It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel our annual fundraising event, Night at the Museum, scheduled for May 30. Thank you for all your support of the Wenatchee Valley Museum. We stand together with our cultural partners, public agencies, and civic and community partners to slow the spread of COVID-19 and support the efforts to do what is necessary and effective to stem the outbreak.

We look forward to gathering with you to celebrate arts and culture in our community as soon as we are safely able.

This is a challenging time for you, for Wenatchee, and for your Museum.

If you hold tickets to this event and are willing and able to donate their value to the Museum we thank you.

Environmental Film Series: The Story of Plastic Q&A Session
2020-07-28 12:00 - 13:00 | WA
Environmental Film Series: The Story of Plastic Q&A Session

You’re invited to view the “The Story of Plastic”, and participate in a follow-up Zoom Q&A Session with Jana Fishback, Executive Director of Sustainable Wenatchee on Tuesday, July 28 from 7 – 8 PM. Click here: 61981.blackbaudhosting.com/61981/Online-Film to register and a link to the film will be sent to you. Preview the film at your leisure and join us for a Q&A Session with local plastics experts on Tuesday, July 28 from 7 – 8 PM. Get your questions answered and learn how you can change the way we make, use, and throw away plastic to help improve the sustainability and health of our community.
“The Story of Plastic” takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. “The Story of Plastic” features interviews with experts and activists on the front lines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world, and the global movement that is rising up in response. With engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 1930s, and first-person accounts of the unfolding emergency, the film distills a complex problem that is increasingly affecting the planet’s and its residents’ well-being.
Special thanks to our sponsor: Sustainable Wenatchee, a 501(c)3 non-profit that works to promote a culture of environmental stewardship and social sustainability in North Central Washington.
This film is a part of the Wenatchee Valley Museum’s Environmental Film & Speaker Series. Sponsorship support from foundations, community sponsorships, and individual giving allows us to offer these programs free to the community. This series helps connect our community to the world around us, raise awareness of issues impacting the environment upon which we all depend, and identify actions our community can take to improve and sustain our world and our Valley.

Social Justice Series: Health Disparities and COVID-19
2020-08-07 05:00 - 06:00 | WA
Racial and economic disparities in health care are known factors contributing to higher morbidity and mortality among those with lower income, and black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), as compared to white Americans. These disparities have a dual impact – not only are they resulting in differences in the actual care and treatment that COVID-19 patients receive, but they also put people in BIPOC communities at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 in the first place. Join a panel of local community members on Friday, August 7 at 12 PM on Zoom and from the Museum’s Facebook page on Facebook Live. Questions may be submitted in advance to info@wvmcc.org, or live via Zoom Q&A, Zoom Chat, or FB Live.
