Exhibitions
Familiar Faces & New Voices: Surveying Northwest Art offers a chronological walk through Northwest art history, illustrated with the works of well-known artists from each time period as well as lesser-known figures. Some sections in the exhibition will change regularly to offer in-depth looks at original voices and fresh stories. Visitors can encounter different works and ideas each time they visit during this long-running visual exploration of how Northwest art has evolved. Come experience and celebrate the rich artistic heritage of our region.
