Free Art Exhibitions at Grinnell College Museum of Art Now Open: William Villalongo and not one without water
The exhibition William Villalongo: Myths and Migrations opened Thursday, Jan. 25, at Grinnell College Museum of Art (GCMoA at Bucksbaum Center for the Arts, 1108 Park St.). The exhibition presents more than 30 paintings, collages, and signature velour paper cut-outs by Villalongo, who was a 2021 recipient of the Rome Prize in the visual arts, awarded by the American Academy in Rome. The exhibition not one without water is also now open, featuring works drawn from the Grinnell College Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Water’s paradoxical nature — life-sustaining and life-threatening, powerful and fragile, abundant and scarce, endangering and endangered — makes it a rich backdrop (if not the primary subject) for artists applying their own creative forces to one of life’s most essential and inscrutable elements. Learn more about the exhibitions and museum hours on our website.
