Hosted By: Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU On January 21 at 1:45 pm, as part of the National Day of Racial Healing 2025, the museum and WSU’s English Department will host a reading and open mic program in response to the theme of the day, “Keep on Pushing: Building Bridges to Sustainability.” Readers will include WSU Campus Civic Poets & finalists, creative writing students and faculty, and student editors of WSU creative writing publications. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to bring a poem to read during the open mic portion. Poems may be original compositions or selected from the work of another author, though they should engage with the themes of the day. Before and after the program, visitors are encouraged to view current museum exhibitions, including “The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” and “Your Collection: Faculty Remix”.

In collaboration with the Holland Terrell Library’s Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC), the event will be accompanied by a letterpress printing of a relevant poem. This program takes place live in the museum’s Pavilion Gallery and will be livestreamed on the WSU Global Campus YouTube channel.

LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.
