Home, Love, and Loss

Home, Love, and Loss is the third in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program.

The Amarillo Museum of Art announces the opening of Home, Love, and Loss, a deeply evocative exhibition that explores the cycles of family life and the universal threads of human connection. This exhibition will open on May 31, 2025 and run through September 14, 2025.

This exhibition brings together more than 66 works from the esteemed collections of Art Bridges, the Amarillo Museum of Art, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Art Museum of South Texas, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum.

This powerful collection of paintings, photographs, and works on paper, delves into the milestones and challenges of family and community life—from birth to aging, and from the bonds of joy to the fractures of loss. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how we form families and communities, how those relationships are disrupted by adversity such as illness, poverty, or immigration, and how they are fortified through love, celebration, and resilience.

Whether exploring memories of ancestors, the rupture of families, or the joys of chosen companionship, these artworks prompt us to reimagine home and humanity in the context of life’s inevitable transformations.
