A new exhibit featuring the sculpture & drawings of Kevin Firme has opened at MMAA! The lyrical quality of water plants that interweave lines, shapes, textures, & color are contrasted by the fluid linearity of forged steel & blown glass forms. The amazing results of Firme’s ability to bend steel rods is like drawing in space!

This must see exhibit of this Indiana-based artist will continue through April 28.

Mystery, visual riddles, & poetic puzzlements… t

Mystery, visual riddles, & poetic puzzlements… the Collage Work of Bonnie Rock. Sixty-four works form the exhibit, INTIMATE WORLDS at MMAA, Tuesday-Friday,10-4; Saturday-Sunday, 1-4, through March 3!

Join in the MYSTERY that’s found in the collage

Join in the MYSTERY that’s found in the collage work of Bonnie Rock (1941-2022) at MMAA. Director & Curator, Brian Byrn, will discuss the life and art of the artist in the exhibit, INTIMATE WORLDS from the Bonnie Rock Legacy Collection on Thursday, February 15, at noon.

After traveling the world and living most of her adult life in California, Rock returned to Indiana to settle in the town of Plymouth in 2006. She created a large body of unique and sculptural collages none of which she ever offered for sale and hardly ever exhibited except in her home and studio in a 1909 building.

While generous and friendly, Bonnie Rock led a largely quiet and reclusive life. Her art came to light when she entered the 2010 Elkhart Juried Regional and never failed to have one or two pieces accepted by a changing roster of judges till 2022.

Now 64 works are preserved in the Bonnie Rock Legacy Collection at MMAA.
