  • Pop Surrealism: From the James and Maureen Dorment Collection

    DiMattio Gallery at Rechnitz Hall

    Please note: The Gallery Reception has been rescheduled to March 12 from 7–9pm.

    Pop Surrealism (or Lowbrow Art) is a contemporary art movement blending surrealism’s dreamlike, unconscious themes with pop art’s imagery from popular culture, cartoons, comics, and kitsch, characterized by high technical skill, satirical commentary, and roots in underground scenes like hot-rod culture and punk rock, often featuring fantastical characters and exploring social themes with dark humor and whimsy with magazines like Juxtapoz popularizing the style. The exhibition features key artists from this movement including Mark Ryden, Camille Rose Garcia, Ana Bagayan, Swoon, Neckface, Barnaby Whitfield, John John Jessie, Tim Biskup, Liz McGrath, Mark Ryden, Aaron Johnson, Camille Rose Garcia, R. Crumb, and many more. Reception will be held on Friday, February 20th from 7 – 9 p.m.

  • Mary Cassatt's art piece In the Loge.

    Exhibition on Screen – Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman

    Pollak Theatre

    Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her.  Her radical images showed them as intellectual, curious and engaging. This was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. This film tells a riveting tale of great social and cultural change at a time when women were fighting for their rights and the language of art was being completely re-written. Mary Cassatt and her modern women were at the heart of it all.

    Professor Kenneth Womack will offer pre-film commentary about Cassatt’s groundbreaking Modern Woman project. After the screening, he will lead a discussion about the film and Cassatt’s enduring artistry. He will also be on hand to sign copies of The Time Diaries, his novel about Cassatt’s relationship with fellow impressionist Edgar Degas. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at cost for $20.

    $23 (Adult), $21 (Senior), $10 (Child), $5 (MU Student)

  • Women in Music

    Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music

    Lauren K. Woods Theatre

    “Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music” addresses a critical industry gap. While women’s presence on the charts is rising, executive representation remains stagnant. This gathering serves as both a sanctuary and a strategic hub designed to turn those artistic gains into institutional power.

  • National Theatre Live's The Fifth Step production poster

    The Fifth Step

    Pollak Theatre

    The Fifth Step
    by David Ireland | directed by Finn den Hertog

    Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland. After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

    $23 (Adult), $21 (Senior), $10 (Child), $5 (MU Student)
