Kunc’s work resides in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Museum of Nebraska Art, among others. Her influence is deeply felt—not only through her masterful prints, but in the communities she cultivates around the act of creation. The expansion honors this legacy, offering space not just for her practice, but for others to find and shape their own.
A courtyard, carved between the existing building and the new volume, becomes the project’s heart—an in-between space that encourages chance meetings, outdoor workshops, and quiet reflection. Entry is not immediate, but discovered. One slips through the courtyard, entering from the side, not the front—a gesture that invites a slower arrival, a deeper engagement. The new program includes a retail gallery, classrooms, and flexible gathering spaces—each connected to the courtyard and to each other.
