“The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents Myths, Secrets, Lies, and Truths: Photography from the Doug McCraw Collection (on view June 12 ‒ October 13) featuring five artists: Sheila Pree Bright, Liesa Cole, Karen Graffeo, Spider Martin and Hank Willis Thomas. The exhibition of 100+ works from the Doug McCraw Collection is an original presentation by the Museum, and was curated by Kathleen Goncharov, the Museum’s Senior Curator. The works explore themes of survival, exposure, concealment, exploitation, race, and cultural-defining design. They include still photography and installations, capturing moments that transcend boundaries of insight, and reveal how fabricated myths can shape our perceptions and distort our beliefs.” — Boca Raton Museum of Art

Doug McCraw is the co-founder of one of South Florida’s cultural gems: the FATVillage Arts District which promotes creativity, artist residences, exhibitions, research, and education. “Myths, Secrets, Lies and Truths presents five distinct voices that delve into and illuminate so many aspects of life,” says Irvin Lippman, the Executive Director of the Boca Raton Museum of Art. “Our thanks to Doug McCraw who has built an extraordinary and stimulating collection that will facilitate insightful conversations.”
