Visitor 75 Favorites

The results are in! In anticipation of our 75^th Anniversary, in 2008 we began collecting ballots from visitors voting for their five favorite works of art in the MWPAI Museum of Art collection. Three years, and hundreds of votes later, we now have a list of the top 75 Favorites. Most of the works are currently on view in the galleries; some with comments that visitors included on their ballots. Here they are order; with the Voyage of Life topping the list. We are interested in continuing to hear from friends and visitors, please leave a comment here, or call our audioguide comment line and leave your comments on the results or speak up for your favorite, whether it is on the list or not! To leave your comment, call 315-214-6454, when you hear the greeting, simply press 0, and #.
