Program Announcement
Behind the Scenes at the Asian Art Museum
Wednesday, June 11, 2003, 1:30-5:00 PM
Asian Art Museum, San Francisco
Moving an institution to a new facility presents great opportunities
and challenges. Join us as we explore the new Asian Art Museum. Arrive
early and participate in exclusive tours with Asian Art Museum Staff and
hear the inside story on how they planned and prepared for expanded facilities
and programs at their new site. Forrest McGill (Chief Curator), Brian
Hogarth (Director of Education), Deborah Clearwaters (Manager of Public
Programs), and Alina Collier (Resource Center Coordinator), will discuss
the surprises and insights discovered in the process of opening their
new museum location.
We expect this to be an extremely popular program. Attendees
must RSVP for this program by responding via e-mail to: info@cultural-connections.org.
Attendance is limited to the first 100 people who RSVP.
