MoNA explores Millett's forms

The Museum of Northwest Art will open its latest exhibition on Saturday, Oct. 12: "Peter Millett: Built Forms."

Millett, a Seattle-based artist, has been exploring the mystery of common forms in his artwork since the late1970s. Curated by Greg Bell, Built Forms is the first major institutional survey of Millett's work, which spans decades of artistic practice and intentional engagement with forms in space.

Millett was born in Evanston, Ill., in 1949 and grew up in the Chicago area. He attended Rhode Island School of Design, earning a BFA in 1971. He settled in Seattle in 1973.

"Built Forms" honors the artist's vision and celebrates his place within the cultural landscape of the Pacific Northwest as one of the region's masters.

"Peter Millett: Built Forms" will run through Jan. 12, 2025.
