2016 - 2017 Exhibition Calendar
The Arnot Art Museum's 2016-2017 Exhibition Season opens on Tuesday, 6 September 2016. Continuing exhibitions can be found in the Picture Gallery and Cultures Gallery. A COLLECTOR'S VISION and SHADOWS OF THE PHARAOHS feature founding works of the Museum's Collection, as well as artifacts from Ancient Egypt and East Asia.

This year opens with THREE AMERICANS and features the work of three living, contemporary artists; Inga Kimberly Brown, David Higgins and Jack Radetsky. Brown's 2- and 3-dimensional work is a personal examination of identity and spirituality. Higgins' work examines the contemporary landscape of the Louisiana Bayous and the Elmira area. Radetsky's paintings are interior studies of light, and it's absence.

THE HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL: FROM THE COLLECTIONS, is a key component of the Museum's Educational Programming. This survey of breath-taking scenes of the American wilderness in New York State will be on view until mid-November.

The early and mid-winter season features the work of local artists in the HOLIDAY ART MARKET, a survey of new works from members of the Elmira Regional Art Society and a body of juried works from the Region's finest student artists participating in the 74TH SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS.

A highlight of this exhibition season is 23 PAIRS: CONSIDERING AN ART HISTORY 101 EXERCISE. This exhibitions joins twenty-three core works from the Arnot Art Museum's Collections with masterworks from private collections, museums and galleries across the United States. Pairs are sometimes subtle and, at others, jar the viewer's senses. Each of the pairings pushes the viewer to contemplate the connections from one work to the next.

This season's feature exhibitions are balanced by fresh survey's the Contemporary and American Collections. SELECTED WORKS OF THE CONTEMPORARY COLLECTIONS can be viewed in the Falck Overlook Galleries from September to January, while AMERICAN ART: FROM THE COLLECTIONS will be installed in the East Gallery from mid-March to June.
