Now through February 7. Exhibition: Re- Mastering the Masters: The Classical Tradition. Weatherspoon Art Museum. Corner of Spring Garden and Tate St., Greensboro.

It is this latter meaning which is explored in this focused exhibition drawn from the museum’s permanent collection. As visitors to the exhibition will see, the approach has offered an almost endless variety of models and ideas to artists of all ages. Free.
