Donor Story

Visitors to Meany Hall for the Performing Arts will soon encounter a new piece of art when they attend an upcoming performance. Walking through the lobby, patrons will be greeted by a 20 foot wide, 8 foot tall original artwork by one of the most influential American artists of the 20^th century, Robert Rauschenberg.

In the mid-1990s, Meany Center (then known as the UW World Series) gained an invaluable new community partner for our K-12 outreach: The Ladies Musical Club. Over the past two decades, LMC ‘s Music in the Schools program has been instrumental in helping us to bring hundreds of artists on our Series into public schools for lectures, demonstrations and residencies.
