Mallory/Wurtzburger: 80 Exhibitions, 18 Years

Since 2008, the Dixon Gallery and Gardens has curated 80 exhibitions in its Mallory and Wurtzburger Galleries, giving the weight of a museum exhibition to more than 100 Memphis area artists—ranging in age, background, experience level, and media preference. As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the Dixon is hosting "Mallory/Wurtzburger: 80 Exhibitions, 18 Years," which offers a glimpse at the impact the series has had by showing recent work by some of the artists who have generously partnered with the Dixon over the years in these galleries. Paintings, photographs, sculpture, textiles, book arts, works on paper, and installation work represent the great variety of art that museum visitors have experienced over the past 18 years in the Mallory and Wurtzburger Galleries, and reinforce the main goal of the series: to instill a sense of pride in the incredible artistic talent in the Mid-South.
