Compelling Progressions: Explorations in Encaustic

May 8 – September 4, 2016 -  We hope this exhibition will bring a great deal of new work to our visitors, inspire the artists in their own creativity and expand our mission to a new group of talented artists. The Art Complex Museum’s collection now numbers over eight thousand pieces, the majority in four areas; Shaker Furniture, American Paintings, Works on Paper and Asian Art. We continue to collect and have acquired work directly from artists, from galleries and at auction, as well as from our own exhibitions. A number of artists in our collection are still very active, making and exhibiting work. For this exhibition we invited a dozen artists currently in the collection to show new work. In turn, we asked each of them to invite an artist of their own choosing.
