BELLAGIO GALLERY OF FINE ART
BELLAGIO GALLERY OF FINE ART TO OFFER ART LOVERS COMPLIMENTARY
ADMISSION OCT. 2
LAS VEGAS – Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art (BGFA) is pleased to announce its
first free admission day on October 2 to thank loyal patrons and introduce
new ones to BGFA. In honor of Smithsonian Magazine’s Annual Museum Day
which offers complimentary entry to designated museums and cultural
institutions across the country, BGFA will welcome all guests free of charge
to experience “Figuratively Speaking: A Survey of the Human Form,” an
engaging survey of figurative art through the ages.
“Figuratively Speaking” drew immediate praise from Las Vegas art critics
upon its debut May 1, 2010. Kristen Petersen of Las Vegas Weekly wrote, “If
you’ve never been to the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, now’s the time – this is
the show to see,” and Danielle Kelly of the Las Vegas Sun lauded the
exhibition for “taking a dusty theme and shedding new light on its
subjective significance.”
Organized in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
(MCASD) and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), “Figuratively
Speaking” presents figurative works by 29 artists including Pierre-August
Renoir, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Joseph Cornell, Roy Lichtenstein
and more. The collection thoughtfully features more than 40 works –
ranging from paintings and photographs to sculpture and video installations
– to define the genre of figurative art as it was perceived in the late 19th,
20th and early 21st centuries.
"We are thrilled to open our doors to the public gratis and introduce first-
time visitors to what we have to offer," said BGFA Director Tarissa Tiberti.
"This also is an opportunity to thank our regular patrons for supporting us
throughout the year."
The Gallery will be open October 2 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Last admissions
will be accepted no later than 30 minutes prior to closing. In order to gain
complimentary entry, guests must visit BGFA online at www.bellagio.
