The Roanoker - September / October 2019 - 36
"The art itself is great," says Cindy Peterson,
Taubman's executive director. "But we also have a
balcony that overlooks the city, a cafe, a shop and
much more to offer. There's something for everyone,
and people can come out and make a day of it."
The Taubman holds 15-20 special exhibitions per
year, including two current showings - "Huntopia"
and "POP Power from Warhol to Koons" - that will
run through March. The former exhibition features
the work of eccentric New York artist Hunt Slonem,
while the latter celebrates historical and contemporary
figures within the pop art movement.
The Taubman is also committed to community
engagement, as evidenced by what Peterson called
"institutional innovation," an initiative that focuses
on, among other things, disseminating art throughout
the region. One example of the museum's outreach is
its ceiling tile project at the Carilion Clinic, which
36
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019
began in July. Tiles were decorated with paintings, then
placed throughout the pediatrics unit. Says Peterson:
"It's all based on the concept of art as healing."
Additionally, a renovation of the Porterfield
Education Center on the museum's third floor was
expected to be completed by September. That space
is a hub for adult art classes, as well as leadership
training sessions and other workshops, which further
the museum's overarching theme of institutional
innovation.
"We're pushing toward open boundaries for classes,
as well as meeting the community where they are,"
Peterson says. "We're interested in using art as a vehicle
for teamwork, communication and innovative thinking."
The Taubman is the only museum in Southwest
Virginia that offers free admission, Peterson said.
However, there is a small cost for special ticketed
exhibitions.
