2016 WSU MUSEUM SUMMER EXHIBIT – FROM THE COLLECTION: NEW ACQUISITIONS
Exhibition: May 17 – July 1, 2016
Over the last five years, the Museum of Art/WSU has added more than 500 works of art to the permanent collection through generous donations from the museum’s friends. Now totaling approximately 3500 unique objects, the collection provides a lasting legacy of the 20th and 21st centuries’ visual language. Held and cared for in our community’s trust, the collection is a campus educational resource and foundation for approaching emergent art forms we can only begin to imagine.
From the Collection: New Acquisitions puts on view, in many instances for the first time, selections from collection newcomers. These works have deepened holdings of previously collected artists and serve to introduce new artists. The exhibition also serves as a reminder of the generosity of many donors who understand the value of sharing great art with our community. It is only through such philanthropy that museum collections grow and our horizons evolve.
The Museum of Art is located on Wilson Road, across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center. Summer hours are Tuesday-Friday, 12:00pm-4:00pm. Admission is FREE. To learn more about the exhibit and get a peek preview, please visit our website.
