Expand Your World Through American Art

Artist and teacher Ambrose Webster was one of the most inventive colorists of the early twentieth century, and his palette is still shocking to viewers today. Join us through February 22 for E. Ambrose Webster: Pioneer Modernist. This groundbreaking exhibition reintroduces Webster’s unique contribution to the evolution of American art.

The fall–winter schedule also includes a showcase of exhibitions that emphasize the very best in American Art. The works of America’s foremost living artists come together in a new exhibition called American Idols: Andrew Wyeth and Jasper Johns. Their styles are very different, of course, but the thematic comparisons bring to light new insights into the work of both artists.

There’s also a thought-provoking exhibition of photographs from the Civil Rights movement by documentary photographer Bruce Davidson and a traveling exhibition by Charleston painter Gary Grier.

The Museum’s annual exhibition on book illustration, features the new work of David Macaulay. Be the first to see original images from Macaulay's new book, The Way We Work, which explains the mechanics of the human body.

For a look at the upcoming schedule, see our Calendar page.

The Museum is open Tuesday–Saturday from 11–5, remaining open until 8 on Thursday evenings. On Sundays, we're open from 1–5. Galleries are closed on Mondays and major holidays. Note: galleries will be closed for Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28.

Admission is always absolutely free.
