These works collectively encourage us to retain the playful mind of a child while also offering a warning against a candy-colored, enticing exterior: “Beware: This is not a toy.”
October 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert Rauschenberg, a pioneering force in 20th-century art whose radical experimentation reshaped the boundaries of painting and redefined the possibilities of printmaking.
Selected artists have the opportunity to exhibit one contemporary artwork alongside the museum’s Collection for a month, with one or two new artists being presented each month. The exhibition helps to create a fresh dialogue and new perspectives on the art of the region, and these contemporary living artists’ work becomes a bridge between time periods and between cultures.
The exhibition includes 100 watercolors by FWS members selected by a distinguished juror, award-winning watercolor artist, Matthew Bird, whose work has been featured in major art magazines.
