Birds & Beasts Animal Imagery in the Permanent Collection

Prompted by a recent generous gift of Mexican folk art by local collector Robert Bradley, this exhibition features images of domestic and wild animals from around the world. Organized by associate curator June Black and museum educator Arthurina Fears, Birds & Beasts supports our “Animals in Art” summer camp session and Spanish-language art lessons. Among the works featured in the exhibition are an Otomi embroidered textile and coconut masks from the Mezcala region of Guerrero State, as well as prints, photographs, paintings, and sculptures highlighting all manner of birds and beasts, from cats and cockatoos to doves and dogs
