Current Exhibits

Now open through September 19, 2010

The Art of Caring: A Look at Life Through Photography is comprised of more than 200 works exploring the moments that shape our being, from intimate memories to historic tragedies. Renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz sets the tone with a preface made up of images hand-picked from her archive to illustrate the exhibit’s seven thematic components: Children and Family, Love, Wellness, Disaster, Caregiving and Healing, Aging and Remembering. Area organizations who play a caring role in our community will participate as Caring Partners in conjunction with the exhibit. Enjoy these special events and programs. All programs held in the exhibit are free for members, and included with admission to the museum for non-members.
