THIS MONTH at MARYHILL
We're Gearing-Up for a Fabulous 70th Anniversary Season
We're getting everything lined-up for a special season which opens with a retrospective of the 70 years since the founding of Maryhill Museum of Art. The opening exhibit will focus on some of the most cherished objects in the collection. The exhibit will run from opening day on March 15 though May 31.
As part of the 70th anniversary, the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition will feature works from the permanent collection. This exhibit runs from May 15 through October 3.
Starting June 12 and running through September 6, William Morris: Native Species comes to Marythill Musuem. This is a part of an exploration of glass art from the George R. Stroemple Collection and features 38 glass art pieces inspired by the plants and animals of the Pacific Northwest. During the first week of the exhibit, Tacoma's Museum of Glass will bring its Mobile Hot Shop to Maryhill providing an educational look at the process of making art glass objects.

More than a look at comics, this exhibit will explore the realm of the graphic novel and the art of illustrated storytelling. The exhibit will draw especially from the burgeoning scene of graphic novelists and comic illustrators in the Portland area.
