Reception for Kelly Boehmer and Summer Wheat exhibition: 'Character Study'

Join us for a reception celebrating "Character Study," an exhibition featuring artists Kelly Boehmer and Summer Wheat (M.F.A., painting, 2005), on view through Sunday, July 2, 2017.

While both artists trained as painters, their figurative two- and three-dimensional works undermine traditional categorizations of artistic media, and instead exist at the intersection of painting, sculpture and fibers. Boehmer and Wheat accentuate the physicality of their media, and these artistic approaches are evident in their texturally rich assemblages and heavy paint applications.

This event is held in conjunction with two other commencement events: Jazz at the Museum and a screening of "Beauty and the Beast" (2017).

Gallery hours:
Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, Noon to 5 p.m.
Sunday, Closed

The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
