Sienna Gallery + SPQ projects represent and work with emerging and established artists creating engaging and thought-provoking work. The artists bridge the worlds of art, craft, and contemporary design with innovative use of materials and medium.


In 1998, Sienna Gallery began representing innovative artists using traditional and non-traditional materials who push and pull the boundaries of studio jewelry and adornment. In 2010 SPQ Projects was formed and the gallery has widened its focus to include artists working in other formats. In conjunction with the gallery, SGPress publishes monographs, catologues and books.

The gallery is located in Lenox, Massachusetts, in the countryside of the Berkshire Hills. The Berkshires, known for their natural beauty and cultural institutions, have been an inspirational home to artists for generations.

The Drawing Center has been a unique and dynamic part of New York City's cultural life since 1977. The only not-for-profit institution in the country to focus on the exhibition of drawings, it was established to demonstrate the significance and diversity of drawings throughout history, to juxtapose work by master figures with work by emerging and under-recognized artists, and to stimulate public dialogue on issues of art and culture.

The Master of Fine Art in Studio Arts at MECA is a two-year, full-time, low-residency program focused on the development of interdisciplinary, research-based practices articulated through critical and curatorial writing. The curriculum is taught by core, visiting, and advisory faculty who work closely with students both on and off campus. Residencies at MECA include two full summer intensives, two shorter winter intensives, and a week in May for graduating students who install and present their thesis work in the galleries of the ICA. During the non-resident winter and spring semesters, students continue coursework with MECA faculty and are also partnered with local advisors who work one-on-one with each student to expand their studio and project-based work. The MFA at MECA nurtures the development of more rigorous and refined relationships between three key aspects of creative production: stimulus, practice, and analysis are seen as mutually interdependent forces that continually shape artistic experimentation and response.

Surrealism occupies a unique position in the intellectual and cultural history of the twentieth century. Marking the crisis in post-Enlightenment thought and active in every sphere of creative life, it has been at the heart of debates about modernism and postmodernism. The Centre provides a valuable focus for the many individual researchers in other universities and for museums with interests in surrealism, consolidating existing scholarship on surrealism and identifying vital new areas of research such as the relationship with science. Drawing together a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and allowing for productive interplay between historical analysis and contemporary artistic and theoretical reflection, the Centre is concerned to redefine understanding of a movement that is critical to debates about the avant-garde. It engages with surrealism's many legacies in recent art and cultural theory, and in collaboration with Tate will generate outputs of value to scholars, students, artists and the museum-going public.

In addition to photography, there is also an archive of pertinent literature and memorial ephemera. It is the goal of the Museum to keep this type of photography accessible to the public.
