Through its auction of art, memorable events, and decadent desserts, the proceeds add considerably to the Museum s endowment. Other Friends projects include exhibits, lectures, and the Children s Saturday Workshops, which bring art of K-12 students throughout the region. The Friends also raise funds to purchase art for the permanent collection. The WSU Museum of Art is a cultural landmark in the inland Northwest. It brings the visual arts to students, faculty and staff of WSU, to Pullman and surrounding communities and to eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
Exhibitions are local, national, and international in scope.
Consisting of friends throughout the West, more than 350 friends provide major financial support to the educational mission of the Museum and contribute significantly to many of its exhibitions and public programs.
