Staff Picks
Through May 10, 2026Curating this exhibit has been an exercise in collaboration, which is one of our core values at the Museum. We began by asking each staff member to make a short list of some of their favorite works in the collection. Then, the curatorial team took them to see a few of those pieces. We asked the staff to look for artworks that were not already on display and would not be part of any upcoming exhibitions. A person’s taste in art is so uniquely personal and individual to who they are. This exhibition is not only an opportunity for you to get to know our staff, but it is also a chance to discover new pieces in the permanent collection—or perhaps to see old favorites in a new light.

Two of a Kind?

Tiffany Deater: What Lives Underneath
Starts November 8, 2025Through her video work, Tiffany Deater aims to connect the viewer with other forms of life, sometimes by journeying through their perspectives to help us reimagine our relationship with animals, the environment, and each other, and decentering the human perspective. The three videos in this exhibition explore how we empathize with other animals, how we value some over others, what insight we can gain from their world, and how to find our human place in the universe.
