Tang Museum Public Tours

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announced Wednesday a series of free public tours for the fall season, including Tang Guide Tours each Sunday beginning Sept. 7, and monthly Curator’s Tours.

The Tang rotates exhibitions in and out of its galleries, presenting more than a dozen each year. Fall exhibitions include “See It Now: Contemporary Art from the Ann and Mel Schaffer Collection,” opening Sept. 13, a sweeping presentation of contemporary art collected over the last five decades; the recently opened “All These Growing Things,” an exploration of becoming and belonging through a selection of work from the Tang collection, which now numbers over 20,0000 objects; and “Sheila Pepe: Where and When We Rest,” opening Oct. 11, the sixth iteration in the mezzanine installation project that invites an artist to design a community lounge space.

Continuing through Nov. 2 is “Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow,” which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the grassroots organization through archival material, oral histories, and art.
