Megan Marlatt: Myths and Mummers

Inspired by the vibrant traditions of European pre-Lenten carnivals and their connection to the spring equinox, Megan Marlatt’s latest exhibition delves into themes of fluctuating seasons and climate change. The show features a compelling collection of new paintings alongside striking large-headed masks – figures reminiscent of folklore like Jack Frost – that explore this tension between nature's cycles and our contemporary challenges. Marlatt’s work draws upon centuries-old rituals, offering a unique perspective on the urgency of environmental awareness. This solo exhibition in The Painting Center’s Main Gallery promises an immersive experience for viewers interested in art, mythology, and ecological concerns. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 10th from 5:00 – 8:00pm to celebrate this significant new body of work.
