    Molten Metals

    On View Now

    For centuries, artists have pushed the boundaries of metalwork, using heat, force, and ingenuity to shape this powerful medium into stunning works of art.

    Liminal In Nature

    Temporarily Off View
    Fall 2025 Reopening date to be announced soon


    Liminality is what one might think of as an intermediate, transitional, or in-between state of being. Deriving from the Latin word “limen,” it roughly translates to a threshold. Something liminal in nature is on the threshold of change – not quite before, not quite after, but a fluid, in-between of its own –existing between two or more points of reference.

    Guerrilla Girls: 40 Years Ago

    Upcoming: Spring 2026

    Forty years ago, in response to the exhibition An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in which only thirteen of 165 artists were female-identifying, a group of artists and creative minds birthed an anonymous collective to call attention to art-world inequities.
