  •      art and architecture librarians
  •      visual resource curators
  •      library assistants and students
  •      art historians and critics
  •      book publishers and dealers
  •      artists, architects, and designers
  •      museum and gallery personnel
  •      collectors and appreciators
  •      retired persons from these fields

Fall Meeting News

The Fall meeting was held on Monday, November 16, 2009 at the Highpoint Center for Printmaking. We met from 9:30 A.M. to 11:45 A.M and discussed Chapter business and then took a tour of the printmaking facility. Many thanks to Carla McGrath, Executive Director, and Cole Rogers, Artistic Director & Master Printer, for taking the time to share their wonderful facility with us. Here are some photos from the tour. Here are the minutes from the meeting.

We also want to thank Janice Lurie and Kristen Mastel who are nearing the ends of their terms as Chair and Secretary/Tresurer. Jessica McIntryre will be taking over as Chair, Kristen Mastel will be Chair-Elect, and Melissa Aho will be the new Secretary/Treasurer.
