TAM Docents: Hide/Seek Podcasts from the National Gallery

Hello Docents-

Below are a couple of podcasts that tie into the Hide/Seek exhibition from the National Gallery website. Interesting stuff.

I placed an order for the Hide/Seek catalog today so that we will have the opportunity to start the readings therein. If you have ideas about what you would like to see in terms of training opportunities for this and other upcoming exhibitions, I am working on training calendars now and your feedback would gladly be taken into consideration as I move forward on that.

It is not clear whether this piece will be included in the exhibition here yet but I included it because there is some interesting information that could still be useful in regards to Marsden Hartley.

 

 

Thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum!

TAM Docents: Flora Book Exhibtion Information

Hello Docents-

The George and Mary Davis Gallery on the second floor is now home to The Eloquent Silver Curve: The Jewelry of Flora Book. I have attached the labels and wall texts. I am working on setting up a time to meet with Flora Book but that will likely not occur until September. If you have questions meanwhile, please do not hesitate to ask and I will get you any information that I am able. Fortunately, we have had numerous jewelry exhibitions that can help lay the foundation for this one.

Thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum!
