Summer Fun At The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts!

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts has another fantastic summer planned for 2025, with fun for all ages!

“Art Unleashed: Creativity You Can Feel!”

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts has another fantastic summer planned! Don’t miss “Art Unleashed: Creativity You Can Feel!” –a family-friendly, touchable art exhibition for all abilities.

This never-before-seen exhibition encourages visitors to “please touch the art.” The exhibition has been curated by staff of the Pearl and includes pieces created especially for this experience, as well as art on loan from creatives across the nation.

At This Summer’s Exhibition You Can:

Play with the “Holdables” collection of soft sculptures by Stephanie Metz of California
Pet the smooth, bronze casting of “Fat Cat,” a sculpture by 15-year-old Gwyn Howard from Found Fine Art in Bastrop, Texas
Laugh at the joyful textured paintings of fun and funky noses, eyes, lungs and hands by Rosy Sunshine Galvan of Baltimore
Feel the intricate details of masterpieces like “Mona Lisa,” “The Starry Night,” and “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” Dallas-based artist Tomas Bustos re-creates these iconic works of art as bronze reliefs—an especially unique opportunity for guests who are blind or low vision.

…and much more!!

Maker Space

This summer’s exhibition also includes a large Maker Space where guests of all ages and abilities can create their own art from sensory materials like buttons, pipe cleaners, pop-poms and more.

Cole Gallery

In the Cole Gallery, the Pearl will feature “The Realm of Smaller Things: A Storybook Adventure by Kent Knowles.” Figurative artist and author Kent Knowles worked with the Pearl to create this exhibition, which invites visitors to frolic through a BIG forest with a TINY friend.

With murals, sculptures, fun photo ops and a cozy reading nook, this is sure to become a favorite spot this summer!
