Celebrating the year-long loan of three Georgia O’Keeffe paintings, this exhibition unites the Mattatuck Museum’s collection with O’Keeffe’s life and work through common themes.

 These unique spotlight exhibitions celebrate the year-long loan of three Georgia O’Keeffe paintings and will unite the Mattatuck Museum’s collection with O’Keeffe’s life and work through common themes, creating a unique dialogue between her work and other celebrated artists. Each unique pairing will be curated and narrated by a different member of the Museum’s curatorial department and offer a distinctive perspective on the Mattatuck Collection in relation to the works and story of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Set in the 1960s, Hairspray follows the journey of Tracy Turnblad, a spirited teenager with big dreams and even bigger hair. Tracy’s love for dancing lands her on The Corny Collins Show, where she becomes a champion for integration and self-acceptance. Featuring hit songs like “You Can’t Stop the Beat” and “Good Morning Baltimore,” this high-energy musical celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the power of change.
