Visions of Our 44th President, a groundbreaking, collective art exhibit, was created to honor and celebrate the significance of the first African American President of the United States, Barack Obama.  Forty-four busts were created from a model that served as a blank canvas, giving each of forty-four contemporary artists from across the country free reign to creatively interpret this milestone in American history.  The Visions exhibit premieres at The Wright Museum before becoming its first national traveling exhibit, visiting prestigious museums, libraries, universities and galleries across the country.  At the conclusion of the tour, the exhibit will become a part of The Wright Museum’s permanent collection.  Visions of Our 44th President is guest curated by Ashley Whitfield.  Free with museum admission.

Tues - Sat 9 am - 5 pm | Sun 1 - 5 pm
