Art Storage Cabinets Acquired
Generous 2009 donations of African art collections
necessitated the purchase of twelve more state-ofthe
art storage cabinets. Seven flat files, and five
lockable cabinets, each with shelves and drawers
of various heights, accommodate many objects in
a dust-free environment. Their efficient design and
use of space solve current storage challenges, and
will minimize future ones.
Douglas Bradley, curator of the arts of the Americas,
Africa, and Oceania, moves recent African art
donations into new storage cabinets.

2009 Art & Architecture Tour Series
Studio Arts on Grape Road inspired the would-be
artists in our group eager to learn more about oil
and pastel painting, calligraphy, book art, and
papermaking, while the less talented among us could
only admire and covet their skills.
A visit to the summer studio of professional artist
Diane Tesler in Kewanna was so much more than a
beautiful day in the country. The acclaimed instructor
from the D.C. area winsomely conveyed her fondness
for the region’s farms and structures.
