The museum campus is ever-growing and developing into an Art Block, nestled underneath live oak canopies on Washington Avenue. Creating The Traveler was a key element of WAMA’s long-term campus expansion, including the upcoming Creative Complex, an interdisciplinary and STEM education center. “And a visit to The Traveler to get coffee or breakfast or lunch will support this educational programming,” adds Julian Rankin, Executive Director of WAMA. “It’s part of sustaining the museum.”
As the weather warms, several new events are slated for the outdoor performance stage. “We are planning concerts, movie nights, and star gazing,” Rankin said. “People can expect to see a lot of activity beyond our normal hours. We will have evening and weekend events, and people visiting The Traveler can expect to not only get coffee for their daily routine but also find a ton of new cultural and community programs they can utilize.”
