Constellations: The Alumni Show

Aug 3 – 21, 2026

Inaugural triennial of Visual Art alumni, beginning with work in the HCC Permanent Collection.

“The stars we are given. The constellations we make. That is to say, stars exist in the cosmos, but constellations are the imaginary lines we draw between them, the readings we give the sky, the stories we tell." — Rebecca Solnit

Since 1969, artists from across the region have come to Holyoke Community College to study visual art. Their work connects ideas, cultures, and people around the world. From August 3-21, you have the opportunity to experience Constellations, a celebration of the many talented artists who have walked through these doors. This unique exhibit features the artwork of more than 20 alumni artists whose work is part of the HCC permanent collection. 

Please join us for a reception on August 6 in the Taber Art Gallery. Admission is free, but space is limited so please register early.
