A chance encounter during the summer of 2019 between New York–based painter John Newsom and Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) Director Danny Lichtenfeld gave rise to the 17-artist exhibit currently on view in the museum's capacious Wolf Kahn & Emily Mason Gallery. “Expedition” opened on June 19 and remains on view through Oct. 11. It marks the first time that artwork by actor and filmmaker Matt Dillon, who is also a practicing visual artist, has appeared in a museum.
