Earth's Winding-Sheet
Aug. 27 - Nov. 21, 2026
Earth's Winding-Sheet tells a story of the minuscule, highlighting the work of artists who investigate the biggest of our problems, the magic of the unseen, and our place and responsibility in the natural order of things, through the materials of dust, clay, spores, and concrete, asking, "What is the significance of what we don't see?" Featured artists include Kim Abeles, Rebecca Cummins, Futurefarmers, Ruth Hilts, Brie Ruais, Jared Stanley, Sindhu Thirumalaisamy and Sining Zhu.

Connect the Dots: Highlights from the Lilley Museum Collection
Ongoing
Connect the Dots brings together artwork from across the Lilley Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Interesting pairings and installations around themes of place, people, and materiality compel us to think about the artists who make the work, the conditions and time periods the work was made, and our relationship to both.
