Over the past two years, our creative process and collaboration became a sanctuary that
provided so much joy and love to each of us: as artists, as women and queer people of color.”

PULLMAN, Wash. – The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is collaborating with Pullman Regional Hospital using virtual exhibitions, current exhibitions, and resources from the permanent collection to engage the Pullman community in a conversation about art, health, and healing.
This collaboration is in keeping with the 5‑year Memorandum of Understanding signed by Pullman Regional Hospital and Washington State University in November 2018.
“Research shows that experiencing art reduces stress and anxiety, increases positive emotions, and decreases the likelihood of depression,” said WSU President Kirk Schulz. “What a wonderful antidote for the current pandemic. We’re delighted to partner with Pullman Regional Hospital to offer this uplifting program to our community.“
The Washington State University Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art has reopened its physical spaces to the public and is featuring two new exhibitions.
After being closed to the public for large portions of 2020, the museum’s spring semester hours will now be Tuesday through Friday, 1 to 4 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm.
The exhibit features the museum’s Worth D. Griffin Collection of Native portraiture alongside material culture from Plateau tribes including the Palus (Palouse) and Nimiipuu (Nez Perce).
The second exhibition puts on view selections from collection newcomers.
