Hayes Prize 2023: Reggie Burrows Hodges, Turning a Big Ship (through December 31, 2023)
This exhibition presents new work by Reggie Burrows Hodges, the inaugural recipient of the Bartlett H. Hayes, Jr. Prize. Centered on the motifs of the sloop and the sea captain, these compositions engage with and expand the tradition of maritime painting as Hodges contemplates the notion of turning a big ship—of marshalling collective will and labor to resist a powerful current.

The Hayes Prize is awarded by the Addison Artist Council (AAC), which is dedicated to acquiring and commissioning contemporary art and supporting living artists. This prize provides the artist with their first solo show at a collecting museum, along with a publication, acquisition of art for the collection, and an artist’s residency on campus.
Sea Change (through December 31, 2023)
Conceived as a complement to Reggie Burrows Hodges' new work, this show brings together selections from the Addison’s rich collection of seascapes, maritime art, and model ships to explore the ocean and its shores as spaces of labor, leisure, passage, and peril.

Free Association: New Acquisitions in Context (through February 11, 2024)
Occupying the entirety of the Addison’s second level, this exhibition demonstrates how recently acquired works complement the museum’s extant holdings and help us to see the collection in novel ways, drawing out new narratives, juxtapositions, and conversations across time and media.
An exciting array of public programs related to these exhibitions and the museum’s collection are planned for the season—please visit the Addison’s Calendar of Events for details.
The Addison Gallery is free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am– 5:00 pm, and Sunday, 1:00–5:00 pm (closed on Mondays and national holidays). addisongallery.org
