The City of Moses Lake Museum & Art Center is renaming the Community Gallery in honor of long-time Museum employee Ramon Cerna. Mr. Cerna worked for the Museum first as a volunteer and then as an employee in a part-time capacity as exhibit designer and exhibit installer for 30 years. He resigned from the position last year to focus on retirement and his own projects. His talent at hanging attractive, engaging art shows that varied from cut paper to sculpture made us look exceptional for many years.
His professionalism and calm, assured presence in the Museum gave us the confidence to book shows that had a high degree of difficulty. Ramon also helped design exhibits and props for the Museum, frequently going above and beyond his role as installer. He trained other staffers to hang art shows with confidence.
His support for the Museum is long-standing. In 1989 he was an integral part of the group that campaigned to save the Museum when it was in danger of closing due to budget cuts. His work was instrumental in helping the Museum grow from its store front locations to the world-class facility we inhabit today. Ramon would never ask for recognition for himself, one of the many qualities that makes him the ideal person for this honor.
