Three new exhibitions are on tap at Hallie Ford Museum of Art, with an opening reception scheduled for Friday, February 1, 6-8 pm. The reception is free and open to the public.
“Yoruba Sculpture: Selections from the Mary Johnston Collection,” features ritual objects made by the Yoruba people of West Africa and will be view until March 16. It’s worth noting that this exhibit looks fantastic in the small space allotted, a testament to the talents of HFMA’s new exhibit designer, David Anderson.
“James Lavadour: The Properties of Paint,” showcases the nationally recognized Oregon artist known for his evocative and colorful process-oriented paintings that take the landscape of Eastern Oregon, where Lavadour lives, as both inspiration and subject. The exhibition will be up until March 30.
Small exhibition of prints and etching plates from Ashland painter and printmaker Betty LaDuke, express the artist’s longtime interest in the people and cultures of Africa. The energy-filled works are a great counterpoint to the Yoruba exhibit and can be seen until May 10.
