An exhibition by draftsman and painter Rico Lebrun will be on display through November in the Twentieth Century Gallery. Lebrun has been little studied since his death in 1964, but a recent revival of interest in figurative art, religious content, and expressionist paint handling has brought him back to the spotlight. Lebrun’s work often featured themes such as man’s inhumanity and man’s sacrifice. The work and the artists are described in preview of the exhibition curated from the Museum's permanent collection.

The installation of the Thomas Sayre exhibition required the collaboration of many people, services, and skills. Sayre’s work titled Arcanum is made of concrete and required a crew of 25 people, a 35-ton crane, and 3 days to get the outdoor sculpture set. Sayre’s work titled Aviary is a steel bar structure and was constructed on-site by the artist, a small crew, and volunteers in the North Carolina Gallery.
Sayre enjoys completing a project, but also collaboration process which is a creative, technical, and social event.
