SUMMARY:40 Years 40 Artists: An Anniversary Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the Museum’s 40th anniversary\, we are excited to announce this exhibition as a tribute to our collection. Throughout the past four decades\, we have diligently collected and preserved a diverse collection of artworks that encapsulates the cultural and historical significance of our region and the broader artistic community. Our collecting mission has been rooted in the belief that collecting art is not merely a task; it is a responsibility we hold for future generations. By ensuring that these works of art\, along with the narratives they convey\, remain accessible\, we are fostering a lasting connection between our community and the artistic expressions that define it. \nThis exhibition will not only showcase 40 exceptional artists but also feature a timeline that highlights significant events from the Museum’s history over the last 40 years. These artworks will spark memories of past shows\, programs\, and events\, allowing visitors to reflect on our history. \nWe invite you to explore these artistic contributions that resonate with our identity and inspire ongoing dialogue about our community’s journey. Join us in celebrating our past\, present\, and future as we honor the artists and stories that shape our collective experience. \nThis exhibition features old favorites\, never-before-seen artworks\, and recent acquisitions\, all from the Museum’s vault.

She completed her graduate studies at the University of Arizona\, where she received the MFA Fellowship for her work with large mixed media installations.

SUMMARY:Object of the Month: Madonna and Child
DESCRIPTION:Object of the Month \nFree for Members | Included with general admission for the general public \nReserve your spot at the Visitor Services desk.  \nJoin Museum Docents for an in-depth exploration of a single work of art. These 30-minute\, interactive gallery talks spark connections and conversation about the featured object’s history\, meaning\, and relationship to other works in the collection. \nGiovanni Francesco Barbieri\, Madonna and Child \nThis May\, as we honor the mothers in our lives\, join Master Docent Sherry Koopot for an exploration of Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri’s Madonna and Child. In Christian art\, Mary has long been depicted as the devoted mother of the infant Jesus. However\, in today’s context\, she represents far more-embodying maternal compassion\, motherhood\, and the strength of femininity.
