The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette will hold two new exhibitions beginning in May: Courting the Mystery by Robert Pulley in the East Gallery and Elegant Equine by Heather Vickers in the McDonald Gallery.

Across five decades, Pulley has masterfully sculpted with clay and explored the realms of bronze casting, earning accolades throughout the Midwest. With immense pride, the Art Museum presents this exclusive showcase, offering a rare opportunity to delve into Pulley's artistic legacy. Spanning a spectrum of scales, Pulley's sculptures range from intimately small to towering vertical assemblages, some reaching an astonishing height of 12 feet. This exhibition is in conjunction with the Colossal Creations Art Crawl - a public installation of Pulley's sculptures throughout West Lafayette and Lafayette.

The work of Heather Vickers focuses on depicting horses in unusual poses, showcasing them in dynamic actions such as jumping, running, twisting, and turning. The compositions often feature overlapping horses, with some depicted individually or running away from each other. The inspiration for this body of artwork comes from the artist's deep love for horses since a young age. Rather than riding them, the artist's passion lies in drawing them, focusing on capturing their unique shapes and hooves. By recreating the muscle tone, the artist seeks to convey the horse's natural power and grace.

Join us for the opening reception for these two fascinating and visually stunning exhibitions on May 8th at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, beginning at 6:00 PM. Refreshments will be provided and admission is free!
