Abstract:
The newest addition to the North Carolina Museum of Art’s collection of outdoor art is a functional piece of art. The Lowe’s Park Pavilion was designed by Mike Cidndric and Vincent Petrarca of Raleigh to be a work of art but also to be used, experienced, walked through, touched, and as a shelter. This sculptural pavilion offers Park visitors a beautiful sheltered place to stop, rest, and reflect. The appearance of the shelter changes with the time of day and light reflected off of it and it will be used by staff as a place for the outdoor teaching of art.

Abstract:
A preview for the Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism exhibit details why landscapes were so popular with impressionist painters during the 19th and 20th centuries. As people began to move to major cities with industrialization, people often found themselves cut off from nature and traditional ways of life. As a result, these paintings provided a comfort, some solace, and a moment’s fantasy for viewers where they could imagine such beautiful, peaceful places. Several paintings are pictured as examples and the scope of the exhibition is previewed.
