Brief but important. /Angelynn

I was introduced to the "top secret curatorial office" this week, and have been spending most of my time in there since. Yep, more reading and getting acquainted with the goods. I went through numerous files of artists who have worked with MoCA Tucson. Additionally, I also worked with Allison in the Development department. We sorted out some more items from the LGA Gala auction items and contacts their winning bidders. She was great and very patient with answering all of my questions regarding MoCA, the Committee, and the Board of Directors, as I hadn't a strong and clear idea of who what is and what it is they do.

Unfortunately, this is all I can share with you for this week as my week has been cut short at the MoCA: Reed College (Portland, Oregon) is flying me out to meet and spend some time with them! Before I go, though I will not be attending the Museum Studies session this coming Friday, I hope you will check it out at MoCA's website at http://www.moca-tucson.org/.
