Beginning on October 1, the Museum will be open on Thursdays, as well as Fridays and Saturdays, from 10:00am – 4:00pm. The Museum currently has three gallery exhibitions on display through December 22, 2020: Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches debuts the original artwork for Falmouth artist Salley Mavor’s recently published book, My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World. The exhibition includes 18 fiber artwork illustrations that celebrate cultural differences and highlight the universal theme of children sleeping safely in their beds. Along with the illustrations, additional artworks by Ms. Mavor will be on view, including two fairy houses, many of her Felt Wee Folk, her Doll House, as well as composition books and objects from her home studio. Edward Curtis: Shadow Catcher presents a selection of 33 early 20th century photogravures from Curtis’ renowned body of work, The North American Indian, which remains one of the most significant records of Native American culture ever produced. Adria Arch: Interference features an installation of oversized, colorful, and interconnected shapes that emerge from the Museum’s lobby, pop out of hearths, tumble down the stairwell, and playfully encompass the Museum’s public spaces. Alfred Glover: Garden Grove as well as the Blue Trees are on view on the Museum grounds. The Cahoon Museum of American Art is located at 4676 Falmouth Road (Rt. 28) in Cotuit, MA.
