The Kingsborough Art Museum's 2023-2024 exhibition season will include shows reflecting the rich heritage of the college over the past six decades.
Artist Walter Weissman '66 was a student in the college's inaugural year (1964). While there he studied under the artist and critic Gregory Battcock, who introduced him to the vibrant NY arts scene. This exhibition of Weissman's professional work includes photographs of Kingsborough's Manhattan Beach campus in its earliest days, early sculptures and projects, and drawings. Join us for this retrospective of our "first art student" at Kingsborough Community College.
Exhibition was on view April 17 - May 22, 2024
As part of the college's 60th Anniversary celebration, KAM presented a look at Kingsborough's
founding and early years in spring 2024. Click "Learn More" to view an online version of this exhibition. Through historical photographs and other ephemera and artifacts, the engaging saga of the college's hard-won struggle to acquire its Manhattan Beach campus is revealed.
The Kingsborough Art Museum will be open Monday through Friday, 10 am to 3 pm, except for scheduled college holidays. Please consult the academic calendar for specific college closings.
Several years ago a KCC ceramics student created and left behind this charming little glazed earthenware bear. Unclaimed, the bear became somewhat of a KAM mascot and was recently given the name Camembert (get it?). Our talented Gallery Assistant Sable Spellman created a graphic interpretation of Camembert, which we're quite fond of as well. Perhaps we'll create some KAM/Camembert buttons to share our remarkable ursine friend with the world. If you're the student who created this bear, or you know the student who did, please let us know!
