Jumpin' with the Big Bands
December 5, 2009 – April 24, 2010
The joint is jumpin' with America's pop music called swing. These groovy tunes locked up the nation in the 1930s and '40s, inspiring performance showmanship and dances like the Lindy Hop. Swing united a mass audience and encouraged integration. New recording and radio technologies transformed swing into a national craze. The era comes alive in the gallery through film clips, jazz archive images, microphones and musical instruments. [Image courtesy of International Jazz Collection, University of Idaho]

The Arts & Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest
March 13, 2010 – June 26, 2010
Early 20th century Northwest architects, furniture manufacturers, craftspeople, artists, and photographers expressed the new Arts & Crafts style with a regional flair. Now, a century later, Craftsman architecture, hammered metal work, ceramics, embroidery, and graphic design have reached another peak in popularity. The 1906 copper fireplace from the Davenport family apartment in Spokane introduces a traveling exhibit by former MAC Director Glenn Mason and architectural historian Lawrence Kreisman. An adjacent exhibit highlights the museum's Campbell House and Davenport Decorative Arts Collection.
