Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute Museum of Art is primarily a collection of art of the United States. With the exception of people indigenous to this continent, we are a nation of immigrants. Many “American” artists, such as Thomas Cole, were actually born in other countries. In the arts, as in other areas of life, persons who have come to the United States have been inspired by their new home. This gallery is dedicated to showcasing aspects of the collection that reflect the rich tradition of artists who traveled to the United States as children or adults, developed their talent, and shared it for the appreciation of all.

Tommy Brown: Upstate is a retrospective look at the regional photographer’s decades-long study of his home in rural Central New York.

What makes a location welcoming, intriquing, or forbidding? Visit the Museum of Art’s special exhibition to explore artists’ intrepations of the spaces we inhabit.

Recent gifts by photographer Robert von Sternberg are on view for the first time, as well as the 10-lithograph portfolio Earth Projects, 1969, by Robert Morris (1931-2018), which is on loan from the collection of Frank Kolbert and Frank Farmer. This exhibition includes work by David Baskin, Isidro Blasco, Chris Irick, Emilio Sanchez, and Hollis Sigler, among others.

Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection is a spectacular presentation that features more than 60 objects, spanning more than 30 years of Tiffany’s prolific and celebrated career. The exhibition is an exploration of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and pure aesthetic beauty that also examines the themes of 19th-century women artisans and innovations in industrial technology. Exceptionally versatile, prolific, and popular, Tiffany worked in nearly all of the media available to artists and designers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—glass, ceramic, metal, jewelry, mosaics, enamel, and paint—using natural forms for his innovative designs.

The PrattMWP Gallery is pleased to host sculptor Jon Taylor (Russia, NY), and printmaker Taro Takizawa (Syracuse, NY)
