The Ten Commandments of Renée Cox

Art on Hulfish 

The Ten Commandments of Renée Cox explores motherhood, liberation, isolation, self-realization, and joy through the four-decade career of Renée Cox. The artist works across a range of media, using her own body to celebrate Black womanhood, occupy multiple identities and realities, and deconstruct historical stereotypes.

Support the Museum with a Tax-Deductible Gift

 

As construction moves forward toward the reopening of the Museum in spring 2025, we are working hard to ensure that art remains at the center of campus and community life. In this critical period as we prepare for the new facility while also operating our two downtown galleries, our resources are stressed as never before.   

Please make a gift today and help us deliver life-enriching experiences to our audiences.
