On September 13th, the staff of the Art Collection welcomed
new graduate students of Georgetown University's inaugural Museum
Studies program with a tour of Carroll Parlor and a reception
and print viewing in Lauinger Library's Murray Room. The event
was designed to introduce students and new faculty to the
diverse holdings of the art collection, its programs, teaching
mission, and opportunities for student internships and employment.
LuLen Walker, Art Curator, describes past educational opportunities,
exhibitions, and scholarly activities in the Art Collection with
a display of photographs and publications.
Ms. Walker discusses some recent acquisitions including the
Studley-Pickard collection of historic Washington views, the
painting Stoop Sitting, Old Georgetown by Gladys
Nelson Smith, and a pastel portrait of Cardinal Avery Dulles
by Wiliam Carl
Groh. Illustrating the range of important artwork available
for study in the Art Collection are prints by Grace Albee,
Hiroshige
and James Barry.
