The CVAD Galleries and the Texas Fashion Collection

Hello Everyone! I hope that you are all doing well this fine February (I can't believe January is already over!!). 

This spring I am so excited to continue on as the Onstead Fellow in Museum Education at the CVAD Galleries. This semester, I am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with Annette Becker, director of the Texas Fashion Collection, on the exhibition Delight that will be in the CVAD Galleries this summer. 

For this exhibition, I will be writing a short essay for the publication that will accompany the show. In addition, I will work to create virtual programming and resources (including short videos) that can accompany the exhibition. I am very excited to be a part of this and to really get to see all that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to putting an exhibition together. 

Another fun thing that I did a couple of weeks ago-- I got to move around some art in the galleries. It was so cool to me to be able to put on a pair of gloves and actually be so close to a work of art. Even though it was a small thing, I thought it was super exciting! One of the best things about being a part of a smaller institution is that you really do get to do a little of everything.

As a whole, I am very glad that this semester I am able to complete all of my hours face-to-face at the galleries and the Texas Fashion Collection. It is great to see some new faces regularly and to work in a different space (I am definitely getting to that point where working from home is almost unbearable).

I hope that you all have a great start of 2021!
