Since 2003, Vassar College has held an annual festival dedicated to exploring and celebrating the arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s called Modfest, and it brings together students, faculty members and outside artists (such as Pulitzer Prizewinning composers Yehudi Wyner, Steve Reich and David del Tredici) for a week-and-a-half of residencies, performances and exhibitions, all free and open to the general public.
Described as “an exhibit that stages concrete and abstract symbols of American values,” the Carrie Haddad Gallery’s new exhibit titled “Americana” opens on January 25 and runs through March 12, with an artists’ reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, January 28.
Admission to the exhibit is free; but if you need an additional incentive to pay a visit to the Vassar campus, you might also want to check out this year’s annual Krieger Lecture, coming up on Feb. 9. “An Evening with Zadie Smith” will feature the highly influential, award-winning British author reading from recent works, which include the acclaimed novel “Swing Time.”
