This exhibition goes back five years ago! "The Sculptor's Voice" was guest curated by our friend and local sculptor, Bill Brown Jr. Did you get a chance to see it? Bill invited several artists from across the southeast to participate in this exhibition who explore sculpture in different ways.

Today's Throwback Thursday is a shout out to our friends at The Johnson Collection with their traveling exhibition "Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South from the Johnson Collection," that came to our museum back in 2015!  "Romantic Spirits" chronicled the cultural evolution and concepts of the romantic movement as it unfolded in fine art of the American South.

"The Art of Native Plants" was a group exhibition juried by artist Lynn Duryea, who before retiring, taught ceramics for many years in the Art Department at Appalachian State University in Boone. We had a lot of great submissions from artists around the state, all of whom made work featuring native plants that grow here in North Carolina at all times of the year. It was a bright, fun exhibition that featured artwork created using a diverse selection of mediums, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, wood, fibers, metals, and photography.

Four years ago, we were honored to be able to collaborate with Davidson, NC based artist Elizabeth Bradford and guest curator Carla Hanzal to bring Elizabeth Bradford: Time + Terrain to our museum. ⁣Did you get to see Elizabeth's beautiful work in this exhibition? ⁣

Here's a throwback honoring Wolf Kahn, an artist that some of you may remember from the exhibition we had back in 2014. Others may also know him from exhibitions you've seen of his work elsewhere.
