Mixed Media is dedicating the next 3 posts to the hardworking interns that assisted us in the summer!
During our Membership Drive Fair on Saturday, July 28th, 2012, guests will have the chance to purchase Limited Edition, Hand Made T-shirts made by our very own Curatorial Trainee’s, Nastassia Pratt and Averia Wright.
For the experienced or budding collector, the practising artist and museum or gallery professional, there will come a day when artwork needs to be shipped over international or local waters. The Mixed Media team has touched on the issue of conservation of works on paper and paintings in the past. A brief portion was dedicated to the shipping and handling of artwork, however, being a complicated topic, today’s post will explore the different methods of preparing, packaging and transporting art.
A typical museum has a variety of departments and a very important one is Membership. In a museum, one of the first things a visitor will see is a banner or some sort of leaflet, describing the advantages of joining with the institution. But what does membership exactly do? At The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) there is no separate department that makes up membership. Rather, Curatorial Trainee’s, Nastassia Pratt and Averia Wright spearhead the NAGB’s Membership Program. Straddling two teams, they have a lot on their plate.
Hi everyone, my name is Cydne Coleby – one of the NAGB’s newest volunteers. Outside of my volunteering, I am currently a second year Art major at the College of The Bahamas, but I was recently accepted to OTIS College of Art and Design to study Digital Media, and I am currently in the process of transferring over for the upcoming fall semester.
