Current Exhibitions
Rooted in the deep traditional art of Pennsylvania, the regional collection of the
Phillips Museum highlights the distinctive and colorful ways that immigrant populations
celebrated their native countries’ stylistic heritage. This exhibition focuses on
the material culture of the Southeast region of Pennsylvania and the processes used
to create the ceramics, metalwork, furniture, painting, and textiles that are part
of the fabric of 18th and 19th-century Lancaster. Combining data, material culture, and advocacy, F&M faculty created a variety of temperature
tapestries. The tapestries are color-coded, knitted wall hangings depicting the changes
in average yearly temperatures for a given geographical region. The primary goal of
this project is to create a striking visual display depicting the unmistakable effects
of anthropogenic climate change in the form of changing temperatures. Anne Marchand’s abstract paintings reflect a range of perspectives: images of deep
space, views from airplanes and automobiles, perceptions of manmade textures and patterns
all distilled together. The artist’s intention is to actualize beauty and joy in the
tangible form of a painting. This exhibition is supported in part by the DC Commission
on the Arts and Humanities, which receives support from the National Endowment for
the Arts This exhibition, highlighting landscapes from the Phillips Museum’s permanent collection,
provides visitors with an opportunity to look at the works and focus on their own
interpretation. Curated by Janie M. Kreines, Curator of Exhibitions & Engagement at
the Phillips Museum of Art, the landscapes represent many styles, media, and various
times and places. They challenge us to call upon our own unique life experience. Do
the landscapes spark an emotion, trigger a memory, or perhaps inspire you to write
a poem? Ties That Bind focuses on photography within the Phillips Museum of Art’s permanent
collection, highlighting moments in time and capturing a variety of connections. Many
inspired by tumultuous social and political worldwide events, the images reflect the
wide range of relationships that human beings may experience during their lifetime.Ingrained: Celebrating Pennsylvania's Cultural Heritage
