Subject: Traveling Exhibition(s) Wanted
For our client, a museum that focuses on Western Art and Native American
Culture, we would appreciate knowing what art and/or historical traveling
exhibitions are available. We may need to book an exhibition for a timeslot
beginning mid to late-November 2002, but information about future
exhibitions in these genres and cultures would also be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Dear Geri,
Here are four low cost exhibitions with various open tour dates that may
interest you. Only the latter two may be available as soon as 2002; the
first two open in 2003.
MOVERS & MAKERS: Doris Ulmann Portraits from the Craft Revival is an
exhibition designed to provide background into the revival, its roots and
extended branches. Allen Eaton, author of Handicrafts of the Southern
Highlands is one of the leaders pictured along with Katherine Pettit,
William Frost, Olive Dame Campbell and more. Exhibition opens July 2003 at
the History Museum of Western Virginia. Pending funding, a catalog will be
available at the 2003 Smithsonian Folklife Festival; tour dates through
2004.
BY HAMMER AND HAND: Contemporary Repousse´
Repousse´ is a technique in which a two-dimensional sheet of metal is
hammered repeatedly into a three-dimensional form. Because repousse´ is so
time-consuming, only a handful of artists use this technique in the US
today. This national exhibition will attempt to define the extent of such
work and provide historical background, technical information, and
educational materials. Tour begins at the William King Regional Art Center
in Sept. 2003; through mid 2005.
A CENTURY OF CONTRIBUTION: Christiansburg Institute and Educational Change
in Virginia
This exhibition, made possible with funds from the Virginia Foundation for
the Humanities, details the 100-year history of a model African American
educational institution which was housed in fourteen buildings on a
landscaped 185-acre campus in southwest Virginia. The exhibition has
traveled to museums throughout Virginia and to historically black colleges
in South Carolina and Alabama; tour extended through 2005.
ARCADIAN MONUMENTS: Fading Images of Rural America
The buildings pictured in this exhibition are modest, yet important to our
understanding of history and provide a sense of identity. Each is paired
with a single word to encourage contemplation of their collective meaning.
Thirty framed photographs, in addition to explanatory text, make up the
exhibition. The exhibition is being circulated by the Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts statewide services in cooperation with Curatorial InSight;
available through 2005.
Exhibitions available from: CURATORIAL INSIGHT
