Susan and I will be bringing the museum stools to the Docent Potluck for extra seating, but if you can bring your own lawn chair, that would also be very helpful!
Lots of Tacoma Art Museum staff will also be there – maybe even as many staff as docents. J
See you next Wednesday, June 20!
Let me know if you need directions to my house.

Subject: TAM: End-of-Year Docent Potluck Party
This year's End-of-Year Docent Potluck Party will be at Heide's house in Tacoma on Wednesday, June 20 from 5:00-8:00 pm!
And a special thank you to Sue Stibbe and Margaret Upshaw who both generously offered to host the End-of-Year Party at their homes – it didn't work out this year but there is always next year!
This will be an informal potluck dinner where we will eat and drink and socialize. And you are welcome to bring a partner or any other special person who you would like to meet your fellow docents and Tacoma Art Museum education staff.
What should you bring?
If your last name begins with:
Tacoma Art Museum will provide refreshments.
Please RSVP to me (Heide) if you do plan on coming, and also let me know if you are bringing a guest.

Here are the two labels for Sparkle Then Fade that were not in the original set that was emailed to you.
The complete, updated document of Sparkle object labels is also attached.
Monique van Genderen (born Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 1965)
“…a fondness for fairytales and a love of cash…” part II, 2007
Enamel and latex paint and vinyl on wall

Monique van Genderen considers herself a romantic painter. Her ethereal imagery and otherworldly materials evoke places found only in dreams. In this installation, van Genderen uses the seductive and inky blue/black surface on the smaller wall to reflect the amorphous shapes that cover the second wall. She uses these two walls as tools to create the actual work of art: the reflections that hover in a pictorial illusion that has no physical boundaries. This interplay between reflection and color suspends the belief in the tangible world in the same way that fairytales transcend both truth and fiction.
Jeffrey Simmons (born Cincinnati, Ohio, 1968)
Scatter and Amass, 2007
Alkyd and urethane resin on canvas over panel

Jeffrey Simmons (born Cincinnati, Ohio, 1968)
Flux, 2002
Alkyd, Mylar, and epoxy resin on canvas over wood panel
Tacoma Art Museum, Gift of David Lewis in honor of
Dr. Gregory Lewis, Nancy Cole, and Delbert Lewis
Jeffrey Simmons’s meticulous paintings meld various traditions in abstract painting from the hard-edged abstractions of early modernists to op art of the 1960s. Simmons’s primary interest is the optical relationships of carefully-chosen color combinations. By using a base layer of reflective Mylar, Simmons heightens these effects. As the viewer moves about the gallery, the painted imagery appears to shift and glisten. The apparent changes in the painting’s imagery are an optical illusion made possible by the reflective Mylar.
