Opening in fall of 2021, Debut will feature artwork from the Spencer Museum’s collection that has never been exhibited in our building since it opened in 1978. The eclectic artwork assembled is explored through seven broad thematic sections. Debut will remain on view for the duration of Phase II renovation and the complete reinstall of our fourth-floor collection galleries. As we undergo these transformative changes, Debut presents previously unseen works in conversation with more familiar art from the collection that is frequently used for teaching and research. This exhibition is supported by Friends of the Art Museum, KU Student Senate, and the Linda Inman Bailey Exhibitions Fund.
