Summer 2012

September 6 – October 6
While it may seem to be stating the obvious, artists make artwork, a process of labor, and also create artwork that depicts labor. Whether it is scenes of farming, fishing and logging in prints created by noted educator and artist Robert Von Neumann or WPA textile designs, our state has a rich history of work and working people.

October 17 – November 17, 2012
Over the past few years, many have pointed to the supposed end of the world as seen in the Maya calendar. Observers look to an end point of December 21, 2012. This exhibit, scheduled to take place before that end, will look at both historic and contemporary artists who have illustrated The End.

These are some of the works that will be on display in the artWORKS exhibit.
