It's summer!

Hello all!

The warm weather is here, but unfortunately the garden is still under construction! But -- the new exhibit (Highlights from the Collection) is open now, and The Full Figure and Portraiture is still on view on the first floor. Stop by and check out both exhibits! A heads up to all those visiting the museum: the temporary entrance is located on Vernon Boulevard, directly across the street from Costco.

TAB is preparing for a summer hiatus from its regular meetings by going on a field trip to the Flux Factory (our neighbor in Long Island City, Queens) to meet with Kerry Downey, one of our amazing panelists from this past spring's inSIGHT workshop.

Though we must say goodbye to some of our members as they depart for college in the fall, TAB's work for the 2007-08 season is not done! This fall, TAB is excited to present an exhibit in the Noguchi Museum's education center that will focus on the documentation of the Tree of Heaven project -- including audio material, a photo exhibition, and a scrapbook that will serve as a guide to the show. This summer is time for organizing and designing our exhibit, but stay posted for information about the opening in the fall!

Have a great July! Soak up the sun!

TAB

P.S. There are openings on the Board for the 2008-09 season! For information about joining TAB, please email education@noguchi.org.

Success - in pictures!

Many thanks to all who came out to inSIGHT (our workshop for teens interested in art-related careers) on May 17th! Thanks especially to the Bronx Museum of Art's Teen Council for trekking out to join us! And once again, our deepest appreciation to our wonderful panelists: Katie Mangano, Kerry Downey, and Ascha Drake.
