As Taylor Swift prepares to perform to sold-out crowds at AT&T Stadium this weekend as a part of the Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, the Arlington Museum of Art is pleased to announce that it will debut an exclusive exhibition this summer that focuses on the evolution of the icon’s artistic expression.
Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Collection, presented by the HELP Center for LGBT Health, will open June 3 and run through Sept. 24, 2023 at the Arlington Museum of Art. Additional support has been provided by the Arlington Cultural Tourism Council.
Curated by the AMA from Swift’s own private collection, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Collection will feature original costumes, audio, photographs, and concert videos drawn from her creative periods, or “eras.” Highlights of the exhibition are eight costumes worn by Swift from her record-breaking albums Midnights, folklore, Red (Taylor’s Version) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
Altogether, the exhibition is an exploration of Swift as an evolving, boundary-pushing artist and one of the best-selling musicians in history.
“As an artist, Swift’s career is rich in depth and detail, and we believe the exhibition will appeal not only to her fans, music lovers, and art lovers, but to the next generation of emerging museum-goers,” Chris Hightower, president and CEO of the Arlington Museum of Art, said.
Arlington Mayor Jim Ross said the Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Collection exhibition reflects a number of the city’s strengths, including a reputation for world-class entertainment, the city’s Music-Friendly Community designation by the State of Texas, and an on-going commitment to supporting arts and cultural programming.
“In Arlington, we love collaboration, a can-do spirit, and out-of-the-box thinking,” said Mayor Ross, “and the team at the Arlington Museum of Art continues to surprise and thrill us by really putting all that into practice. It has been so exciting to see the Arlington Museum of Art find its voice in the last few years, and there is no doubt that even bigger things are on the horizon.”
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10:00 a.m. on April 17. As a part of their membership benefits, AMA members will be able to access tickets starting at 10:00 am on April 13. Tickets will be available exclusively at arlingtonmuseum.org.
