Triple Threat


Tree Landscape This weekend is your last chance to see three traveling shows in our "Treasures To Go" tour before they move to their next venues.

The Gilded Age: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum has been on view at the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University in Stanford, California. This beautiful landscape by Edward Mitchell Bannister is among the works featured in this exhibition.

Milton Avery's modern take on landscape is seen in Modernism and Abstraction: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This show is closing a popular run at the Allentown Art Museum in Pennsylvania.

And if you are interested in carvings made from trees rather than paintings of trees, take a look at Contemporary Folk Art: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum before it closes at the Tacoma Art Museum in Washington.
