The artwork of Emilio Sanchez is on display at the Art and Design Building Gallery throughout the Chancellor’s Installation Week at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Sanchez was a Cuban 20th century artist. See the video.
SIUE’s University Museum now houses the largest collection of artwork in the country by the late, internationally acclaimed artist. The donation of Cuban art from the Emilio Sanchez Foundation through the Cuban Caribbean Center in the College of Arts and Sciences is valued at $469,000.
SIUE Chancellor Julie Furst-Bowe will be officially installed during a ceremony Friday, April 19, at 10 a.m., in the Morris University Center Meridian Ballroom.
The theme for the week leading up to the ceremony is “Planning for Our Global Future.”
