In the Great Hall , you will see Hearts : Selections from the Jim Dine Print Collection .
Internationally renowned artist Jim Dine has utilized many reoccurring autobiographical themes — tools , robes , ancient Venuses , Pinocchio — yet no motif in Dine ’ s work more clearly declares his romanticism and giving spirit than the image of the stylized heart . Neither too abstract nor too realistic , the stylized heart has become a familiar symbol for sentiment and synonym for love — and in Dine ’ s hands , an opportunity for a strong fervent , expressionist sensibility . Above all , Dine ’ s hearts are testaments to his love of the creative process and the work that follows .
In the spring of 2014 , Jim Dine donated 201 complete works of art from his personal archives to the Museum of Art at Washington State University , in honor of art patron Jordan D . Schnitzer and as a stimulus to the campaign for a new museum building on the Pullman campus . Dine commented at the time of his unprecedented gift , “ It ’ s about education ; it ’ s about enriching the culture of the state and it ’ s about exposing young people to what ’ s called art .” From the WSU Museum Exhibition Schedule .
When you visit the new Collections and Learning Space , what was the “ old museum ,” you will see the MFA Thesis Exhibition , which includes works from those graduating from WSU in spring of 2018 .
There will be many more opportunities for students of all ages , community members and art aficionados to see art , hear speakers and artist talks , and share learning experiences at the museum . The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the crimson cube on Terrell Mall , in the heart of the WSU Pullman campus , directly across from Martin Stadium and the CUB on Wilson Road .
Following the dedication event on Friday , April 6 at noon , the museum will resume regular hours Tuesday-Saturday , 10 am-4 pm . Closed Sunday and Monday . Parking is available for a fee in the Smith Center For Undergraduate Education . museum . wsu . edu

“ One of the reasons supporting this new art museum is so important is that university and college campuses are critical institutions in our country . If this experiment we call America is going to survive , it is going to survive because of the young people graduating from its wonderful education centers . As we get older , we must count on younger people in this country to be the problem solvers in the future , just as we are in our time . Therefore , if we care about the future , there is no better or greater investment than to invest in our public universities , which are training the future leaders of tomorrow .”
