It is with deep sadness and profound respect that the Zimmerli acknowledges the passing of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), a visionary artist, educator, and activist whose life’s work transcended boundaries and bridged cultures. Her extraordinary contributions to contemporary art and her tireless advocacy for Indigenous voices have left an indelible mark on the art world and beyond.

Past is Prologue, by Mason Gross professor emeritus Patrick Strzelec, provides an inviting atmosphere on the front terrace of the Zimmerli, making art accessible to visitors and passersby. The artist created it as a monument the Class of 1965, which funded the commission of the sculpture, "to reflect their magic, their trajectory, their innocence, the fervor to do right, that this might live with us— and on this campus—forever.” (9/5/24)
