On March 3, 2009, the Georgia Museum of Art broke ground on its Phase II expansion and launched GMOA on the Move, a state- and nationwide initiative of offsite programs and exhibitions. Due to construction, the museum offices are currently located in the former visual arts building on Jackson Street on UGA's North Campus. Although the galleries and shop are temporarily closed, special calendar events are still open to the public, and gift items are now availbe from our new Web shop. Please visit the museum's virtual galleries in Second Life and view the calendar for a complete listing of GMOA on the Move events.
The Georgia Museum of Art is scheduled to reopen in early 2011.
The GMOA exhibitions or objects listed below are now on view at different venues across the country.
This informal exhibition in the Visual Arts Building (285 S. Jackson St.) of the University of Georgia aims to show in a small space some of the breadth of visual art the Georgia Review has published. Tearsheets from the journal have been framed alongside two large screen prints by John Sokol that depict the authors Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett as made out of their own words. Other artists whose pages from the Review are on display include filmmaker and former UGA instructor James Herbert, oil painter Terry Rowlett, mixed-media artist Thomas Allen (who cuts out pop-up scenes from the covers of old books, then photographs them) and painters Margaret Morrison and Gaela Erwin. Back issues of the Review containing these works of art and more are available either online at www.thegeorgiareview.com or at the Georgia Review’s offices, in the Visual Arts Building.
