I went to see the exhibit at the museum at 600 N. Woodland Blvd on Friday and was given a free pass to the exhibit at 100 N. Woodland. Woodland is the main thoroughfare that runs through town.
600 - They were showing a Florida artist collection of permanent and "on loan" pieces on the first floor and a Latin/South American collection on the second. The Florida collection had more breadth than depth. The show cased some jewelry artist. Check out the bronze that resembles a found art piece. you won't believe it's metal. The "Latin" collection - I was going to say had more depth, but, it also had photography, paintings and sculpture. I especially liked an arist (I think Mexican) called Jesus Leuus. Some creep eyes on his figures. Very evocative. There was also an interesting Costa Rican sculpturess. Cost = $5. Ends January 5, 2014.
100 - They were showing a collection of "small" paintings from the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio). I think the earliest piece was mid-century 1800's. It was mostly artists from the North East with some South West and a few local (Ohio) boys tossed in. It's always nice to focus on lesser known artists and schools that you usually pay little attention to in the bigger museums. They did have Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Motherwell for you contemporary nuts. And Grandma Moses and Edward Hopper for you historians. I'm not sure when this ends.
