You are invited to the exhibition opening reception for A Feeling of Humanity: Contemporary Western Art from the Ken Ratner Collection.

Organized by The Rockwell Museum with the Mattatuck Museum, A Feeling of Humanity celebrates the art of the western United States. The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper that integrate a multitude of traditions: landscape, portraiture, animal pictures, domestic and urban scenes, and Native Americans. The Ken Ratner collection underlines the democratic nature of art and collecting; spotlights the great American West; and celebrates America’s common humanity.

The evening will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to see into the world of a collector with an interview between collector, Ken Ratner, and facilitator, Dr. Connie Sullivan-Blum.

Exhibition Dates: September 26, 2014 – January 4, 2015
