Distinguished Visiting Artist Program Postponed to Spring 2022
In 2004, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art received a generous endowment from Jerome M. and Wanda Otey Westheimer supporting the establishment of a biennial Distinguished Visiting Artist Chair and Exhibition. The program made its debut the following year and in alternating years ever since. Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the Museum and the Westheimer family have jointly concluded that it was in the best interest of all concerned to postpone the DVA chair and exhibition from Fall 2021 to Spring 2022. The safety and protection of Museum visitors and staff remains paramount and we continue to urge all to wear masks, practice socially distancing and avoid large groups and confined spaces.
