The Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University has been awarded two major federal grants totaling $250,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for the conservation of the landmark mural and masterpiece by modern artist Joan Miro. The announcement of the Ulrich Museum as a grant recipient from both organizations in 2012 is significant because the Ulrich is the only Kansas museum to receive both the NEA and IMLS grants in 2012 and is the only Kansas museum to receive the maximum grant amounts from the NEA ($100,000) and IMLS ($150,000).
