The Cheekwood Art Museum new exhibition, A Century on Paper opens this Saturday June 28 in Nashville. Visit the Cheekwood page on Art Museum Touring.com (Link...). Check out the Events page (Link...) for their Thursday Tales and Tunes with something for kids and the parents too.

Since Cheekwood was founded, the museum has amassed an excellent collection of twentieth-century works on paper. The exhibition surveys the result of many wonderful gift purchases for the permanent collection. While works by many of the most recognized twentieth-century masters are included, it also provides excellent examples of prints, drawings, and watercolors by either lesser-known or regionally recognized artists. Works range from American Realists such as Reginald March and Isabel Bishop to early Modernist like John Marin and Stuart Davis to Edward Ruscha and David Hockney.

Don't forget the Cheekwood still has the Faberge exhibit running.
