Description

MMoA’s year of Migration culminates in an exhibition celebrating the historic artists who made the bold decision to uproot their lives and join the Mystic art colony. These artists took a risk in divorcing themselves from the major centers of commerce and patronage to pursue artistic careers in a small shipbuilding town and, in so doing, forged an artistic legacy that resonates in Mystic to this day. Featuring pieces from MMoA’s permanent collection and on loan from sister institutions and private collections, Moving to Mystic will include works by: Ken and Gladys Bates Lester D. Boronda Charles H. Davis Katherine Forrest Julian Joseph Carl Lawless Agnes Harrison Lincoln Nathaniel Stanton Little Beatrice Edgerly Macpherson Arthur Meltzer Minnie Negoro Olaf Olsen Garrett Price Henry Ward Ranger YE Soderberg Harve Stein Herbert Morton Stoops and more
