Sarasota Art Museum Presents Lillian Blades: Through The Veil

Arts & Culture

Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College (SAM) presents “Lillian Blades: Through the Veil,” running June 1-October 26, 2025. “Through the Veil” marks the artist’s first solo museum show and her most ambitious exhibition to date. At the center of this monumental, site-specific installation is an immersive labyrinth of mixed-media veils. Suspended and lit by the central gallery skylight tower, these floating tapestries invite visitors to step inside, wander through and lose themselves within the veils of translucency and reflection. Constructed from acrylic, wood, fabric, found materials and shimmering reflective surfaces, these wired structures evoke lace-like patterns and bounce color and light throughout the space. On the walls, mounted assemblages further envelop visitors inside Blades’ mesmeric mixed-media installation.
