The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis presents Juanita McNeely: CAM x Counterpublic on Friday, September 11th!

Ferguson-born artist Juanita McNeely (1936–2023) dedicated more than five decades to painting, drawing, and ceramics, developing a frank and unflinching visual language centered on the body as a site of vulnerability, desire, and resilience. Presented as part of Counterpublic 2026: Coyote Time, this exhibition marks the first-ever solo presentations of her work in her hometown.

At CAM, a focused presentation centers on Triskaidekaptych (1986), a monumental 13-panel painting bringing together human and animal forms in a vivid chromatic palette animated by rapid brushstrokes. A broader selection of paintings, drawings, and ceramics that trace the full arc of her practice will be on view at the Saint Louis Art Museum.
