Organized jointly by the Columbus Museum in Georgia, and the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful offers the first comprehensive exploration of Thomas’s artistic journey and influence as an educator and painter. In addition to her highly regarded abstract paintings, the exhibition will present rarely seen theatrical designs, sculptures, watercolors, and handmade clothing, highlighting how Thomas used her artwork to construct and refine her identities as a woman, as an African-American, and as an artist.
“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
