Munoz Donates Prints to UAS
Rie
Muñoz has dedicated 100 prints of "Ice Skaters" to
the University of Alaska Southeast Noyes Pavilion project. The matted
prints will be given to those donating $1,000 or more to the Pavilion
campaign. The outdoor pavilion on the shore of Auke Lake will be used
by both the campus and the community for performances and presentations.
The facility will be built among the gigantic spruce trees that surround
the campus with magnificent views of the Mendenhall Glacier.
"This
is a tremendous gesture of support," said UAS Chancellor John
Pugh. "The pavilion is being funded entirely by private donations,
so a commemorative gift by such a renowned local artist fits very
well with the local nature of the pavilion."
The
pavilion is named after John Noyes, an Alaskan Adjutant General who
died in a plane crash near Nome in 1956.
