It’s a special weekend for the Morris Museum of Art as it re-opens after several months of renovations.

Known for its Southern artwork, the museum will exhibit some of more recent acquisitions. Artwork by Samuel F.B. Morse, Elliot Dangerfield, Isabel Cohen and Jonathan Green are now on display.

A fundraising gala will kick off the weekend of festivities followed by the popular Artrageous Sunday event beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday. Costumed docents will bring the paintings to life, and children will participate in several special art projects. In addition, Tara Scheyer of the Mud Puppy Band will perform.
