Peter Massing (American, b. 1956). Revere George, 2010. Etching and drypoint engraving. 15 x 20 in. Gift of Peter Massing, Collection of FGCU Art Galleries. 2022.0002.0207.
Location: Wasmer Art Gallery
Dates: August 28 - September 24, 2026
Opening Reception and Roundtable Discussion: Thursday, August 27, 2026, 5–7pm
This exhibition features two portfolios of prints inspired by the history of the United States from 1774 to 1844. Each participating artist was assigned a year and asked to choose an event or idea representative of that year. Some are well known events while others are more obscure, expanding on the depth and understanding on the origins of the United States as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The chronological display of prints throughout the gallery offers a walk through time and history through the eyes of the participating artists.
This will be the first time these prints are on view at FGCU. The exhibition is made possible through the generous gift of these portfolios by Peter Massing to the FGCU Art Galleries’ Permanent Collection.
Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler, the Wasmer Endowment, and WGCU Public Media.
