Due, perhaps, to Doug&#8217;s close ties to the NAU fine art community, many of the artists represented in the Macy gift are also represented in the NAU Art Museum&#8217;s permanent collection. We&#8217;ve taken this opportunity to present a mingling of the two collections and bring together works, in ceramic, by a \u00a0small group of artists whose lives and work have each other, the Macy family, as well as the NAU Northern Arizona community. We are delighted to share this gathering of friends, old and new.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Featured artists include<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Don Bendel, Professor Emeritus Ceramics, Northern Arizona University<\/li>\n<li>Jason William Hess, Professor, School of Art, Northern Arizona University<\/li>\n<li>Paula Rice, Professor Emeritus Ceramics, Northern Arizona University<\/li>\n<li>Steven R Schaeffer, Associate Professor, School of Art, Northern Arizona University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check back for additional information as this exhibition continues throughout the spring and into the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our current exhibition, Reunion, is a metaphorical gathering of old friends and a celebration of life, featuring artworks from the Aaron M.
