  • Magazine Wouspring 2008
    Magazine WOUSpring 2008 WOU s Kevin Boss became a Super Bowl hero during his first season in the NFL. Letter from the editor Dear Alumni, Greetings from your team in The Cottage. As your new Vice President for University Advancement, I want to thank all of you for the warm welcome I have received. I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of Western Oregon University and will do everything I can on its behalf. In the short time I have been here, I have become aware of the various names that preceded “Western Oregon University.” Although WOU is the name that I connect with, perhaps many of you are more attached to “Western Oregon State College,” or maybe “Oregon College of Education.” While the names have changed, the academic community is still true to its original purpose. In addition to our mission of educating students from the great state of Oregon, we now attract the largest group ever of international students. Our university continues to attract a large percentage of students that are the first in their families to attend college, and the campus hosts one of the most ethnically diverse student populations in the state. WOU helps in creating teachers, educators, and other education related professionals. This continues to be part of our strength, and starting in the fall of 2008, we will add a nursing program to our already rich academic offerings. We are not the same institution we were 25 years ago, and we are continuing to grow in wonderful ways. Recently, a team of our students won the regional College Bowl tournament and at the end of April will head off to the national championships in Minnesota.

  • BPA's Native American Art Collection
    NATIVE AMERICAN ART COLLECTION BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION BPA’s Native American Art Collection 1 BPA’s Native American Art Collection Cover art: “Vision Seekers,” Virgil “Smoker” Marchand, p. 12 Introduction Since the 1980s, BPA has built an art collection featuring significant paintings, prints and sculptures in the Native American tradition. The collection represents the breadth and diversity of expression found in the traditional forms as interpreted by contemporary artists. BPA’s collection reflects the agency’s strong commitment to the diverse history, culture, landscape and peoples of the region. We decided to publish this brochure in celebration of Native American Heritage Month, to share insights into the artists and the artworks in our collection. As a steward of the region’s land and waters, BPA acknowledges its ongoing role in respecting and protecting the environment and all of its cultural resources. Recognizing the tribal histories, and their continuing resonance is of the utmost importance. As we work in consultation with Native American nations, we seek to support and honor their cultural traditions as well as contemporary interpretations. BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION Letter from the Sound Pat Austin, 1935 Moving to Alaska in 1965, Pat Austin found a place of artistic inspiration and a supportive and dynamic arts community. She would stay there for over three decades, teaching printmaking at University of Alaska, holding solo shows at the Anchorage Art Museum, and publishing poetry. At the time this print was made and acquired by BPA, in the 1980s, Austin was widely celebrated for her prints inspired by the Alaskan landscape, history, and way of life.

  • Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea
    Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea July 31, 2021 - February 13, 2022 Ideas about the American West, both in the popular imagination and in commonly accepted historical narratives, are often based on a past that never was, and fail to take into account important events that actually occurred. At once, “The West” can conjure images of rugged colonial settlers, gun-toting-cowboys, or vacant expanses of natural beauty. Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea offers multiple views of “The West” through the perspectives of forty-eight modern and contemporary artists. Their artworks question old and racist clichés, examine tragic and marginalized histories, and illuminate the many communities and events that continue to form this region of the United States. The exhibition explores the specific ways artists actively shape our understanding of the life, history and myths of the American West. National Tour Many Wests features artwork from the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and four partner museums located in some of the fastest- growing cities and states in the western region of the United States. The collaborating partner museums are the Boise Art Museum in Idaho; the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Oregon; the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City; and the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Washington. It is the culmination of a multi-year, joint curatorial initiative made possible by the Art Bridges Foundation. This is one in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of the Art Bridges Initiative.
