Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part. <<less

The Secret Language of Animals explores the roles of animal imagery in art by focusing on works in which animals function as symbols and spirit guides or serve as an integral part of the meaning or narrative. The exhibition will pair historical and contemporary artworks so that visitors can trace the changing roles animals have played throughout art history and across a variety of media, from painting and sculpture to jewelry and video. Artworks will be drawn primarily from the museum's permanent collection with select loans. Organized by Tacoma Art Museum. <<less

Echoes, Fire, and Shadows is a mid-career survey of Preston Singletary’s work which combines two of the Northwest’s most prominent artistic influences—traditional Native American designs and the medium of glass. For nearly two decades, Singletary has melded the symbols, patterns and legends of his Tlingit heritage with the dynamism of the Studio Glass movement, creating a distinctive and powerful body of work. The exhibition includes 54 works including icons of Singletary’s oeuvre and examples of his significant collaborative experiences. The signature piece of the exhibition is Clan House, a 16 x 10-foot cast-glass triptych commissioned for the Museum’s Permanent Collection. <<less

How do museums decide what artworks to choose for the permanent collection? The process is complex, but at its most basic, the works in the collection need to relate to each other in a variety of ways. Speaking Parts explores this concept through a selection of works from the museum’s collection organized around a mixed-media construction by Northwest artist Dennis Evans. All other artworks in the gallery relate to this work in at least one way. They are grouped under three broad topics: What is a Painting? Materials and Process, and Texts and Symbols. Visitors are encouraged to look for other connections within and between the groups, exploring how artworks can play different roles depending on the context in which they are placed. A notebook in the gallery offers visitors the opportunity to create their own written “conversations” between the works on view. <<less

Kids Design Glass is a new exhibition that celebrates the imagination of children with 52 glass sculptures designed by kids and crafted by professional artists in the Museum of Glass Hot Shop. The Kids Design Glass education program, from which these creations originated, illustrates the symbiotic relationship between designer and glassblower. A child draws a design—generally a fantastical creature—names it, and writes a brief explanation or story. The Museum’s Hot Shop Team selects one design each month and transforms the two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional sculpture. As the designer, the child directs the artists as they make two sculptures—one for the child to take home and one for the Museum’s Permanent Collection. The original drawings, artist statements and photographs from the Hot Shop will be displayed alongside each piece in this exhibition. <<less
