Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Chelsea Painters invite viewers to experience a collection of work shaped by shared curiosity, expressive freedom, and the subtle transformations that unfold when artists grow together. Each work in this exhibition reflects a distinct creative voice—yet together, these pieces form a harmonious tapestry of color, gesture, and imagination. Across diverse media and subjects, the artists draw strength from one another, finding inspiration in both their differences and their common dedication to pursuing excellence in their painting careers. The result is a vibrant celebration of community, creativity, and the joy that emerges when individual visions converge.
