Kindred Collecting: Exploring the Artworks of The Prairie School and RAM

Feb 15, 2015 - Jun 07, 2015

This one-of-a-kind exhibition represents an atypical parallel in the contemporary art collections of an internationally-known art museum and a preparatory school. Racine Art Museum and The Prairie School––also in Racine––have been the beneficiaries of donors who believe that art is a powerful tool and important to a well-rounded education.

Both institutions have works from artists with significant reputations, including many from the region and those who have been featured in exhibitions at RAM and as artists-in-residence at Prairie. In addition, pieces from the groundbreaking collection and exhibition, Objects: USA, which toured the country in the late 1960s, have found homes with each organization. 

Kindred Collecting is a dialogue of work from Prairie’s collection paired with pieces from RAM by the same artist or one working in a similar manner.
