Current Exhibitions
Marilyn Murphy/Bob Trotman
Through March 18, 2012
The Museum is pleased to be presenting the first in a new series of recurring exhibitions focused on contemporary art with shared sensibilities. Connections: Marilyn Murphy/Bob Trotman features two critically acclaimed artists who, although working with different media, both convey a sense of dislocation and loss in their works. Their art pieces focus on retro-attired figures who are caught in unusual circumstances.
Through February 26, 2012
Southern Comfort presents selected photographs from the Museum’s collection that underscore the rich history of the South and tell compelling stories about its unique people, places and traditions. Many were added to the collection in the 1980s and early 1990s through a series of original exhibitions curated by local photographic archivist and historian Frances Robb, wife of former Museum director David Robb. Featured artists include William Christenberry, Kathryn Tucker Windham, Pinky Bass, James Morris, John Reese, and Caroline Davis.
As the nation’s most culturally distinct region, the American South has long been a magnet for artistic exploration and documentation. Many artists have chosen the medium of photography as a vehicle to convey their unique impressions and experiences of the region, because of the camera’s ability to so vividly record reality.
Selections from the Museum’s outstanding collection of Buccellati Silver Animals and American Studio Glass will be on continuous, rotating view throughout the year.
The exciting and fun interactive education galleries, ART LAB and A Walk Through Time will be on continuous view. ART LAB provides hands-on activities which instruct on the basic elements of art. A Walk Through Time takes visitors on a journey through major events in art history and includes replicas of famous works of art.
