Corridor Gallery and the Sara Bedrick Gallery
This new display of the Museum’s collection tells the story of The Dorsky from a variety of perspectives, making space for traditionally marginalized voices. Exhibiting collection highlights and audience favorites alongside new acquisitions and commissions, A Living Collection presents the collection as a living entity, continuously evolving and shaped by the viewer's interpretation.
Drawing connections between artworks and considering how their meanings continuously evolve with the viewer's response, a series of thematic pathways are presented which link works across time period, medium, and style. Along these pathways we invite you to find your own way and make connections from our contemporary moment into the past, from your life to the artists’ creations, enjoying the universal and timeless potential of art.
Identity and the Body:
What can the figures and faces shown here tell us about the artists’ experience and our shared human histories?
Ecology and Natural Forms:
How have artists used nature in their work to express humanity’s evolving relationship to the natural world?
Social Justice:
How can visual art be a tool of activism and social change?
Art in the Everyday:
What kinds of unexpected meanings and stories can we uncover in everyday objects and materials?
