Featured in Forbes, WSJ, and more, we’re reflecting on past exhibit “Somewhere To Roost” at American Folk Art Museum. Featuring over 60 works, including paintings, textiles, photographs, and sculptures, Somewhere to Roost explored the ways that artists evoke and construct ideas of “home.” The exhibition explored the importance of rest, comfort, and safety — which are more important now than ever. This exhibit aligned with our American Art Program's goal to support creative expression and visual arts-centered dialogues about the past, present, and future of the United States. (fb)

CLOSING SOON: “Of Salt and Spirit: Black Quilters in the American South” at Mississippi Museum of Art closes on May 18, 2025. This exhibition features over 50 handmade and machine-stitched quilts from MMA’s permanent collection, including Crossroads Quilters, Gwendolyn Magee, and several collected by American photographer Roland L. Freeman on his travels. Curator Dr. Sharbreon Plummer combines thorough research, innovative interpretation, and community engagement to form a cohesive, experiential study of American art through a Black feminist lens. The exhibition and the accompanying publication seek to illuminate the processes and practices of Black Southern quilters and demystify cultural narratives assigned to their artistry while celebrating the enduring impact of quilting on communities and generations.
