Winter 2026 Exhibitions

About This Event

The Museum of Art Fort Collins will host three new exhibitions through March 15, 2026. The museum will feature Installation Nation in the main gallery and Lynnette Jung-Springberg Gallery. Installation Nation features the work of five regional artists: Nicole Banowetz (Denver, CO), Ashley Hope Carlisle (Laramie, WY), Chelsea Gilmore (Fort Collins, CO), Katelynn Mai-Fusco (Greeley, CO), Abbie Powers (Loveland, CO). Installation Nation explores the intersection of installation art, nature and our environment. Installation art, as a medium, moves beyond traditional art forms to incorporate sound, architecture, found objects to give an immersive and site-specific experience to the viewer.   The second exhibition will showcase Gretchen Marie Schaefer and Derrick Velasquez with A Pendulum Oscillates About Its Lowest Point curated by Ilan Gutin and Jenny Nagashima; hosted by Dinghy Rig. Having worked as studio mates for many years, Gretchen Marie Schaefer and Derrick Velasquez share a sustained exchange that has shaped both practices through proximity, generosity, and ongoing critique. This exhibition emerges from an interwoven relationship between the two artists developing their work in close conversation.  The third exhibition in our lobby gallery, In My Eye, will highlight the detailed, energetic and colorful landscapes of Gina Blickenstaff (Fort Collins, CO). The striking and unique landscape paintings of Fort Collins-based artist Gina Blickenstaff show nature in all of its glorious moods and textures. From close up views of grasses and leaves to far away vistas and changing light, Blickenstaff’s landscapes hone in on the elegant details and design of nature.
