Alice Neel reinvented the genre of portraiture by expressing the inner landscape of her varied sitters. This documentary tells the story of Neel's life, exploring the struggles she faced as a woman artist, a single mother, and a painter who defied convention.  Audience members are encouraged to come earlier to see Alice Neel’s 1975 portrait in the TMA’s collection, Nancy and the Rubber Plant.

Tickets are $5 for members, $7 for nonmembers and $4 for students and military. 

Thursday, Apr. 23: 8 p.m., GlasSalon

California composer Terry Riley launched what is now known as the Minimalist movement with his revolutionary classic IN C in 1964. This seminal work provided a new concept in musical form based on interlocking repetitive patterns. Its impact changed the course of 20th century music and its influence has been heard in the works of prominent composers such as Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and John Adams as well as in the music of rock groups such as The Who, The Soft Machine, Tangerine Dream, and many others. TMA’s intimate GlasSalon becomes the perfect space for Riley’s hypnotic, multi-layered, polymetric, and eastern-flavored improvisations with his son Gyan Riley on guitar.

Tickets are $25 for Museum members, $35 for nonmembers.
