A Circus Family: Picasso to Leger

On April 23, the Ocean City Art Center will be hosting a bus trip to the Baltimore Museum of Art. The exhibition that we will be visiting is entitled, "A Circus Family - Picasso to Leger." The cost of the trip is $36, admission to the museum is free but there is a charge of $6 for this special exhibit. The bus will depart from the OCAC at 8 am sharp, and head home from Baltimore at 4:30 pm. This exhibit includes paintings, drawings, prints, and much more from several European artists.

"This high-flying exhibition shows daring feats, exotic acts, and colorful circus characters through the eyes of some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. More than 80 paintings, prints, drawings, and books by Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Fernand Léger, and other European artists reveal their fascination with the extravagant spectacle of the circus and the bohemian lives of the performers outside the ring. This special ticketed exhibition brings together major works from museums and private collections to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the circus during its heyday as a form of popular entertainment."
