About the exhibitions:

• Fresh Air: Inflatable Sculptures: June 19– September 6, 2026. Fresh Air is a bold exploration of inflatable sculpture, showcasing soft materials and form. This exhibition invites viewers to engage with art that is both playful and deeply reflective. Expect the unexpected in this dynamic celebration of form, space, and imagination. Included are Andy Warhol’s immersive and magical Silver Clouds (on view through Sept 26, 2026, in Studio One Gallery) alongside contemporary artist Nick Cave’s large sculptural installation Augment, which transforms the gallery into a site of collective joy and reflection.

• Andy Warhol: Silver Clouds: June 19 – September 27, 2026. Silver Clouds, a magical installation by the world’s preeminent Pop artist, Andy Warhol. The Studio One gallery is transformed into an interactive art experience, as roughly 80 floating silver balloons fill the space, enticing viewers to interact with the objects and the space in an entirely new way. Playful yet profound, this exhibition captures Warhol’s fascination with repetition, celebrity, and mass production—while inviting visitors to step inside one of Pop Art’s most iconic and interactive works.

• Rooted in Memory: The Gullah Geechee Vision of Jonathan Green: June 19– January 24, 2027. In Rooted in Memory: The Gullah Geechee Vision of Jonathan Green, Jonathan Green’s vibrant paintings serve as both a celebration of culture and a poignant meditation on history and community. Drawing from his Gullah Geechee heritage, this exhibition brings together a selection of Green’s paintings in conversation with traditional Gullah Geechee crafts, including sweetgrass baskets, quilts, and Adinkra-printed cloth.
