Light is essential to art, even in its absence. Its scientific, mysterious and material qualities have inspired artists for centuries – light shapes how artists and viewers understand color, form, and composition. In The Light Fantastic, 27 artists from the nineteenth century to today are displayed alongside one another as a meditation on light, featured in painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography. Look closely at photographs by Carrie Mae Weems and Gregory Crewdson alongside abstract, poetic interpretations of light by Jen Stark, Dale Chihuly and Agnes Pelton. This exhibit is free
