New Installation of Artworks in Museum

Hallway installation 2024 May (PDF of Labels)

Just outside of the museum’s studio classroom and administrative offices there is an installation of works on paper and a small weaving from the museum’s permanent collection now on view! These works take the place of the Prairie Printmaker works that had been installed in that space since last fall. Stop by and take a look sometime soon, as these works will likely only be on view through summer, getting swapped out in early fall (TBD).

There is also a new work on view in the adult classroom space, a work on paper by Dylan Mortimer (this takes the place of the Emmi Whitehorse). If you missed it back in 2017, we have video of Dylan speaking at the Dazzling Decade exhibition opening (he speaks second, starting at about minute 23).

 

Fun fact: the hallway is one of the best places to install these smaller scale light-sensitive works in the museum because it has almost no natural light exposure. It is also an area that gets a lot of foot traffic.

Video of dialogue between artist Ruben Castillo and curator Stuart Hinds now available!

If you missed the dialogue between artist Ruben Castillo (exhibiting in the Charlotte Street Fellows 2023 exhibition) and Stuart Hinds (curator of special collections at UMKC, including GLAMA) on March 7th, it’s now available!

the Charlotte Street Fellows exhibition closes April 14 so make sure to see the exhibition one more time before it closes!
