This exhibition will be organized in three sections: 

1. The Road to Impressionism at Home and Abroad, which will present the development and exchange that nurtured the iconic style on the western side of the Atlantic

2. The East Coast: Urban Life and its Escapes, a selection of paintings that reinforce the uncritical treatment of these dichotomous spaces with a focus on instilling an unsullied quiet to both

3. California Landscapes, a section which will feature how both East- and West Coast artists treated subjects of the west, primarily through capturing its iconic sun-soaked atmosphere. 

The exhibition will include approximately 17 paintings and includes works by Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, John Henry Twachtman, Guy Rose and William Wendt.


This exhibition presents a selection of paintings from LACMA’s collection, including works by Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, John Henry Twachtman and William Wendt.

This exhibition, drawn entirely from the collection of the Reading Public Museum, explores the path to Impressionism through the nineteenth century and the complex relationship between French Impressionism of the 1870s and 80s and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed.

More than sixty-five paintings and works on paper help tell the story of the new style of painting which developed at the end of the nineteenth century—one that emphasized light and atmospheric conditions, rapid or loose brushstrokes, and a focus on brightly colored scenes from everyday life.

Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Victor Vignon, among others, who exhibited in the official Impressionist exhibitions in Paris in the 1870s and 80s. Among the earliest American artists to embrace the style were John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Frank W. Benson. A host of American artists who absorbed the style by the turn of the century including Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, William Paxton, Chauncey Ryder, and Guy Wiggins, are highlighted in the exhibition.

This exhibition explores the path to Impressionism and the complex relationship between French Impressionism and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed.

In Praise of Folly: Five Artists after Philip Guston

, was a special exhibition on display in Missoula from January 25 through September 21, 2019. It featured Guston’s canvas alongside new works by artists 

The artists were selected because of a conceptual or aesthetic affinity for Guston’s art and the expectation that the results would shed a new light not only on each artist’s individual practice, but also on the many ways Guston’s work might resonate with contemporary art. The responses to the political and racial content of Cigar and to Guston’s artistic style offered an exhibition that was varied in media and scale, with surprising conversations between the works of art. These five artists evoke, investigate, and complicate Guston’s artistic legacy, demonstrating the continuing power of his work as a touchstone for contemporary art.

The museum developed a variety of exciting and diverse programs which helped to expand audiences, incorporate interdisciplinary approaches to art, and create new community partnerships. Programs also enhanced the museum’s commitment to its core values artist-driven projects, contemporary art, diversity, risk taking, and difficult conversations with civility.

 was the basis for launching a new distance-learning program, 

, which uses an interactive, online platform to engage rural and tribal schools when access to the physical museum is prohibitive. Students participate in real-time, interactive experiences in MAM’s galleries and connect directly with artists and art educators, including through an inquiry-based tours and hands on art projects. The museum successfully piloted this program with two classrooms from St. Ignatius Elementary School in St. Ignatius, Montana.

 (1969) as a single object loan to to hang in their collection galleries. Once the work was in the museum – and through conversations with Art Bridges – 

 inspired the museum team to invite five nationally known artists with ties to their region to respond to Guston’s painting.
