The Fitchburg Art Museum is pleased to bring together the past and the present, the traditional and the contemporary, the old masters and emerging artists in Land Ho!, a group exhibition that celebrates the timeless lure of the landscape in art.

From majestic mountains and gently rolling hills to bucolic pastures and dewy, green fields, our landscapes are ever-changing terrains with the power to move, excite, and inspire us.

Artists have been spellbound by the beauty and mystery of the landscape for centuries, and it is a rare and wonderful treat when landscape paintings from generations past hang side by side with works by twenty-first century talents.

Land Ho! features artwork by eight New England contemporary artists -Carrie Crane, Sally Curcio, Leila Daw, Warner Friedman, Michele Lauriat, Sandy Litchfield, Shona Macdonald, and Sue McNally - in direct conversation with over thirty landscape paintings from FAM's permanent collection. Images by Charles Burchfield, Arthur Goodwin, Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent, John Twachtman, and others will return to the FAM galleries in a magnificently interspersed, intergenerational, multi-scaled mash-up of landscapes old and new, iconic and fantastic, universal and personal.

Land Ho! is not your typical landscape painting show, but rather an exhibition designed to reboot and refresh more traditional preconceptions of the genre and place the FAM collection squarely in that mix. Come see the past talk to the present, and the present talk back.
