This exhibition, organized by The Contemporary Museum, surveys the work of Lenore Tawney, who has long been acknowledged as a pioneer in the development of contemporary fiber art. Her groundbreaking weavings helped move fiber works off the wall to become three-dimensional, environmental and sculptural, and her collages/assemblages transform humble materials and techniques into beautiful and profound works of art.

Organized by the University of New Mexico Art Museum, this exhibition surveys the work of Rick Dillingham (1952-1994), who in his 20-year career established a reputation as one of the finest contemporary American ceramic artists. Dillingham is particularly known for his simple handbuilt forms which were fired and broken, the fragments decorated with glazes, slips, stains and metallic leaf, then reassembled to make elegant vessels resembling patchwork puzzles.

Rick Mills, Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Hawai'i-Mānoa and chair of the department's glass program, has established a reputation for pushing the limits of glass, expanding beyond conventional expectations of what the material can become or do. This exhibition presents recent works which explore man's propensity to collect, store, preserve and hide treasured objects and his fascination with artifacts or manmade curiosities.
