Malleable

2026 (EXHIBITION DATES TO BE DETERMINED)

Rita Blitt Gallery, Mulvane Art Museum

1700 SW College Ave

Malleable highlights the fluidity, versatility, and innovation of Blitt's sculptural practice. Assemblages and acrylic sculptures from the 1960s to the '80s demonstrate her boundary-pushing experimentation and intuitive creative process. Her works invite you to see the beauty in unorthodox materials and everyday objects.

Watch the film Dancing Hands (1984) to view many of the acrylic sculptures.
