Exhibit Opening Reception

The Emerson will be celebrating two exhibit openings this September. Stephen Glueckert's "The Blind Men and the Elephant" will open in the Jessie Wilber Gallery and "Intersections of Trout and Art" an international juried group show will open in the Lobby and Weaver Room Galleries. Glueckert's series features 20 drawings in oil pastel, Keno crayon and cattle marker. They take inspiration from an ancient Chinese parable, which tells the story of six blind men's attempt to understand their contrasting ideas of what an elephant is. This exhibit is also the feature for our fall Schools in the Gallery, touring program. "Intersections of Trout and Art" is a collaborative project between the Emerson and the International Trout Congress. The first annual World of Trout meeting will be held at the Emerson October 2 - 6th, 2016. Two exhibits were jointly curated and contain 35 works by 25 local, national and international artists. Both exhibits will be on display through the 27th of November.
