An opening reception, which will feature a talk by the artist, will be held from 5-7 p.m., Tuesday, May 26, in Mechanical Hall Gallery.

Newton and exhibition curator Cara Zimmerman Campbell, doctoral student in art history, will host a tour at noon on Thursday, June 11. Both events are free and open to the public.

Arranged around three series, The Art of Delineation highlights the techniques and images through which Newton addresses themes of self, race, memory and legacy. The exhibition follows Newton's artistic progression from the mid-1960s through 2008 and traces ideas that have followed him for more than four decades of teaching, art making and life.
