CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Rooted in Place

Kathryn Keller | June 5 - September 19 | Commons Gallery

Rooted In Place showcases oil and watercolor landscapes and interior scenes by Louisiana-based artist Kathryn Keller. Known for her southern landscapes, Keller most often illustrates scenes of her home, Inglewood Farm in Alexandria, Louisiana. Painting almost exclusively from life, Keller’s work captures both her physical surroundings and the energy of her working environment. Rooted in Place features a combination of large-scale oil landscapes of Keller’s farm across seasons, as well as softer watercolors depicting the interior of her home and other scenes from the South.

Embodied: The Power of Presence

Suzanne Scott Constantine & Lynne Scott Constantine June 5 - September 19 | West Wing Gallery

Embodied: The Power of Presence features the work of Outer Banks, NC-based artists Lynne Scott Constantine and Suzanne Scott Constantine. Through a combination of mixed media and interactive artwork, the artists invite visitors to investigate the idea of “embodiment” by thinking deeply about what living in your body at this particular moment feels like to you, and what it might predict for tomorrow. The various bodies on display in this exhibition represent stories, metaphors, and evocations of an interconnected space of creative thought. In the artists’ words, "The way we, as women artists, present these stories connects us to a tradition of women artists who step outside of classic figuration: surrealists, icon makers, craftswomen, visionaries."

  • Rachel Maxwell Moore Gallery

    Animals Permanent Collection Exhibition | Ongoing

    In art, animals have always been more than just pictures; they hold special meanings, emotions, and stories. Animals can be used to enhance and provide meaning to artworks by serving as symbols, narrative devices, emotional amplifiers, or cultural signifiers. Some of the artworks in this exhibition show animals as the primary focus. In other artworks, animals might not be the primary focus but still play an important role.

  • Kenneth Noland Gallery

    Permanent Collection Exhibition | Ongoing

    The Kenneth Noland Gallery celebrates the art and legacy of Black Mountain College, an innovative liberal arts college that operated between 1933 and 1957. Kenneth Noland, born in Asheville in 1924, attended Black Mountain College on the G. I. Bill from 1946 to 1948. He studied under Josef Albers and Ilya Bolotowsky, who introduced him to the work of artists inspired by geometry and color. Works featured in this gallery were chosen for their similar aesthetic interests in color and shapes.

  • The Parlor Gallery

    Permanent Collection Exhibition | Ongoing

    Used initially as a formal living room in the historic Flanagan Home side of the GMoA, this gallery includes examples of North Carolina Pottery from the GMoA Collection, as well as numerous works by self-taught and North Carolina-based artists, including an installation of sculptures by Outer Banks artist Annie Hooper, and a new acquisition by Durham-based artist Stacy Lynn Waddell.

  • North Carolina Pottery Displays

    Permanent Collection Exhibition | Ongoing

    The GMoA houses a significant collection of North Carolina pottery from across the state, with especially strong historic and contemporary examples of work from Jugtown Pottery in Seagrove, North Carolina. Jugtown Pottery was opened by Jacques and Juliana Busbee in 1917. They were influential here and elsewhere in Seagrove by introducing local North Carolina potters to international ceramic styles and glazes.
