From the Collection: Ethnicity and Identity as Themes in Art

In these images and objects, artists convey information about themselves, their respective personalities, their experiences and their world views. Several of the artists make use of self-portraiture as a traditional vehicle for expressing a sense of identity. This Arcade Gallery display also intentionally features a number of works in the museum’s collection by regional, indigenous artists. Art as self-expression becomes a meeting site where an artist shares personality and meaning with the viewer. Meanwhile, other artists use image making as a way to communicate information about our collective understandings of race, ethnicity, and identity. Sept. 7-Jan. 4; Mon-Sat 10 am-4 pm. In the Arcade Gallery.
