A compelling line up of featured exhibitions is planned for the Museum’s Cantilever Gallery in 2023. See below for the exhibitions that will follow Action/Abstraction Redefined to round out the year.

Block Party: Celebration and Community in American Art

June 25–September 17, 2023

Block Party: Celebration and Community in American Art takes as its point of departure the World War I innovation of the urban “block party,” and uses it as a lens to view ideas on belonging, activism, and mutual solidarity in historical and contemporary American art. Drawn largely from the Museum’s permanent collection, amplified by a handful of loans from distinguished public and private collections, the show coincides with the 250th anniversary of Westmoreland County.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania

October 15, 2023–January 14, 2024

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania is co-organized with Fallingwater, a property entrusted by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. This ambitious exhibition will offer a multimedia, immersive experience of civic, commercial, and residential projects designed for the region by Frank Lloyd Wright from the 1930s through the 50s. It examines Wright’s ideas and ideals of the future, as well as their lasting impacts on the urban, suburban, and rural landscapes.
