Get ready for a Greensboro favorite! The Weatherspoon is preparing for its next installation of Art on Paper. This decades-long museum tradition showcases the diverse and complex ways that contemporary artists work on and with paper—from drawing and collage to sculpted forms and installations. As always, the exhibition will feature both emerging and established artists from across the country, including right here in North Carolina.

Art on Paper 2026 opens August 29 and will remain on view through the fall, winter, and spring, providing an extended opportunity for engaging with and learning from the artworks on view.
