May 24 2019 - Sep 1 2019

“Into a New West,” a summer contemporary art exhibition featuring nearly 50 works of art on loan from the Booth Museum of Western Art. Exploring cultural topics such as the environment, feminism, and social commentary, this exhibit showcases a shift from traditional representations to new ideologies and expressions of the West.

The exhibition includes artworks of “modern art” from 1960s to present that challenge the conventions of representation that are a hallmark of traditional Western art. 

Into A New West includes art produced in the present day; in addition, art that references or engages with the culture of the present day; and works that are made in a way that defines what the “present day” entails. 

These works are different from traditional Western art in method, medium, and approach.
