Nearby is Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Red Barn, Lake George, New York” (1921), now joined by Guy Carleton Wiggins’ “Wall Street Winter” (ca. 1920). In combining these modernist works with more traditional vernacular pieces, this installation attempts to broaden understandings of early-20th-century American art.

Art can improve your mental health. The state of Georgia (our home state) just passed a surprising resolution affirming its benefits.

Apologies for being a little absent here since the end of October. We were launching a new website, our first in about 10 years.

We worked with Lifted Logic, a web design firm out of Kansas City. They adapted #Pentagram 's rebrand and rough design into a more accessible and more engaging site that prioritizes delight and discovery. ❤️

We tracked down one of our very first docents (our program started in the 1970s) after a chance encounter. Here's what she had to say...

We'll keep saying it: working with #UniversityOfGeorgia students and the museum workers of tomorrow is tremendously rewarding. Two of them worked with our exhibition designer and our curator of African American art to create this new gallery within our permanent collection.

Sure, there's great art in our museum, but our staff members also experienced it elsewhere. From Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, here are some art highlights from 2024.

👋 Hello, new followers! We stopped posting on our fairly active Twitter account more than a year ago and moved here. We're the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia, both a university museum and the official state art museum. We celebrated our 75th birthday this year, and we have a collection of over 18,000 objects: American paintings, decorative arts, works on paper, much more. Mastodon feels like a good place for us given our academic and public focus. ❤️
