NOW SHOWING

​This exhibition celebrates the life of Tomie dePaola (1934-2020) with illustrations from Front Porch Tales & North Country Whoppers, published in 2007. These humorous stories highlight dePaola’s wit and comic genius, as well as his genuine affection for the human and animal denizens of New Hampshire and Vermont, where these narratives unfold.

Start here at the Currier for your celebration of art and culture in Manchester. Experience a little bit of everything the museum has to offer at a free Open House open to all.

Enjoy donation-based admission and a special menu at Tidewater Café at the Currier.

The Currier’s commitment to focusing on the art and history of New Hampshire continues with this fall exhibition celebrating 30 years of the Furniture Masters, leaders in the international studio furniture movement known for their skill, inventive forms, and aesthetic vision.

During the 1970s, artists in Los Angeles and New York boldly challenged conventional creative norms by pushing the boundaries of form, color, and meaning in their art. This show celebrates this generation of trailblazing artists who championed color, pattern, and craft techniques traditionally associated with women artists.
