A public reception will be held on Thursday, March 2, 2023, from 5 – 7 pm. To mark the prizes’ decade-long establishment, please join the PSU School of Art + Design in celebrating the work of our 2022 Arlene Schnitzer Visual Arts Prize recipients: Johanna Houska (BFA Art Practice, ‘22), Shelbie Loomis (MFA Art + Social Practice, ‘22), and Nia Musiba (BFA Graphic Design ‘22).
“As a leader of art and culture in Portland, my late mother, Arlene, inspired my lifelong passion for art and the desire to share art from my collections with diverse audiences. This annual prize is a fantastic opportunity to honor her memory and legacy while lifting up the next generation of artists. Congratulations to this year’s recipients! We look forward to following your careers and enjoying your art for years to come!” said Jordan Schnitzer, President of the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation.
PSU School of Art + Design is extraordinarily grateful to the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation for their support in creating the Arlene Schnitzer Visual Arts Prize. It was established by Arlene Schnitzer in 2013 to recognize student achievement in the School of Art + Design and to raise awareness of the quality of art education at PSU.
