Plan to join us in Chicago for the 12th Maier Museum of Art trip celebrating American art and culture! The foundation of the trip will be a major exhibition devoted to Edward Hopper at the Art Institute of Chicago. The city's architecture and outdoor sculpture will also be focal points and we will take a day trip to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum-renowned for its Quadracci Pavilion. Accommodations will be at a unique private hotel and the tour will be led by Chicago-based art historians who specialize in travel for museum groups.

Maier Museum of Art members and R-MWC alumnae and friends spent a week in San Francisco, California, on the 11th semi-annual "art trip," April 24-30, 2006. Highlights included visits to Oliver Ranch (a private sculpture park), the Headlands Center for the Arts (an artists' retreat), private collections, artists' studios, galleries, and major museums.
