Upcoming Exhibitions

Inspired by a major gift to the permanent collection, Tracey Adams: The Beauty of Transience celebrates the last twenty years of the artist's practice. Rooted in Japanese aesthetics, Tracey Adams's work explores daily practice as a mindfulness tool, encouraging viewers to embrace change and impermanence and find peace in life's natural rhythms. This exhibition includes Adams's encaustic, ink, paper, and mixed media works.
