The Bob Regier Legacy Collection was created at Kauffman Museum in 2025 in collaboration with Bob Regier to preserve digital and physical artifacts that he donated to the museum. The Collection represents a lifetime of individual creations and collegial collaboration that bridged the conventional boundaries of art and design, working artist and teacher/mentor, trained artist and digital pioneer. Bob’s legacy at Kauffman Museum included over 35 years of award-winning exhibit and graphic design. The Bob Regier Legacy Collection at Kauffman Museum is a companion to Bob’s files at the Mennonite Library and Archives, and his artwork held by the Department of Visual Arts and Design, all at Bethel College.
