The museum’s docents discuss the special exhibition Bridget Riley: Perceptual Abstraction. This exhibition is the largest survey in the United States in over twenty years of the British abstract artist Bridget Riley. For seven decades Riley has explored line, form, shape, pattern, and color to create dynamic works of art that pulse, shift, and glow with energy and movement. Our docents will discuss the exhibition, Riley’s history, and her influences over this impressive career.

Topography is central to William Hogarth’s canonical progress series, in which London settings play a decisive narrative role. Lesser-known works by the artist, however, also engage with topographical representation. Pierre Von-Ow’s online exhibition “William Hogarth’s Topographies” considers the artist’s illustrations of national and colonized geographies beyond the metropole. Among international topographical views are Hogarth’s illustrations of Sápmi in the Scandinavian north, referred to at the time as “Lapland.”

View team-built sculptures that use cans to raise awareness about our shared connection to food and the issues around hunger and food scarcity in our community.

Please join us to celebrate the opening of “We are Everywhere: Lesbians in the Archive.” Curator Gabrielle Colangelo will provide a tour of this exciting exhibition and will be available for questions and conversation over light refreshments afterward. No registration is necessary.

Alden grew up primarily in the western United States with a year in New Zealand. She is an entirely self taught artist with no formal training. At the age of 46, a career criminal, who preyed upon women for money, insinuated himself into her life and began a campaign of systematic, escalating terror. After 7 months of inept local law enforcement involvement, Ms Alden was forced to defend herself and her children with deadly force. Thirteen years into a fifteen sentence, the Utah state legislature completed a sentencing audit and ordered her immediate release.
