MARIETTA - The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art presents The Magic of Modern Art: How to Love Modern & Contemporary Art from April 6 until June 16, 2024. Based on artist and author Robyn Jamison's book of the same name, The Magic of Modern Art is a group exhibition of artists from across the United States. To answer the question of "How does one learn to experience Modern and Contemporary Art?," this exhibition offers everyone the opportunity to become knowledgeable and passionate about the less-traditional side of fine art. Featuring artists from Jamison's book and beyond, this exhibition seeks to instill the understanding that the ability to appreciate any type of art is innate to all human beings.
Featuring artwork by In Kyoung Chun, Cynthia Cooper, Craig Drennen, Robyn Jamison, Joshua Kight, Aloma Marquis, Lawrence W. Oliverson, Rohitash Rao, Anthony Schmitt, Corrina Sephora, and Jamele Wright, Sr., as well as a selection of work by artists in the MCMA Permanent Collection.
Opening Reception on Saturday, April 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Free for MCMA members and $10 for guests-admission paid upon entry. Cash bar and hors d'oeuvres served. Membership can be purchased at the event.
The Magic of Modern Art author and exhibiting artist, Robyn Jamison, will present a free Magic of Modern Art Tour of the exhibition, followed by a book signing on Sunday, April 7 at 1pm
