First ‘adopted’ artwork to be unveiled at the Ulrich

Join the unveiling of the first covered work in the Art Matters Adopt-a-Sculpture campaign. Participants will gather at 3 p.m., Wednesday, April 29 at the Ulrich Museum of Art in honor of donor Peri Widener, who has adopted Joan Miró’s “Personnages Oiseaux,” the artist’s largest U.S. work and only glass mosaic, famously located on the facade of the Ulrich.

Since the Art Matters Adopt-a-Sculpture campaign kicked off in late February, 32 of the available 57 selected works from the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection have been “adopted” by generous donors to secure both the immediate vibrancy and long-term sustainability of the Ulrich.

Those who wish to support the exhibitions and educational programs now and in the future can learn more about the campaign and which works are still available.
