NewArt Northwest Kids: The Road Not Taken

February 10, 2016 to May 29, 2016

NewArt Art Northwest Kids, our annual exhibition of K–12 student art, returns to the Education Corridor Galleries. This year’s theme, “The Road Not Taken,” explores students’ visual depictions and definitions of their lives, travel, or hopes for the future. Students have been encouraged to read Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and consider the ideas conveyed to them through the poet’s words. The art created addresses the broad theme of choices made in life, travel, or exploration, including real or imaginary outcomes that can be expressed in visual form through paintings, photographs, prints, digital art, illustration, and collage. NewArt Northwest Kids is made possible through support from the Cheryl and Allyn Ford Educational Outreach Endowment, Dr. Michael Balm and Dee Carlson, and RosaLinda Case.

Artists will be honored at an exhibition reception on Saturday, May 21, 11 a.m.–12 p.m

Schnitzer Cinema: Wildness

The personal films and video installations created by the artist Wu Tsang explore issues of transgender identity; they have been shown at MoMA and as part of both the 2012 Whitney Biennial and 2012 New Museum Triennial. Rooted in the tropical underground of Los Angeles nightlife, Wildness is a documentary portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic bar in the MacArthur Park area that has been home for Latin/LBGT immigrant communities since 1963.
