Free admission to the Easton Collection Center — Saturday, August 24 – 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Learn about the Museum of Northern Arizona’s collections at the Platinum LEED certified, architectural masterpiece Easton Collection Center. Selected pieces of the Fine Art Collection will be available for viewing and discussion with MNA collections staff and curators. Consisting of approximately 2,200 works including oil or acrylic paintings, works on paper (watercolors, drawings, sketches, etchings, block prints, and lithographs), and sculptures, the Fine Art collection documents artistic pursuits on the Colorado Plateau. A particular strength is the holdings of Native American works by Indigenous artists important for their individual achievements, as well as their association, either as students or faculty, with the Santa Fe Indian School. The collection also includes contemporary and historically significant works by Anglo-American artists from the late-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries, many of whom were among the first to visit and record the landscapes and people of the Colorado Plateau region.

Many thanks to Arizona Public Service for sponsoring this free event at MNA.
