    Summer 2019 Director’S Letter

    Summer 2019 Director’s Letter Dear Members, Summer in the Northwest is a glorious time of year. It is also notoriously busy. If you are like most people, you are eager fill your weekends with fun and adventure. Whether you are re-visiting some of your favorite places or discovering new ones, I hope Maryhill is on your summer short list. We certainly have plenty to tempt you. On July 13 we open the special exhibition West Coast Woodcut: Contemporary Relief Prints by Regional Artists, which showcases some of the best printmakers of the region. The 60 prints on view feature masterfully rendered landscapes, flora and fauna of the West coast, along with explorations of social and environmental issues. Plein air artists will be back in action this summer when the 2019 Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge kicks off in late July; throughout August we will exhibit their paintings in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. The show is always a delight and I look forward to seeing the Gorge through the eyes of these talented artists. Speaking of the Gorge — we are in the thick of it with the Exquisite Gorge Project, a collaborative printmaking effort that has brought together 11 artists to create large-scale woodblock prints reflective of a 220-mile stretch of the Columbia River. On August 24 we invite you to participate in the culmination of the project as the print blocks are inked, laid end-to-end and printed using a steamroller on the grounds at Maryhill.

    Winter 2011–2012 Dear Members & Friends

    Winter 2011–2012 Dear Members & Friends, It’s trulY NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT to say that Maryhill Museum of Art has had a monumental year. Last fall we received a generous challenge grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and in February held a groundbreaking for the first expansion in the museum’s history. On hand for the occasion were numerous members, donors and museum supporters who have worked hard to make the expansion project – many years in the making – a reality. Capital Campaign co-chair Laura Cheney, whose mother, Mary Hoyt Stevenson, provided the $2.6 million lead gift that made this new wing possible, was there to hoist a golden shovel and spoke eloquently about her mother’s dream for Maryhill.
