Good morning,

 

As you may have already read in this morning’s News Tribune or on The Stranger’s Slog, we have announced that the Hide/Seek exhibition is coming to Tacoma Art Museum next spring. Before I send the information to the entire press corps, I wanted to touch base with all of you.

 

If you receive any phone calls or emails about Hide/Seek, please route them to me and I will help respond to them. This is not only so that we can keep track of inquiries and comments about the exhibition, but also so that our messaging about it stays consistent.

 

So that you have all the info (and more) that I’m giving to the press, I’ve attached our press release about the exhibition along with some talking points we’ve created to address some issues that may come up in relation to Hide/Seek.

 

In case you’d like to read the articles that were posted this week, click below:

Thanks!

Hello Docents-

Based on  the number of undeliverable email messages I have received, the attachment I sent may be too large since it is very image heavy. As mentioned below, copies will be available at the Docent desk.

Thank you,

Hello Docents-

Attached is a very spiffy gallery guide for Dale Chihuly’s Northwest. I have printed 2 color copies – one for the book and one that you can take into the gallery during tours. At least one should exist for use by visitors up in the area of the gallery but I thought you might want a mobile copy just for docents, nothing too fancy, of course.

Have I told you lately how much Tacoma Art Museum appreciates all that you do? TAM Docents are AWESOME!!!!

Thank you,

-Jana

Dear Jana:

 

Love that the new "Chihuly's Northwest" exhibit has finally opened. It still takes my breath away when entering the room. There's definitely a WOW factor that surrounds you!!

 

This morning, since I'm not as familiar with Edward Curtis' whole story, I've been doing some reserach on Edward S. Curtis and the photogravure process. I came across two wonderful links that our docents will surely find helpful:

 

1) The Smithsonian in Washington DC has a wonderful link on Edward Curtis:

http://www.sil.si.edu/Exhibitions/Curtis/curtis-navigation.htm

 

2) And this link to The Art of Photogravure is very informative, especially the Photogravure Process with step-by-step illustraions.The site also highlights artists, including Edward S. Curtis, who worked with this photogravure process.

Enjoy!

Elizabeth
