William Morris: Early Rituals
June 22 - September 29, 2024
Internationally acclaimed for his compelling work with glass, William Morris has blazed a trail in the American Studio Glass Movement for his unique ability to imbue his sculptures with a sense of alluring mystery, suspended time, and ancestral oneness with the natural world. William Morris: Early Rituals presents a selection of works created by the artist from the mid-1980s to early 1990s—a time during which Morris experimented with innovative glassblowing techniques, ancient forms, and dazzling surfaces as he honed his poetic vision. These works are a prelude to the sculptural works of the following two decades which garnered him international acclaim as a glass artist.

At the Seam: The Museum of Northwest Art’s Permanent Collection
February 3, 2024 - January 12, 2025
At the Seam: The Museum of Northwest Art’s Permanent Collection is an ongoing engagement with the collection as the place of contact of the many artistic identities of the region. The exhibition asks to look not only at the individual works but also at the ‘seams,’ where works representing different artistic trends and cultural identities come in touch with each other. When they come in contact with each other, these works tell stories of coexistence, contrast, and difference within the social fabric of the Northwest region, past and present.
