| WELCOME TO THE RUSSELL CENTER | |
|
| |
Through its library, symposia, course offerings and outreach programs, the Russell Center engages students and the public in developing a better appreciation of 19th- and 20th-century Western and Native American art. Special focus will be given to the art of Charles M. Russell and his contemporaries.
The Russell Center was established in 1998 at the University of Oklahoma School of Art along with an endowed position in art history, the Charles Marion Russell Chair. Both were made possible through the generosity of the Nancy Russell Trust, with matching funds from the State of Oklahoma. The Russell Center is directed by B. Byron Price, formerly director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, and director of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The Russell Center was founded under the direction of noted author and museum director Peter H. Hassrick, now founding director emeritus. | |
