After reading this article I am sure you will be ready to check it out.
The Fresno Art Museum was founded in 1948 and since then it has grown to
become a leader in the promotion of modern and contemporary art.
Originally formed by a small group of local artists, it has grown by
leaps and bounds. Today the museum houses work from local, national and
international artists. One of the most prevalent forms of art in the
museum is Mexican and Pre-Columbian art. It does not limit itself to just
one category of modern or contemporary art however. The museum contains
galleries of a great variety of artists. For example, there is the Robert
Brady exhibition which contains several pieces which combine modern art
with the simple forms of tribal art. There is also the Deborah Barrett
exhibition. This collection of work from a Bay area artist uses a mixed
media including ink, pencil, paint and collage. She uses the different
media to reveal some insight into the human intellect. Other artists who
have had work at the museum include Polly Victor, Amy Kasai and Allison
Van Pelt. There is quite a variety so you should have no problem finding
art that appeals to you.
To visit the museum go to 2233 N. First Street in Fresno, California. It
is recommended that you first call the information line at 559-441-4221
for current hours and other information. I hope you enjoy the Fresno Art
Museum.
