The Trout Museum of Art is moving from it's current location at the Houdini Plaza down the road near Lawrence University. Since they plan to open in the new location in October, they had to close the current location in order to pack everything up and move it down the road. They had a closing exhibit, free to the public.
Since it was free, I wanted to go and I convinced Danielle to come with me.
The final exhibit was called A Creative Place. It is, according the Trout Website "With a range of mediums, styles, and themes, this exhibition explores how local artists have responded to distinct cultural and environmental influences."
The exhibit was mainly paintings. A lot of them were boring -- small town America paintings. They are just not my type of art.
My favorite was the one that reminded me of Red from Shawshank Redemption.
The random black circle was odd. I could do that.
The random cows were also a favorite even if the background was unusual.
I did like the statues even if they were completely random.
I kind of felt of place. It was full of artsy people most of them dressed up. We definitely were not dressed up. We browsed the exhibit navigating around people just chatting. I guess I am not cut out to rub elbows with art people. I will stick to baseball games.
I can't wait for the new museum to open. Stay tuned for another post later this year about the new Trout.
