Octagon Building
The Museum of Art & History is pleased to announce a new partnership at the McPherson Center with Lulu's at the Octagon. Under the direction of Susan Hillhouse, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections for the Museum exhibitions featuring contemporary California art with an emphasis upon Santa Cruz artists will be installed in the new coffee house at 118 Cooper Street. "Our new satellite location offers the Museum an opportunity to respond to emerging artists in our community as well as showcase work related to the exhibitions in the Museum" says Susan Hillhouse. The new series of exhibitions, extending the boundaries of the Museum through alternative sites, is a recipient of funds from the Roy Rydell Fund at the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County.
