Toying With Art

On View: March 13, 2009 - March 28, 2010

Toying with Art is an exhibition of toys designed and fabricated by artists. More than 50 artists from around the country have created toys in a wide variety of sizes, themes and styles for this exhibition. Running through the holidays, Toying with Art is sure to be fun for kids of all ages.

This project was supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources. Sponsored in part by Ann Sherman-Skiba and the Talking Phone Book, a publication of Hearst Holdings.

Kaleidoscope: Changing Views of the Permanent Collection

On View: May 15 - May 9, 2010

This exhibition features selected paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, photographs, furniture, decorative arts and other objects drawn from the museum's permanent collection. The exhibition's configuration will change throughout the year, as individual works are rotated. This approach is taken for several reasons: to protect fragile works on paper from prolonged exposure to light; to allow additional works from the collection to be exhibited; and to create or elicit new, unexpected meanings and associations between works of art and viewers.

The first installation of KALEIDOSCOPE will be organized by color, with works of art selected by and installed with works of similar or related palettes. The resulting juxtapositions are designed to yield unexpected and unusual relationships, as works of divergent periods, styles and subjects are seen together for the first time, related only by the artists' and artisans' choices of color. Subsequent installations may be organized by single-artist installations, themes or subject matter.

This exhibition received support from the Estate of Katherine Phillips.
