Thirtieth Anniversary Treasures is a special exhibition at the Stark Museum of Art celebrating the Museum’s thirtieth anniversary. The exhibition offers a new look at the breadth and depth of the museum’s collections and will feature works of art never before displayed to the public. The exhibition will include more than 80 works of art, including new acquisitions by Thomas Moran and Grafton Tyler Brown, the first African-American artist represented in the collection.
The exhibition will be divided into five unique sections that focus on the art of a particular artist or region. Featured artists include Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, Grandma (Anna Robertson) Moses, John Gould, George Catlin, and Julian Onderdonk. Works from these artists range from a glowing portrayal of Venice, Italy, to illustrations published in the official report of Charles Darwin’s expedition on the Beagle.
To help children engage in the exhibition, the museum will have a children’s activity area. A coloring exercise, a magnet board game, and a mix-match flip book will relate to the works of art on view in the exhibition.
The Stark Museum of Art is open to the public at no charge Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM – 5 PM. For more information, call 409.886.ARTS (409.886.2787) or read the exhibition press release. The Stark Museum of Art is located at 712 Green Avenue, Orange, Texas.
