Exhibition Opening Reception
Friday, May 22 | 4:00–7:00 PM

The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art invites you to celebrate the opening of two exhibitions exploring narrative, landscape, and place.

Hollis Williford: Sculptures, Paintings & Drawings
Featuring the work of Hollis Williford, this exhibition brings together sculpture, painting, and drawing that reflect a strong sense of narrative and material presence. Williford’s bronze figures—often depicted as hunters or travelers—are rendered with expressive, textured surfaces that retain the immediacy of the artist’s hand. Their gestures and objects suggest quiet, layered stories, balancing realism with abstraction.

The Shape of the Prairie: Keith Jacobshagen
This retrospective honors Keith Jacobshagen and his lifelong exploration of the Midwestern landscape. Through painting, drawing, and photography, Jacobshagen distills the prairie into expansive horizons, shifting light, and subtle atmospheric changes—inviting a contemplative experience of place.

Join us for an evening reception with refreshments as we celebrate these two distinct yet complementary exhibitions!
