2026 Past Exhibitions

Femina Lucida: The Art of Nancy Mee is the first major museum survey of Mee’s life work. The exhibition documents the variety of material approaches used by the artist over five decades of her career to interrogate both the personal and cultural construct of the female body. Known for her use of readymade sheets of clear glass, Mee slumps, laminates, stacks, splinters, and layers the glass medium to both explore and celebrate the image of the female body.

Ross Palmer Beecher: Speaking in the Vernacular is the first major survey of the work of Ross Palmer Beecher, a Seattle-based mixed media artist who creates quilts, flags, portraits of famous American folk heroes, and Americana sculptural objects by stitching together scavenged materials such as aluminum cans, found metal, as well as found objects, wood, and fabric. Organized by MoNA, the exhibition featured a broad range of works from the past three decades drawn from both public and private collections throughout the Pacific Northwest.
