Sharon was so gracious as to look up some information that she was willing to share with all of you and I am passing it along.

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!

Hi Jana,
 
After reading the review of TAM's "Concise History of Northwest Art" in Sunday's paper, my curiosity regarding Abby Williams Hill lead me to find out a little more about her and her art.  U.P.S. was donated her collection following her death in 1943.  Apparantly her paintings are on display in Jones Hall and other locations on campus.  Of particular interest is an upcoming exhibit which will include collected papers, writings, photographs and ephemera, and the debut of an installation of Hill's paintings in the Collins Memorial Library's reading room.  The opening reception will be Oct. 22, 4:30-6 p.m.  The exhibit will be held thru Jan 5.  You may already have this info, but thought I'd share it just in case others might want to take advantage of this opportunity.  
 
See you Wednesday,
 
Sharon B.
