Presented in Whiteman Hall

TICKETS: Free for Members | Included with general admission for the general public

The Collection: Dutch Art Expanded pairs landscape, portraiture, interior, and still life paintings with prints and decorative art objects from the collection of Phoenix Art Museum. Alongside historical works from the Dutch Baroque period, the installation features works by Arizona-based artists Rachel Bess and Alanna Airitam, whose practices are inspired by hidden histories and aesthetic concerns associated with the 17th-century movement. Hear from Virginia Treanor, Senior Curator at the National Museum for Women in the Arts, who will highlight 17th century Dutch women artists.

This event is hosted in partnership with FOCUS on European Art, a membership-based 501(c)(3) support organization that promotes education in the arts, with special emphasis on European art and art history.

The Collection: Dutch Art Expanded is organized by the Phoenix Art Museum and curated by Rachel Sadvary Zebro, Associate Curator of Collections, with Destiny Montoya, Association of Art Museum Directors Curatorial Intern.

The Collection: Dutch Art Expanded is made possible through the generosity of FOCUS on European Art and an anonymous donor. All exhibitions at Phoenix Art Museum are underwritten by the Phoenix Art Museum Exhibition Excellence Fund, founded by The Opatrny Family Foundation with additional major support provided by Joan Cremin.
