Carly Glovinski: Artist Talk and Workshop

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts, in partnership with Student Wellbeing and the CFA Color Garden, present a lecture and workshop by artist Carly Glovinski (CFA'03), organized by the BFA Painting program.

Carly Glovinski makes work that explores the make-do, resourceful attitudes associated with domestic craft and placemaking. Rooted in observations of her surrounding environment, and a curiosity about natural and human-made systems, her work embraces a slip in perception and employs a wide range of materials. The elements of time and place are often embedded, and the rhythms of repetitive processes, either invented or borrowed are a guide.

She received her BFA from Boston University, is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery in New York, and has had solo exhibitions at Mass MoCA, North Adams, MA and Colby Museum of Art, Maine. She has been awarded residencies at Kenyon College (Ohio), Surf Point (Maine) and Canterbury Shaker Village, and grants from the Berkshire Taconic Foundation, and the Blanche Colman Trust. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions both nationally and internationally and has been published or reviewed in publications including, Two Coats of Paint, Colossal, New American Paintings, ArtMaze Magazine, and Hyperallergic, and is held in prominent collections such as Farnsworth Art Museum, Cleveland Clinic, and Fidelity Corporation. Carly lives and works in Southern Maine, where she tends to an ongoing living work, Wild Knoll Foundation Garden. In the summer of 2025, she completed her first large scale public work in Boston, MA.
