Francis M. Maguire Museum Opening Reception

​Evolving Freedoms: Exploring Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

​Join us for an opening reception and family day celebrating Evolving Freedoms, a new exhibition at the Maguire Art Museum! Enjoy art activities, refreshments, and explore works by the artists of Evolving Freedoms from 3–6 pm on Sunday, September 13.

​How do we define freedom in the 21st century? How has the pursuit of happiness changed in the face of personal, political, and cultural transformation? This thought-provoking exhibition will bring together regional contemporary artists whose work reflects on the ever-shifting meaning of freedom in today's world.

​Contemporary artists will exhibit photography and print-based work that reflects on the shifting landscape of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This exhibition seeks to explore how these foundational ideals are interpreted, challenged, and reimagined through personal experience, social movements, and collective memory.
