Maggie Karl

Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the life, career and art of Maggie Karl, first director of the Coos Art Museum, this Saturday from 1-4 at the Coos Art Museum, 235 Anderson, Coos Bay.

Small communities across the country struggle to provide basic services to their people, but here in Coos Bay, we have the gift of a Fine Art museum. A Fine Art Museum largely built on the shoulders of its first director, Maggie Karl.

MS Karl guided the museum through its first decade, setting the principles and concepts which have made the museum one of the finest small museums in the country.

As often happens with talented people Ms Karl’s abilities don’t stop with organizational skills, the art she loved so much and created a permanent home for, now shares its space with Ms Karl’s own work.

Come, join in a celebration of accomplishment and art with the Coos Art Museum as it honors Maggie Karl’s ninth birthday.
