Carrying Marlene’s Legacy Forward

The Marlene Yu Museum is more than a tribute to a visionary artist.
It’s a living platform to carry Marlene Yu’s environmental message forward through art, education, and community connection.

Marlene’s body of work is vast, vibrant, and stems from one truth:
Nature is powerful. Nature is fragile. We are all interconnected. Let’s protect it, together.

That message now lives in the museum’s programs—not only on the walls, but in:

  • Children’s workshops that plant seeds of creativity and inspire awe of nature

  • Group and solo exhibitions that spotlight artists continuing the green movement

  • Community events and conversations that bring people together across backgrounds

  • Collaborations that fuse art, science, fashion, food, dance, and more

  • Hands-on projects in-person and ONLINE that invite people to engage, not just observe

And this is only the beginning.
