Speer also said the\nmuseum does not take one political position over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work of the ACLU in Arizona isn\u2019t about a singular viewpoint or issue, said contributing artist Rand Carlson, but rather the unity of people coming together in a shared effort and embodying the title of the exhibit\u2014\u00addaring to create a more perfect Arizona.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is located at 620 Knoles Drive and is open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is open to the public at no cost, though a $2 donation is suggested. No parking permit is required for community members attending campus events on Friday after 4:30 p.m. and on weekends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured image: &#8220;The Enduring Hope&#8221; by Barbara Brandel <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"search-results-excerpt-link\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/news\/nau-art-museum-summer-display\/\">June 10, 2019 The Northern Arizona University Art Museum will be the summer home of the traveling exhibit \u201cIn This Together: Sixty Years of Daring to Create a More Perfect Arizona.\u201d The display is making its way around the state as part of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona\u2019s 60th anniversary celebration.
