On Exhibit
Long After Dark: Stories within the Collection
December 19 - March 8, 2026
First Floor
Curated for this exhibition are pieces that form a visual chronicle of place, history, culture, and community. Many of the artworks unveil narratives about the local region as well as the featured artists. At certain intersections, the viewer will discover familiar landscapes and architecture – including swamps, rivers, deltas, fields, plantations, and farmhouses. Revealed at these crossroads are whispers of secrets, haunting folklore, and mythology unique to the Gulf Coast. Digging deeper, one might uncover fables and hints of Southern Gothic influences. This exhibition showcases only a small selection of the more than 700 artworks currently housed within the PMA’s permanent collection, but it highlights important, hidden stories found within artworks rarely seen… and some on view for the first time.
Gregory B. Saunders Drawing In Three Dimensions
September 26 - January 18, 2026
Front Stairwell to the Second Floor
Gregory B. Saunders' current exhibit explores the use of light, space, form, and shadow through mixed-media assemblages. He incorporates found objects such as coal, hurricane debris, and fossils alongside narratives, poems, self-made tools, and sketches.
About his sculptural work, Saunders says, “while my two-dimensional work treats drawing as mass, my three-dimensional pieces treat sculpture as line. These three-dimensional 'drawings' give me an opportunity to explore an abstract response to concepts outside the representational realm.”
Dualities: National Sculpture Exhibition
June 20 - January 11, 2026
Second Floor
We all live in the tension of duality. As humans we experience the dichotomy of both the physical and metaphysical and attempt to balance along the tightrope of the tangible and intangible. The contemporary sculpture in this national survey seeks to create a bridge linking these binary concepts by connecting objective forms with subjective perception, emotion, and cognition. This exhibition features a diverse array of sculptural techniques, materials, and ideas that emphasize opposing forces constantly in flux. Included artists represent a range of perspectives from different regions across the United States and illuminate the evolving dialog between traditional and emerging processes. Artwork in the show inspires viewers to investigate these complexities and gain insights into the mysteries of dualities and the human condition.
