First,
my apologies for posting again so quickly, but perhaps you will all be
forgiving when you see the reason for more verbiage from me. My posts will
relate retrospective thoughts about Frisco Arts (as I said before), but also
experiences from an internship at the UT Southwestern Medical Center! Today I
received confirmation that I was selected for this exciting opportunity to help
catalog and research the extensive art collection (approximately 5,000 pieces
of art) displayed in the buildings of the large complex in Dallas! Dr.
Evans was so supportive and encouraging (as always) and agreed that I should
include this new circumstance in my communication with you all.
My
expectations are that I will learn about the process of registering and
organizing a collection, have the chance to view lots of art (probably high
quality), and share information with the community about what is usually only
seen by a handful of people. There are some recognizable artists in the
collection (more about that later), but that doesn’t matter to me so much as
the art itself. I’ve always been a fan of under-represented artists! Perhaps I
will be able to promote some of them further.
June
9 is my first day, so I’ll be checking in again around the middle of June.
Good
luck to everyone in your own exciting adventures!

HOORAY, Linda! I am thrilled for you and this opportunity at UT Southwestern! I am so excited that you will be getting to work with objects in such close contact. I can't wait to hear about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the perfect internship for you, Linda! I am interested to see what you learn here, and I am especially excited to hear about any under-represented artists you may learn about. Hope you're having a blast!
