Continuing the Spring 2025 Fine Arts Lecture Series, the MassArt Graduate Programs and the 2D and 3D fine art departments, in collaboration with the Sustainability Minor, are pleased to welcome Patte Loper. Please join us in the Design and Media Center Lecture Hall at 12:00pm on Wednesday, April 23.

Patte Loper is an interdisciplinary artist based in painting who experiments with sculpture and video to explore a range of subject matter including feminist utopianism and the environmental humanities. She was born in Colorado and grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, a subtropical college town where she first developed an appreciation for the ways nature and culture can overlap. She currently lives and works in New York City and Boston, MA where she is on the faculty of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. Recent exhibitions have created science fiction characters out of mushrooms, depicted land masses as living bodies, and investigated graveyards as sites of shifting time and more-than-human entanglements. She has exhibited widely, including at the Drawing Center (New York, NY), the Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh, PA), and the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art and Design (Portland, ME), among others. She has participated in residency fellowships at MacDowell, Yaddo, and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and her work is in the collections of the Rene di Rosa Foundation, the Microsoft Corporation, and the Tacoma Art Museum.
