From TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART
Based on popular demand, Yayoi Kusama: Fireflies on the Water has been extended through Sunday, June 28 at the Toledo Museum of Art. The exhibit had been scheduled to close April 26.
Starting on Monday, March 2 at 10 a.m. through Sunday, March 15 at 11:59 p.m., visitors will be able to purchase timed tickets for all remaining dates through the end of the exhibition. Weekly ticket sales will continue on Mondays at 10 a.m. after the two-week open ticketing period. Limited tickets will be available for all dates. Tickets can be purchased online at tickets.toledomuseum.org or by phone at (419) 255-8000 ext. 7448.
“The immense popularity of Fireflies on the Water has exceeded our expectations,” said John Stanley, the Museum’s interim director. “We want to thank the community for their support of TMA by providing more time to experience this icon of contemporary visual art.”
Yayoi Kusama: Fireflies on the Water showcases the unique vision of one of the world’s most influential contemporary artists. Yayoi Kusama, who experienced hallucinations as a child, uses her artwork as a means to express and communicate her particular psychological world. Visitors experience up to 60 seconds alone in the room, which uses lights, mirrors and water to transport viewers to a space that seems endlessly expansive.
TMA members receive a fixed number of free tickets based on their membership level. Once members have reserved their free tickets, they are eligible to purchase as many as six additional general admission tickets in the same transaction. Both members and nonmembers can purchase up to six general admission tickets per transaction. General admission tickets are $5.
Yayoi Kusama: Fireflies on the Water is made possible by a generous loan from the Whitney Museum of Art. The exhibition is presented by ProMedica with additional support from Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP and the Ohio Arts Council.
