Feast of the Arts

Feast of the Arts is back to tantalize your senses every Friday evening before home football games. The popular sellout dinner series starts with a champagne and hors d'oeuvres reception at WSU's Museum of Art. Guests appreciate a wide variety of art and enjoy musical performances from the School of Music & Theatre Arts and the WSU Cougar Marching Band. This prelude is followed by a four-course, gourmet meal created by chefs and students from the School of Hospitality Business Management. The meal is paired with premium, award-winning wines from across Washington State. Winery experts, such as the vintner, grape grower, or owner, are on hand to talk about wine selections. You won't want to miss this season! Early reservations are recommended.

Message from the Director

We're looking forward to an eventful fall here at the Museum, and there is plenty to be excited about. To start things off, we have the biennial WSU Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition, which is always a favorite of WSU students, staff and faculty.

We will continue to participate in the ever-popular Feast of the Arts program which pairs art, music, gourmet food and wine for a night on the town each Friday before home football games. If you haven't attended one of these fantastic events, you really should. We can't speak highly enough of the program.

And don't forget our FirstWednesday social events for WSU faculty and staff the first Wednesday of September, October and November. We hope to keep the momentum going and look forward to seeing the new staff and faculty faces among our old friends.

Sincerely,

Chris Bruce
Director, Museum of Art/WSU

A Brief History of Photography: From the Joseph & Elaine Monsen Collection, Henry Art Gallery, and the Washington Art Consortium

September 28 - December 15, 2007

The massive Joseph and Elaine Monsen Photography Collection, housed at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle , was assembled over a 37-year period and contains over 1,500 images that stretch back to the very beginning of photography in the 1840s.

The Museum of Art will exhibit a wide array of works from the Monsen Collection as well as a selection of photographs from the Washington Art Consortium collection. The exhibit will include images by unknown pioneers of the medium, masters of the 19th and 20th centuries and significant works by contemporary artists through the 1990s.

Artists Without Borders: Alfredo Arreguin and Guillermo Gómez-Peña

January 7 - February 16, 2008

For many years, the Chicana/o, Latina/o community at WSU has held an annual cultural event, Semana de la Raza, which depicts the socio-political status of the Chicana/o, Latina/o population through the arts, literature, and educational workshops. In celebration of the event, the Museum of Art will feature two internationally recognized artists, Alfredo Arreguin and Guillermo Gómez-Peña. In a special live performance, the Museum will present Gómez-Peña's, El Mexorcist 2: America's Most Wanted Inner Demon, which navigates the volatile area known as the US/Mexican border. The Museum will also feature the work of painter, Alfredo Arreguin in the gallery during the exhibition period. A major force in the Pattern and Decoration movement, Arreguin is known for his intricate and brilliantly colored artworks.
