Public Free Day — Tues., June 19

From Honoring a Legacy.

Earlier this month, our spring multi-disciplinary project Resilience closed—which included Terry Maker: Reckoning and WPA-era photos in Introducing America—making room for the exciting upcoming summer exhibitions, which include works by Scott Johnson and James Turrell! Although those the Turrell and Johnson exhibitions do not open until July, there is a lot to see in the first floor galleries now:
