Forty-eight artworks and artifacts from more
than 10,000 that are included in the
Permanent Collection of the Montana Museum
of Art & Culture will be featured during two
exhibitions that open March 17 in the
museum's Paxson and Meloy galleries.
"Campus Picks -- Permanent Collection Works
Selected by Campus Community" will be on
view in the Meloy Gallery. "The Fra Dana
Collection: Preservation and Conservation" will
be in the museum's Paxson Gallery. The
exhibitions will be at the museum through
Saturday, May 16.
"Campus Picks" highlights the diversity of the
Permanent Collection, as well as the art
preferences of the University community.
Works included in the exhibition were chosen
by a committee of 25 University community
members that included faculty members,
deans, students, staff and administrators.
"The Fra Dana Collection" showcases the
museum's recent preservation and
conservation of Permanent Collection works
and features 23 paintings by the artist and her
teachers and friends Alfred Maurer, E. William
Gollings and Joseph Henry Sharp. Viewers can
observe "before" photographs of the artworks
alongside the restored paintings.
MMAC will hold two events that are free and
open to the public in conjunction with the
exhibitions:
