Celebrating 50 Years Reception and Book Release
4:00pm-6:30pm
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU
Join us in celebrating 50 years at Washington State University’s art museum—from our inception as the Museum of Art/WSU up to the transformation into the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU. To mark this semi-centennial milestone, we are releasing a commemorative publication and a collection-based exhibition titled Your Collection: Celebrating 50 Years. Special guests include past museum directors, staff, and supporters including Jordan Schnitzer. The reception and book release with WSU Press will kick off at 4:00pm near the crimson donor wall, and there will be live music and appetizers. We invite you to be part of our anniversary celebration!
