Art is life — but especially at the NC Museum of Art. The museum’s latest exhibit, Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention, explores that notion and more through abstract visuals.
The exhibition showcases the work of Grace Hartigan, an artist who garnered national attention in the 1950s and was inspired by poets like Pulitzer winner James Merrill and Daisy Alden. Over 40 of Hartigan’s pieces are available for viewing and will remain at NCMA until Aug. 10, with an admission price of $20.
If you’re an art lover or would like to interact more deeply with the connection, mark your calendar for the free Grace Hartigan and the Poetry of Painting event at NCMA on July 9, where Jared Ledesma, curator of 20th-century and contemporary art, will lead an in-depth discussion centering the collection.
