Ringling College of Art and Design’s Fine Arts and Visual Studies Department Head Joe Fig was featured on the CBS morning show, Great Day Connecticut, for his traveling exhibition Contemplating Vermeer, which is now on view at the New Britain Museum of American Art. The exhibit was first shown at Sarasota Art Museum and curated by Senior Curator Rangsook Yoon, Ph.D.
During the segment, Fig gave a short tour of the exhibition, which includes an additional painting depicting a scene from the New Britain Museum of American Art.
Contemplating Vermeer features small-scale paintings inspired by the 2023 Rijksmuseum Vermeer exhibition in Amsterdam. These works depict museum-goers closely engaging with Vermeer’s intimate scenes. They continue Fig’s decade-long Contemplation series that shifts focus between the art, its viewers, and the gallery spaces they occupy.
The exhibition is currently on view at the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain, Connecticut, until January 11, 2026.
