New artwork in the galleries

Just a note to let you know we have changed out some of the work in the Concise History exhibition. Light exposure is hard on works on paper (prints, watercolors, photographs), particularly the older ones, and so we try to limit the amount of time they are on view. We just changed out a number of the older photographs and some of the prints--mostly new work by the same artists but a few new additions. We've also changed the work on the "What About...?" wall to a beautiful charcoal drawing by Native American artist, Julius Twohy (Tuohy). This drawing was recently purchased for the collection and is a significant addition to our sparse holdings in Northwest art of the 1930s.

In our Events Space I've put up a rotation of prints by another important Northwest artist whose work couldn't be squeezed into Concise History. The artworks are by Glen Alps, the innovative printmaker and influential teacher.
