Today, we honor all our donors and invite possible future donors to see how their gifts can enhance the lives of future generations,” said Ann H. Sievers, director and curator of the Art Museum. Those attending the October 19 reception will witness the unveiling of two new donated works of art, to be announced at the event. “We are very excited to present these gifts in their new home for the very first time,” said Sievers. The new gifts will join the Art Museum’s current exhibition of recent acquisitions and promised gifts, titled Past Progressive//Future Perfect.
