Saturday, August 1
from 2pm to 4pm

Come celebrate the Art Center’s visionary namesake and one of Eugene’s pioneering women!

Join us on Saturday, August 1, from 2 – 4 pm at the Art Center, as we mark an extraordinary milestone: Artist Maude I. Kerns’s 150th birthday.

Check out a special display of works from the Art Center’s permanent Maude I. Kerns collection and learn more about the remarkable story of our namesake and the impact she continues to make in our community.

Enjoy art activities, ice cream from Prince Puckler’s Ice Cream, wine from King Estate Winery, and birthday cake from Noisette Pastry Kitchen.

Don’t miss your chance to get one of Maude’s Mystery Bags containing original artworks from some of Eugene’s best artists. Donations help support the Art Center’s new multi-use studio and classroom in the former printmaking studio.

Maude’s 150th Birthday Party is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated.

Did you know? Kerns was head of the Art Education Department at the University of Oregon for 26 years but never attained the rank of full professor because she was a woman.

Maude I. Kerns was the only artist in the Pacific Northwest to exhibit regularly at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting in New York, the precursor of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, alongside renown artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Albers.
