 OTHER ART OPTIONS
In addition to our events, numerous opportunities are offered all over the area.
 Palmer Museum of Art
Associated American Artists: Art By Subscription
June 5–August 7, 2011
This exhibition features more than seventy prints created for the Associated American Artists, an organization established in New York City in 1934 by publicist and art promoter Reeves Lewenthal. The association helped create a market for the aptly labeled American Scene art movement by disseminating inexpensive original prints to a broad public through mail order and department stores. The prints, which include lithographs, etchings, and wood engravings, depict quintessentially American subjects from rural life and labor to urban entertainment cityscapes.
 Treasures Transferred: Selections from the University Libraries Print Collection
May 17–August 28, 2011
The University Libraries have long served as a repository for an impressive collection of prints. In 2009, nearly 400 works on paper were transferred to the Palmer Museum of Art. This exhibition highlights a selection of twentieth-century American prints from this notable acquisition and features works by Louis Lozowick, Benton Spruance, Peggy Bacon, and John Steuart Curry among others.
