Abstract … January 5 – February 12, 2027


Abstract art is a style that does not try to show a real-life object or scene. Abstract art includes abstracting from the visual world to create a distortion or non-lifelike rendering of something real, abstracting from thoughts and feelings, or pure abstraction with no identifiable subject matter. You are invited to see the abstract world through the eyes of MCA artists.

Special thanks to Artist Bonnie Bucknam for lending her image titled “Climate Accord” as the cover image for this exhibit.
