Fairfield University Art Museum, FUAM, opened a traveling exhibition, “Sacred Space: A Brandywine Workshop and Archive Print Exhibition,” on September 21, 2024 and will be on view through August 2026.

“Sacred Space,” organized by guest curator Juanita Sunday, draws on the rich history of the Brandywine Workshop and Archives, founded in Philadelphia in 1972 by artist Allan Edmunds. As of 2023, FUAM is home to a Brandywine “satellite collection.” This exhibition features works from FUAM’s collection and loans from Brandywine itself.  “Sacred Space” encourages a deep exploration of spiritual connection, inviting viewers to reflect on the ancestral wisdom and memory passed down through generations. The exhibition is a portal into the interconnected realms of spirituality, time, space, memory, and culture. The artists pay homage to their forebears, drawing upon cultural traditions, rituals, and sacred practices to honor, preserve, and question the invaluable heritage that shapes our identities.
