I am Wild: A Charley Harper Exhibit Closing
I AM WILD: A Charley Harper Exhibit West Virginia, inspired by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh’s 2025 exhibition, I AM WILD: A Charley Harper Exhibit, opens at The Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia on August 15, 2026, and runs through January 3, 2027.
This traveling exhibit celebrates the artistic and ecological contributions of West Virginia native Charley Harper. By bringing Harper’s work back to his home state, the exhibition strengthens cultural and educational connections across the region while inspiring new generations to explore the natural world.
This hands-on exhibit highlights Harper’s signature artistic style of “minimal realism,” and invites visitors to discover the diversity and interdependency of life in the natural world. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view a curated collection of Harper’s artwork, showcasing his favorite subjects and printmaking methods he used during his career.
This exhibit is made possible through a generous grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. Created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in partnership with the Charley Harper Art Studio.
