The re:museum exhibition evolves once again, updating artworks and informational displays while continuing to promote a welcoming engagement with art and offering a peek behind-the-curtain at how our Museum operates. re:museum ∙ RE:TRACE maintains this education-forward approach while applying a new thematic umbrella. With re:museum ∙ RE:TRACE, viewers are invited to consider detailed linework and the path of the artists’ hands in the creation process.

 

Artworks on view represent new additions to our Digital Learning Gallery, including a hand-sewn mixed-media textile by Jane Cochran, Ralph Fletcher Seymour’s intricate, emotive etching work, the absurdist functionality of Charles Williams’ pencil holders, and much more. Each piece on view in re:museum ∙ RE:TRACE includes contextual background information, contemplative prompts, and activities for a variety of ages and art experience levels. In addition to the artwork on display, the exhibition also features insights into our institutional history and an inside look on how we exhibit and preserve works of art.
