Exhibitions

The Gardner Museum offers new special exhibitions each season. Schedules are subject to change. All press inquiries should be submitted to press@isgm.org

Fall/ Winter 2024
October 10, 2024 - January 20, 2025  

Families are at the heart of the Gardner Museum’s fall exhibitions. But families are complicated. How might the depiction of these relationships through the lens of a camera or the stroke of a brush unearth tangled roots, memorialize joyous connections, or catalyze new creation? How might families spark artistic creativity? Three exhibitions from radically different artists relating distinct dynamics remind us of the importance of kin as inspiration in the past and present. This fall, join us for Manet: A Model Family; Mary Ellen Mark: A Seattle Family, 1983-2014; and Mickalene Thomas: Sandra, She’s a Beauty, 2009.
