New Exhibition Building Banners Are Up!

Posted on June 10th, 2010 by Jamie Glavic

Last week our Without Sanctuary building banners came down (thank you to everyone who attended the exhibition!) and were replaced with our new exhibition building banners.  The new banners feature Textural Rhythms: Constructing the Jazz Tradition and The Enemy Within: Terror In America, 1776 to Today

Textural Rhythms (opens Tuesday, June 15th) explores the weaving together of two unique and popular artistic forms of African American culture – jazz and quilt-making – which come together to capture masterpieces of imagination and creativity through the complex bonding of rhythms and moods.

The Enemy Within (opens Saturday, September 11th) will reveal nine major events and periods in U.S. History when Americans were threatened by enemies within its borders: depicting how the government and public responded, illustrating the corresponding evolution of U.S. counterintelligence and homeland security efforts, and examining the challenge of securing the nation without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded.

Check out the images of the banners below and let us know what you think!
