Today at the museum I got to scan images that will be used for a future project. I know that seems like the most entertaining work ever, but as I scanned, I realized the vast range of artists that GMOA represents. It is nothing short of amazing. There are decades worth of artists represented using various styles, different media – it’s mind boggling.
When I think of all the great artists that we (UGA students) have at our disposal, it makes me proud to be part of an institute dedicated to preserving history and culture, and proud to be part of institute that takes visual notes and compiles them so we can have a cheat sheet later in life when asked what happened in such-and-such era.
We are lucky to have people who are so devoted to collecting art and conserving it so others can learn from it, but the greatest thing in my opinion is that the museum staff is as devoted to promoting art as it is to conserving it.
The museum currently has on display the Masters of Fine Arts exhibit. This highlights students who have completed their masters program at the university and celebrates their accomplishments.
I walked through the galleries before it was open to the public (yeah, I got it like that) and was amazed at the skill of the students and the depth of their work. I am very glad that such creative minds remain among us.
I invite everyone to come to the museum and see what is on display but for now, I need to go scan.
