Special Exhibitions_______________________________________________________

Western American Art South of the Sweet Tea Line II
Through November 30, 2008 – Special Exhibition Gallery
This is the second installment of the Booth Museum’s signature, triennial exhibition featuring Western art from Southern collections. Building on the success of the first exhibition, in this series, the Museum will showcase seldom-seen Western American art from private and public art collections throughout the South. Artwork by the greatest Western artists of the 19^th and 20^th centuries will be featured.

Dust and Pearls: Showing Attitude in Cowboys and Cowgirls
Through December 7, 2008 – Theatre Lobby Gallery
This exhibition showcases the artwork of Santa Fe artist David DeVary, the featured artist for the 6^th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Festival & Symposium. DeVary believes the cowboy and cowgirl are the American icon of today. As such, these subjects deserve to be painted like the religious icon paintings of much earlier times. DeVary uses metals such as copper, gold and silver along with acrylic paints to present portraits of cowboys and cowgirls who are full of attitude and raw emotion.
