Opening Reception — Janet Fish: Place in Time

Join us for a FREE opening reception of the Museum's upcoming exhibition, Janet Fish: Place in Time!

On September 10, starting at 6 PM, we'll be featuring a screening of Janet Fish: Catching Light, followed by a Gallery Q&A about Janet, her life, and the exhibition. Admission to the Ellen Noël Art Museum is always free. We hope to see you here!

"Janet Fish: Place in Time surveys the career of eminent American artist Janet Fish (1938–2025), who for over five decades translated her personal experiences and visual perceptions into luminous paintings that reimagine the historical genre of still life. Janet Fish: Place in Time is the first major museum survey of the artist's work following her death in 2025."

Janet Fish: Place in Time is organized by Ellen Noël Art Museum in collaboration with the Janet Fish Foundation, Inc. The exhibition originated at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art and is co-curated by Dr. Sara Thom and Melissa Messina.

Exhibition Opening — Hands of the Himalayas: Gurung Fiber Traditions of Nepal
Oct

Exhibition Opening — Hands of the Himalayas: Gurung Fiber Traditions of Nepal

Hands of the Himalayas: Gurung Fiber Traditions of Nepal is the story of the remarkable artistry and resourcefulness of the Gurung people, who have lived for centuries in the Annapurna Range of the Himalayas. Guest Curated by Kathleen Mahoney and the weavers and toolmakers of Sikles Village, this exhibition features handwoven textiles, baskets, mats, and tools created from materials gathered in the forests and mountains surrounding the village of Sikles.

Life in the Himalayas demands creativity and resilience. Stinging nettles are transformed into durable bags, bamboo becomes baskets strong enough to carry heavy harvests along steep mountain trails, and sheep's wool is woven into rugs and protective rain capes. Even the iron tools used in daily life are handcrafted by local artisans. Each object reflects generations of knowledge, passed from one family to the next, and a deep understanding of the natural environment.

Hands of the Himalayas offers a rare opportunity to experience the enduring artistry of the Gurung people and gain a deeper appreciation for the relationship between craft, culture, and the landscape that sustains them.

Home, Love, and Loss: Exhibition Closes

This exhibition is the third in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multiyear, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program. Bringing together more than 66 works from the collection of Art Bridges, the Amarillo Museum of Art, Art Museum of South Texas, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum, this exhibition features family lifecycles from aging to death. This collection of works, comprised of paintings, photographs, works on paper, and video, delves into the milestones and challenges of family and community life—from birth to aging, and from the bonds of joy to the fractures of loss. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how we form families and communities; how those relationships are disrupted by adversity, such as illness, poverty, or immigration; and how they are fortified through love, celebration, and resilience.
