Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy provides a fresh perspective on modern sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976) and his influence on a new generation of artists. This exhibition pairs 32 master works by Calder with works by seven young artists: Martin Boyce, Nathan Carter, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Aaron Curry, Kristi Lippire, Jason Meadows, and Jason Middlebrook. Dont miss this rare opportunity to explore Calders influence on an exciting new generation of artists; to see their work side by side with that of Calder; and to compare the creative use of materials to define space and explore form, balance, color and movement.

Angels, Devils and the Electric Slide: Outsider Art from the Permanent Collection includes Outsider artists Minnie Black, the Rev. Howard Finster, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Mose Tolliver and Purvis Young. Outsider art refers to the visionary work of contemporary artists who have never had formal training. The artists in the exhibition hail from across the Southeastern United States, and their art ranges from painting to ceramics to sculpture in wood or metal. All of their works give voice to an interior worldthose personal fantasies, meditations on everyday life and unspoken fearsthat most people cannot put into words or images.
