The Virginia Historical Society has open venues for its traveling exhibition, An Artist's Story: Civil War Drawings by Edwin Forbes.

John Edwin Forbes served as a war correspondent and was "embedded" with the Union Army from 1862-1864. His field sketches appeared as engravings in the pages of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and they did much to shape public perceptions about the American Civil War-then and now.  In this moving exhibit we highlight 45 framed images based on the artist's wartime sketches, also included is one reproduction copper printing plate and one main text panel.


We are seeking venue prospects especially for November 2013- February 2014 and July 2014 - October 2014, other dates in 2015 are also open.   The exhibition is approximately 1,000 square feet; the rental period is 4 months with a display period of 3 months.  The rental fee is $5,000 in addition to inbound shipping costs. Interested institutions should send your AAM Facility Report to Rebecca A. Rose, Registrar, Virginia Historical Society at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and request more information.

Thank you.
