"We are thrilled to receive an NEA grant and look forward to completing the renovation of the gallery, which houses our collec tion of Native American art, by next spring," said John Olbrantz, director of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. The Grand Ronde Gallery is the fourth and final permanent gal lery at the museum slated for renovation.
