Featured Exhibitions
On view at the Max Berk Textile Collection, Palatinate Museum (Heidelberg, Germany)
Abstract art uses the pure elements and principles of design to create emotions and thoughts in the viewer. Because it is so free and unbounded from the real world, the diversity of abstract art is truly stunning. In the way a poem distills a novel into a few words, let your abstract art offer the essence of an idea using the vocabulary of line, shape, rhythm, texture, color, value and composition.
On view at the Gadsden Arts Center & Museum (Quincy, Florida)
Birds are found all around the world. They remind us of ourselves yet are also able to fly up in the heavens. Artists around the globe respond to the birds they admire in myriad ways using a wide variety of materials and techniques.
Learn about how 60 master artists were inspired by birds to create glorious art. In the hands of these artists, the humblest materials: thread, paper, and fabric go through an alchemical transformation into incredible art. Immerse yourself in art that celebrates the birds which bring life into our landscapes and joy into our lives.

Our shared human history includes a violent and shameful component -- that of deliberate attempts to eradicate specific populations due to differences of culture, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression and race. Often motivated by those in power, collective trauma and tragedy are part of our past and present.

Nature produces an endless array of colors, shapes, and patterns that creatures use to fool the eye. These animals become visible only when they move or are in contrasting surroundings. Creatures may disguise themselves to blend in by changing color on demand or with the seasons, allowing plants to grow on them, or by evolving to look like something else.

Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between food and culture, featuring not only the bountiful gifts from nature, but a gift from the human hand. Combining innovative ingredients, colors, textures, and flavors creates dishes pleasing to both the palette and the eye.
