Cheekwood Unveils Three New Exhibits
Orchids in the Mansion, opening on February 1st, inside the historic mansion’s loggia level, will showcase a stylized interpretation of a classical orangery, symbolizing how the Cheek family most likely brought nature indoors to decorate their home. On display February 1-March 3, 2019.
Also opening this Friday, Cheekwood will present works by Faig Ahmed, Beth Lipman and Bouke de Vries in Derived from the Decorative. The work of each artist takes cues from decorative arts traditions to blur the space between functional forms and art forms. On display February 1-June 9, 2019.
Cheekwood is celebrating 28 years as host to The Middle Tennessee Scholastic Art Awards, which recognizes outstanding art achievement by students in grades 7 through 12. This year’s awards ceremony and reception for the student winners and their families will be held Saturday, Feb. 3nd at 1 p.m. in Cheekwood’s Massey Auditorium. On display February 2-March 3, 2019.
