In 2016, the Mulvane Art Museum received a significant donation of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and archival materials representing the work of regional artist Rita Blitt. Born in Kansas City in 1931, Blitt has explored art since she was a child—from personal messages and drawings to monumental sculptures that enrich communities around the world. Through mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, and film, her practice explores subjects like nature, music, and dance. The Rita Blitt Legacy Collection creates unique opportunities to engage Washburn students and the regional community in the research, interpretation, and development of exhibitions, educational programs, and performances.
