Spartanburg Art Museum (SAM) presents
[create]ures: animals in contemporary art
an exhibition of contemporary art dedicated to and inspired by the animal kingdom.
November 21 2019 - February 9 2020 | Tues-Sat 10am-5pm Sun 1-5pm
Animals have stirred and fueled the human imagination since we began making art over forty thousand years ago. Perhaps it is our reliance on them for our survival, or perhaps it is our deep reverence of their strength and beauty, or perhaps it is the knowledge that our ecological habits have caused species to go extinct. Regardless the motivation, our fascination hasn’t waned. The work in this exhibition represents our continued affection for animals, both real and imagined.
For more information, contact our Associate Curator, Ashleigh Shuler, by email at apayne@spartanarts.org or call 864.582.7616 x 254.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by The Arkwright Foundation, Bagwell Fence, Santo Lubes, the Sikanas Family Charitable Fund, Kerin Hannah, Susu + George Dean Johnson Jr, Margaret + George Nixon, Bob's Car Wash, Wakefield Automotive Group, and Barnet Development.
