Bogigian Gallery

Bogigian

The gallery is an exhibition space where students and the community can experience the visual arts at Wilson College. It is an important teaching tool used by the fine arts program to fulfill its mission.
 
Exhibits include a variety of media by different artists with a focus on local, regional and national talent. There are two exhibitions each semester including an annual student exhibition, biennial faculty/staff exhibitions and an annual exhibition for summer artists-in-residence.
 
The gallery is named in honor of Hagop Bogigian, a benefactor of the College. Bogigian came to America from Armenia in 1876 and became a successful businessperson and an activist against injustice.

The Bogigian Gallery is located in Lortz Hall and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free. For additional information or an appointment, contact Adam DelMarcelle, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design, or contact via email.

Consider Everything an Experiment

Thursday, September 18, 2025 to Friday, November 7, 2025 
Bogigian Gallery

On Thursday, September 18 at 4:30 PM we will open the exhibition Amos Paul Kennedy Jr: Consider Everything An Experiment in the Bogigian Gallery at Wilson College. You are invited to experience the powerful work of Amos Paul Kennedy Jr., a visionary artist and educator who transforms the tradition of letterpress printing into a vehicle for social justice and collective learning. Kennedy’s prints—bold, layered, and unapologetically direct—blend typographic form with the urgency of protest, creating a body of work that speaks as much to the heart as to the eye. Each poster is a declaration, a reminder, a lesson—designed not only to be seen, but to be felt, remembered, and shared.

Working with handset wood and metal type, Kennedy embraces the physical labor and tactile beauty of traditional printing methods. He overprints vibrant colors in dense, rhythmic layers, allowing chance and repetition to become part of the message. No two prints are ever the same—each carries its own visual weight and emotional resonance. Quoting civil rights leaders, community voices, and proverbs rooted in cultural wisdom, Kennedy’s work confronts injustice while educating and inspiring. His posters transform everyday materials into instruments of empowerment, reminding us that knowledge, like art, belongs to everyone. This exhibition is a celebration of design as dialogue, and of letterpress as a tool for change.

Opening: Thursday, September 18 at 4:30 p.m.

For additional information, contact Adam DelMarcelle, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design, or contact via email.
