Seven pieces of “Panamanian Submerged Timber” art collection, created by Matt and Philip Moulthrop, will be exhibited at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum : https://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/ in Atlanta, Georgia, from April 11th to April 28th.

Matt and Philip Moulthrop are renowned artists from Georgia that use the wood turning technique to create unique, glass-like pieces.  Their works have been previously exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Georgia, the Heller Gallery in New York City, the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Racine Art Museum, High Museum of Art and the Carnegie Art Museum in Pennsylvania.

For this exhibit, the Embassy of Panama assisted in coordinating the donation of submerged wood from the Bayano Lake in Panama, kindly provided by  Wooderra (https://www.wooderra.com/), to bring to life a unique cultural partnership in which an American artist was able to use submerged wood endemic to Panama to create a collection that showcases the natural beauty of our country’s  flora.

The exhibit can be visited during the Carter Center opening hours, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. We hope you can make it!
