Please join us for an artist talk by Anne Lindberg, where she will explore her career as an artist in the context of her current exhibition at the Academy Art Museum, “Seen and Unseen,” on view through fall 2026. Lindberg works within expanded definitions of drawing, sculpture, and textile in two and three dimensions. Other current and upcoming exhibitions include the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (2026), T Space Archive Gallery in Rhinebeck, NY (2026), and Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts thru 2027. Her most recent exhibitions include The Textiles Museum at George Washington University Museums, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, September Gallery, Everson Museum of Art and Hangar Y (Paris). A five-story glass drawing was commissioned for NYU Langone Health and Lindberg is currently working on a large-scale commission for the Des Moines International Airport (2026). Collections include Everson Museum of Art, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Detroit Institute of Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, U.S. Consulate in Dhahran, Rachofsky Collection, Christy and Bill Gautreaux Collection, NYSE Chicago, Richard Bolling Federal Building, Vanderbilt University, Federal Reserve Bank Kansas City, and numerous private collections. Lindberg is represented by Bienvenu Steinberg & C Gallery (NYC), Secrist Beach (Chicago) and Haw Contemporary (Kansas City).
Anne is also the Academy's 2025 Artist-in-Residence and is offering a workshop together with local poet Mary McCoy on Saturday, April 4th titled Color and Poetry. No experience in art making or poetry is required for this workshop, and all you need to bring is your favorite pen. After a brief discussion, students will be led through short writing exercises to generate ideas, followed by a longer session to allow each student to create poetry. After lunch (provided by the museum), the poems and poetry fragments will be installed in the upstairs gallery adjacent to Lindberg’s site-specific commission seen and unseen. Space is very limited for this workshop, so please register early!
