The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Women’s Rights are Human Rights: International Posters on Gender-Based Inequality, Violence, and Discrimination. Curated by Elizabeth Resnick (Professor Emerita, Graphic Design, Massachusetts College of Art and Design), this exhibition draws on decades of design practice from around the globe to demand equity and dignity for all.
Taking her title from both the women’s rights movement and an important 1995 speech by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Resnick explains, “This exhibition features posters that celebrate the vital role everyone should play in protecting and promoting human rights while actively challenging gender inequality and stereotypes, advancing sexual and reproductive rights, and protecting women and girls against brutality."
Runs through May 17.

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Color Made, an exhibition of 19 artists who use color to define and reshape the world. Manipulating bright shades of blue, red, pink, yellow, and green across different mediums such as painting, fabric sculpture, and cast glass, these artists establish spaces where they can create narratives and build community connections. By choosing to cover a surface with color—or by making the color and the surface indivisible—they experiment with the idea of painting, turning the traditional painters’ canvas into an independent, manipulable form and asking if other materials can play the same role.
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Yoko Kondo Konopik: On Canvas. Spanning decades, On Canvas is the first major museum exhibition to explore the practice of this Las Vegas-based abstract artist. Viewers will have an opportunity to see the full range of Konopik’s mature oeuvre, encompassing paintings from the early 1980s to the present.
Trained as a painter at ateliers in Tokyo and Paris, Konopik has spent almost half a century refining her personal lexicon of minimalist curves and lines. Her abstractions respond swiftly to opportunities for mark-making, finding humor in unexpected shape-shifts and rich moments of color.
