Calendar

  Art at the End of the Millennium: Contemporary Art from the Milwaukee Art Museum is at the Akron Art Museum through September 5. This exhibition contrasts the energetic, paint and emotion-laden canvases of neo-expressionists such as Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke and Susan Rothenberg with the cooler, conceptually-based works of Scott Burton, Christopher Wool and Lorna Simpson. Works by Jasper Johns, Philip Guston, Nancy Graves and Elizabeth Murray are included. For more information call 330/376-9185.

Common Ground: Contemporary Landscapes from Israel and Ohio juxtaposes the work of six Israeli and six Ohio artists whose common interest is landscape. The exhibition illustrates the pluralistic nature of contemporary art and emphasizes the interaction of imagination and materials as the central experience of late-20th century artists. Common Ground will run through October 16. Call 614/644-9624 for more information.
