The reception is preceded by a public program with the artist Ann Craven and Anne Collins Goodyear, Co-Director of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, at 4:00 pm, located in Lancaster Lounge at Moulton Union. This event is free and open to the public.  
 
On view through August 17, 2025, this exhibition focuses on Ann Craven’s moon paintings, executed from 2020 through 2024. Craven begins by painting the moon plein air and afterwards scales her composition based on her initial observation. Over the course of the exhibition, three curators will collaborate with the artist to execute three distinct presentations of her moon paintings. The exhibition, like the moon itself, will evolve over time, bearing the traces of the moon’s “celestial journey” within the universe of the gallery.  
Free and open to the public. No registration is required. Presented by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
