WAU was so saddened to hear the news of the passing of Myra Hurt. She was the first woman photographed for our upcoming exhibit. What an epic human. What an honor to have been able to photograph and interview her. WAU will be dedicating our upcoming show at LeMoyne Arts in her honor.

Please take a minute to read her memorial:
