Current Exhibitions

Gallery wall full of paintings

Light: Donna Spaan's Contemporary Art Collection

What is light? Where does it come from? What can it reveal?

The works in the Donna Spaan Contemporary Art Collection are varied in their approach, aesthetic, medium, and conceptual, light-driven underpinnings. Yet together, they weave a journey of discovery.

On view: December 4 - February 14 

Japanese print by Sadao Watanabe hung on the gallery wall

Sadao Watanabe

Noah’s Ark is filled with tigers, oxen, and crickets; the Last Supper features sake wine and sea bream. When Jesus welcomes the children to him, they come wearing yukata kimono. Through Sadao Watanabe’s eyes, the Bible is reimagined in a Japan-shaped vision. A master of kappazuri, Watanabe’s meditative prints invite viewers to see Christ and the uniting story that leads to him anew.

On view: December 4 - February 14
