Members are at the heart of the museum and each year we set aside a special afternoon designed just for members! 

• Annual Meeting (1 p.m.)
  Director Colleen Schafroth will share some news of our recent accomplishments and where we are headed.
• Exhibitions, collections & education tours (2 – 4 p.m.)
  Take a behind-the-scenes tour of the collections areas with our new Collections Manager Sarah Purdy, join curator Steve Grafe for a look at the art and artists that are included in the “Northwest/Southwest: Indigenous Art After 1980” exhibition and hear about our programming with Louise Palermo, curator of education.
• Dedication of the Sandy & Helen Thomson Overlook (2 p.m.)
  Join us to dedicate a scenic walk and viewpoint along the southwest edge of the grounds in memory of Sandy and Helen Thomson. Sandy was a trustee and board president, and his wife, Helen, a dedicated volunteer. Both were long-term supporters of the museum. The overlook barrier was designed and built by sculptor Tom Herrera and his work, Queen for a Day, a 2006 Gift of the Arthur G. Dunn Guild, has been installed here.
• Members’ Reception with root beer floats! (4 p.m.)
  Spend time socializing with fellow members and friends over a root beer float. 

All activities are free for members of Maryhill Museum of Art. Not a member or need to renew your membership? Join online here!

With the completion of the museum’s West Side Landscaping Project, there is now a scenic walk and viewpoint along the Southwest edge of the grounds that includes an overlook in memory of Sandy and Helen Thomson. Sandy was a trustee and board president, and his wife, Helen, a dedicated volunteer. Both were long-term supporters of the museum. The overlook barrier was designed and built by sculptor Tom Herrera of Mosier, Oregon, and his work, Queen for a Day, a 2006 Gift of the Arthur G. Dunn Guild, has been installed here. Join us as we honor Sandy and Helen, and dedicate this beautiful spot for reflection. All are welcome!
