Central Washington Art
The Doug + Laurie Kanyer Art Collection began in 1978. A majority of the collection resides in the private residences of the Kanyers and their grown children. The original focus of the collection was to build a historical archive of artworks with the intention of the art being donated to Yakima Valley Museum for the people of Central Washington. At present, 161 works of art have been gifted to the Museum.
