Polly Thayer Starr Visiting Studio Artist
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
25 Evans Way, Boston, MA

August 1, 2026 - Oct 10, 2026

I’m honored to have the opportunity to draw inspiration from the museum’s collection and exhibitions for my own creative explorations, while collaborating with the museum to develop engaging studio experiences for the public.

I hope you’ll join me for a very special Free First Thursday on September 3 from 5–8 pm, when I’ll be exhibiting a selection of my photographs that explore themes of revelation and concealment—ideas that also resonate throughout the museum’s exhibition, The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt.

Through October 10, scroll-making workshops will be offered during the museum’s Saturday Studio Drop-In Hours, led by me on select dates (August 22nd and October 10th) and by the museum’s Studio team at other times. Using the exhibition as a starting point, we’ll explore materials, storytelling, and creative expression. Come make your own scroll or contribute to the Community Scroll, an evolving communal artwork that will continue to transform throughout my residency.

Charles River Composition
Group exhibition
Curated by Lauren Graves
The Boston Athenaeum
Summer 2027
10½ Beacon Street
Boston, MA

I'm honored to be included in Charles River Composition, a group exhibition at the Boston Athenaeum showcasing the work of 48 photographers who participated in a year-long collaborative project conceived and led by Lisa McCarty. From the spring equinox of 2025 to the spring equinox of 2026, we explored the Charles River across its 308-mile journey, creating a collective portrait of a single river through diverse photographic perspectives.

Curated by Lauren Graves, the exhibition brings together work from all 48 participants, celebrating a year of sustained observation, collaboration, and artistic exploration. More information will be announced in the coming months.

Thankful for grants and support from the following institutions: Mass Cultural Council, Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Concord Cultural Council and the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, Hadassah Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University, the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, and the Anolic Family Awards.
