Along the Columbia: Maya Lin and the Confluence Project will be on display at Whitman’s Maxey Museum from April 23 to July 30, 2021. Over twenty years ago, Lin was commissioned by a group of arts patrons and tribal leaders of the Columbia River Plateau and the Pacific Northwest to create a major work of public art in remembrance of the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark’s 1804–1806 journey to the Pacific Ocean. The result is the Confluence Project. Left: Maya Lin in 2005 working on a basalt fish-cleaning table for Cape Disappointment State Park on the Washington coast. (Whitman College and Northwest Archives); Right: The Vancouver Land Bridge, completed in 2008, was a collaboration between the architect Johnpaul Jones and the artist and architect Maya Lin.
