The Barn Show
MoNA is honored to present The Barn Show, commemorating the annual art shows held at the Reims' farm on Fir Island starting in 1987. This exhibition is curated by Susan Parke, Guest Curator, Director Emeritus.
From the curator: I became MoNA's, (then the Valley Museum of Northwest Art) executive director in November 1990. Almost immediately I heard talk of an annual fine art show featuring area artists, fantastic food, and interesting people, held annually in a barn on Fir Island.
And, the art was good! Here I was introduced to Clayton James, Bill Slater, Paul Heald, John Simon and many more whose work would end up on MoNA's walls during my tenure. The show was so popular and so well attended that the County Fire Marshal closed it down a few years ago. It remains, however, a highlight of our art history.
