FALL/WINTER 2008

From the Museum Educator

We have several new, exciting special exhibitions scheduled for the 2008-2009 school year; Advocates of Abstract Art, FROLIC: Humor and Mischief in Taiwanese Art, The Figure in Pre-Columbian Art, and Art of East Asia, China and Japan.

While these shows are clearly quite disparate in terms of content, they share an emphasis on processes of creation, an invaluable tool for education, and for making art accessible to the widest possible range of viewers. By addressing artistic process, a museum can demystify objects which may otherwise seem to be intellectually inaccessible. This is not to say that we lose the "wow" factor when we look at how a piece is made, but rather that we add another dimension to our appreciation of it. It serves as an additional opportunity for us to develop personal connections to the visual arts.
