On view at the Mount Lebanon historic site from June through October, 2019, Granary was a solo exhibition by artist Amie Cunat.
Cunat’s work reimagined the Granary’s historic function by reconstructing its storage structures and elevator with paper materials and vibrant color choices. As visitors traversed around the grain bins, they found areas of its walls richly painted with imagery influenced by Shaker gift drawings.
The Granary, where the exhibition was installed, was built by the Shakers in 1838 to store oats, wheat barley, and rye and is a rare and early example of a commercial-sized granary on a farm.
