About this Event

Join us for a free guided tour of Dominic Quagliozzi's powerful exhibit "Home Body" led by the artist, where he will guide members of the UMass Memorial community through an intimate exploration of his work and the influence of places like UMass Hospital and the Worcester Art Museum on his practice.

About "Home Body":
"In this exhibition, I trace the lineage of my art practice back to this space, the places around Worcester where I was supported, cared for and challenged. Places such as the Worcester Art Museum and UMass hospital, and other institutions created familiar spaces for me to find comfort and community, as well as an opportunity to grow as an artist. While growing up with a chronic illness, Cystic Fibrosis, making art was one of the few constants in my life available to me during times of health and decline; creating in itself a comfort measure as important as complying with treatments and taking medications." - Dominic Quagliozzi

Time:
The guided visit will take place on Saturday, June 15 from 2:00 -3:00 pm.

Participants are welcome to visit the Worcester Art Museum before or after the guided tour. UMass Memorial employees receive free museum admissions. The museum closes at 4pm.
Getting to the Open Door Gallery:
The Open Door Gallery @ WAM is located in the Higgins Education Wing of the Worcester Art Museum, at 55 Salisbury Street Worcester, MA 01609. We recommend taking the Lancaster Street entrance of the museum (which is accessible). If taking the elevator, please exit at level 2. Once you enter the museum, you will arrive at the Lancaster Lobby. Please follow the signs to enter the Higgins Education Wing. The Open Door Gallery is located at the end of the main floor of the Higgins Education Wing (level 2), next to the Library.

We are committed to creating an inclusive exhibition environment. In this exhibition there are image descriptions of all the artworks, tactile representations of the art that can be experienced through touch, and all videos have open captions.

There is a single-stall accessible restroom on level 2 of the Higgins Education Wing, next to the coat check.

Image below: "Room 555", a colorful painting of a hospital room from an aerial view.

From the artist: "I was a regular at UMass hospital as a kid. Room 555 was the back corner room on 5 East, the pediatrics floor. I was inpatient so often growing up the nurses there became family friends. When I had an upcoming hospitalization the nurses would try to coordinate for me to get that room because it was the quietest.

My love for painting started there."
