Exhibition Receptions at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
Join us at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art for a joyous opening reception on October 23 from 5–9 p.m. All of our new exhibitions and installations will be on view. See work by local, national, and international artists who celebrate visual art as a tool for self-expression and resistance in the face of structured power.
The exhibitions will include—
