Visual Legacies: Photographs by Ellie Lee Weems
Michelle Grabner: Under the Sink
Special thanks goes out to event Co-chairs and Friends of the Haggerty Board Members Philip Babler and Mary Cimrmancic!

The Big 4-0, Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection
2025-01-17 08:00 - 2025-05-24 17:00 | 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, WI 53233, 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, 53233, United States
The Big 4-0, Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection reimagines the Haggerty Museum of Art’s six lower galleries for the spring semester, presenting an entirely new installation of outstanding works from the Museum’s own holdings. The exhibition expands on collection favorites such as Keith Haring and Salvador Dalí paintings with rarely seen works on paper brought out for the special anniversary. The show of modern and contemporary art contains distinct themes within each gallery such as artistic composition through chance, the role of personal biography, artistic use of commercial printing, and artistic creation following wartime.
The Big 4-0 Vol. 2 is the second of a two-part installation of the exhibition galleries. Vol. 2 features a completely new display to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Museum’s collection. In combination, the Fall and Spring anniversary exhibitions feature more than 100 works of art. Both installations are curated by Dr. Kirk Nickel, Marc and Lillian Rojtman Curator of European Art.
Support for this exhibition is generously provided by the Emmett J. Doerr Endowment Fund and in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Parallel Play: The Art of Science & the Science of Art
2025-01-17 10:00 - 2025-05-24 17:00 | 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, WI 53233, 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, 53233, United States
Parallel Play was created as an integral component of Marquette’s Biology class, Creative Problem Solving. This cross-disciplinary course teaches STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) students to embrace divergent thinking as a path to innovative problem solving. Through art-based activities and small group interactions with artists and STEM faculty, the class emphasizes the similarities between the creative processes of scientists and artists. The class is team-taught by Dr. Deanna Arble, Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences and Lynne Shumow, Curator for Academic Engagement, Haggerty Museum of Art.
Featuring work from the Haggerty’s permanent collection, Parallel Play is divided into four sections that coincide with the scientific method—clarify, ideate, develop and implement. Through the exhibited art pieces, connections have been made between the work of artists and scientists with a special emphasis on the essential elements of scientific research—rejection, revision and the formulation of new ideas. Parallel Play aims to demystify the process of innovation across disciplines and to illuminate the multiple routes of discovery and interpretation that art has to offer.
Support for this exhibition is generously provided by the Stackner Family Endowment Fund.

Lunchtime Talk by Kirk Nickel featuring the work of Ray Johnson
2025-02-12 12:00 - 12:30 | 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, WI 53233, 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, 53233, United States
Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Ray Johnson. A New York Times art critic once labeled Johnson “New York’s most famous unknown artist.” A contemporary of Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, Johnson today is internationally recognized for his achievements in both collage and correspondence art. This month’s Art Talk will present some two dozen pieces of mail art that Johnson sent to the Haggerty Museum through the U.S. postal system in the early 1990s. Currently on view in the Museum’s anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection, these wonderfully playful and witty creations will forever locate the Haggerty within Johnson’s seemingly infinite web of correspondents. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty’s current exhibitions.
In partnership with Marquette University’s GROW program.
