Join us for an in-depth tour of our special exhibition Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static (August 30, 2025–January 4, 2026), led by Madeline Murphy Turner, co-curator of the exhibition.
Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static offers a new look at the practice of acclaimed artist and educator Edna Andrade (1917–2008). Andrade is best known for her geometric compositions, which were inspired by her interest in studying structures in nature, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and art history, and she carried this same set of wide-ranging inspirations and inquiry to her teaching. The exhibition emphasizes the central role of drawing as well as interdisciplinary exploration in her art and in modernist movements of the 20th century. Channeling Andrade’s own multifaceted approach to art and design, Imagination Is Never Static explores the way that she used drawing as a process of experimentation.
Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Space is limited, and talks are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
