Bristol Art Museum Announces its 2025 Members Open Exhibition: Flights of Imagination

The Bristol Art Museum announces Flights of Imagination, the Museum’s 2025 Members Open Exhibition at Blithewold’s Visitor Center Gallery. This year’s theme invited member artists to explore the symbolism of birds, flight, and the sky through two-dimensional artwork. 
The exhibit is on view from Sat., Mar. 29 through Sun., May 11, with an Artists’ Reception on Sunday, Mar. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m.
"The sight of birds in flight, in particular over Narragansett Bay, is breathtaking, and this exhibit beautifully captures that sense of grace and freedom,” said Mary Dondero, Curator and Museum Board member. “Through a range of styles and interpretations, the artwork in this member’s exhibit reflects the elegance and movement of birds, inspiring viewers to appreciate both the natural beauty of Southern New England and the artistic vision it inspires. We are grateful to our members who submitted their personal interpretations of this theme that comprises the Flights of Imagination exhibit.”
Flights of Imagination coincides with Blithewold’s outdoor sculpture exhibit by internationally renowned artists The Myth Makers, Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein. Their avian-inspired sculptures, standing between 15 to 30 feet tall and made from bamboo and upcycled materials, bring a striking complement to this year’s theme.
