The Amherst Center for Russian Culture hosted an opening reception for its new exhibition in the Russian Center Art Gallery on Oct. 2. The exhibition, which is located on the second floor of Webster Hall, is called “ПОД ОТКРЫТЫМ НЕБОМ — Journeys in Space and Memory: Urban Scenes and Landscapes by Russian Artists.” The Russian words roughly translate to “Under the Open Sky.” The works were chosen by the Mead Art Museum’s senior curator, Bettina Jungen, and the exhibition features a range of painted works from the Thomas P. Whitney ’37 Collection.
