    Washington State University in Pullman has an art museum and it's entirely free, except for…read moreparking. It was funded by Portland art collector Jordan Schnitzer. Schnitzer has specialized in collecting multiples or prints, where the artist has made a handful to a few hundred signed copies. Because the collector lends his collection freely to other museums, they also lend items back to show in this museum, allowing it to operate on a world art stage. The building is a fine architectural statement. Red mirror glass in a Mondrian-style grid relates to the red brick of much of the campus. To the right of the entrance is the original fire station making a large open high ceiling. To the left are a few stories of galleries. It's usually not busy, while I was there, people brought children in and out of strollers and they really didn't bother anyone. The museum has hired Robin Held, formerly of the UW Henry Gallery in Seattle as executive director. That gallery has a large budget. The Superflat show curated by Takashi Murakami brought Japanese commercial anime, and anime-inspired art into the US museum and gallery world by way of the Henry. Held brought back one of those artists with the video piece City Glow, edition of 5, borrowed from Houston - a multiple! The five channel video is an animation of a city in which the buildings are characters set amidst a verdant jungle with its own creatures and characters. The museum hosts the WSU thesis exhibitions, shows select faculty work, and commissions new pieces. The curation has been excellent, contextualizing the big names while bringing work that is relevant to students. The best way to keep up with shows is their Instagram and Facebook.
