Timely and Timeless showcases woodblock prints from 1833 to 1959, the most transformative era in Japanese history, to examine the versatility of the woodblock print medium and interrogate the "timeless Japan" with which it is so often associated. The earliest prints in the exhibition date to the Edo period (1603-1868), depicting idealized landscapes and the world of entertainment brought about by urbanization and commercialization. Technological innovations, periodic censorship, and Western influences inspired increasingly experimental designs. Despite facing challenges from photography, lithography, and Western-style painting, the woodblock print medium remained competitive through the industrial revolution in the Meiji period, nostalgia and nationalism of the 20’s and 30’s, and the aftermath of a lost world war.

This exhibition features prints and photographs from the museum's permanent collection that focus on current political and social issues. Many of these works were acquired as part of the museum's student-selected art acqusition initiative. It features works by contemporary artists: Ken Kitano, John E. Buck, Steve Prince, Manu Brabo, Sue Coe, Toshio Shibata, Yao Lu, Hung Liu, and Lalla Essaydi.

UNLOADED is a multi-media, group exhibition that explores the historic and social issues surrounding the divisive nature of gun ownership in the United States. Curated by Susanne Slavick (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh), the exhibition presents a number of perspectives on the image and impact of guns in contemporary culture. Works by twenty-two artists examine, according to Slavick, “the role that guns continue to play in our national mythologies, suicide rates, individual and mass murder, domestic violence, and the militarization of civilian life.”
