The Citadelle Art Museum to exhibit portraits that explores memory, truth, human presence beginning Saturday

The Citadelle Art Museum in Canadian, Texas, will open a contemporary figurative portrait exhibition titled 'Human Resonance: Portraits with Presence' on February 14, 2026. The show, running through June 13, features internationally known painter David Kassan's portraits of Holocaust survivors, alongside works by artists Chelsie Murfee, Annie Murphy-Robinson, Shana Levenson, Barbara Hack, Karen Offutt, and Tanja Gant.

The exhibition, organized in partnership with Chelsie Nicole Contemporary, explores themes of memory, identity, and lived experience. It highlights the museum's role in bringing significant contemporary art to a rural community in the Texas Panhandle, serving as a cultural hub through exhibitions and outreach programs like The Roadshow.
