January 22-May 16

With 35 Academy Award nominations--and eight wins--the name Edith Head is synonymous with Hollywood costumes. Her work on over 1,100 films (with 16 on-screen roles playing herself) span the years 1924-1982, and includes costumes for All About Eve (1950), Sunset Boulevard (1950), To Catch a Thief (1955), The Birds (1963), Airport 1975 (1974), and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). The exhibition will highlight Head's 44-year career at Paramount Studios and subsequent 14 years at Universal, as well as her private Hollywood clients, many of whom she dressed for awards shows and film premiers.

Fellowship: 75 Years of Taliesin Box Projects

May 28-September 19

Since its inception in 1932, the Taliesin Fellowship has become home, school and a way of life for hundreds of aspiring architects and designers. Twice annually, the Taliesin apprentices presented "box projects" as gifts to their patrons -- a collection of sketches, drawings, works of art, music and handicrafts packaged into a handmade container, which throughout time became incorporated into the school's archives. This exhibition will celebrate the creative energy and spirit of the Taliesin Fellowship and illustrate one aspect of an architect's apprenticeship under Wright, and later his wife, and the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.
