FROM THE DIRECTOR

The Hilliard University Art Museum is alive with activity again as we head into the fall semester!

This has been an exciting year of change at the museum. Read about the new additions to our staff on page 4. We are also proud to welcome six new members to the Hilliard Society Board of Directors. This vital group of museum supporters plays a critical role in the museum’s development, and they know how to have fun! Check out some of the elegant and entertaining events that the Hilliard Society hosts!

Through partnerships with both the UL campus and the Lafayette community we continue to present unique and multi-disciplinary programs to enrich your museum experience. Our current exhibition of George Rodrigue’s portraits of UL’s Flora Levy Lecture Series speakers is presented in collaboration with the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts. And for the second year in a row, we are partnering with Festivals Acadiens et Créoles with an exhibition of paintings by artist, Robert Dafford, during the 250th anniversary celebration of the arrival of the Acadians.

In the year ahead, we look forward to introducing you to our volunteers who will be helping to deliver our educational mission by engaging visitors in the galleries.

Free admission on Wednesday nights from 5-8 pm continues this Fall with special programs on most nights starting at 6 pm. Check the calendar on www.hilliardmuseum.org for details.

I am so grateful for the important role that you play as a member of the museum – thank you! I look forward to seeing you here again soon!

Welcome New Hilliard University Art MuseumTeam Members

RegistrarMisty Taylor

Marketing/Membership Manager

Jolie Johnson

Assistant to DirectorCami Joseph

Store, Admissions, and Events Coordinator

Brenna Heffner

This has been an exciting year of change at the museum. Four new staff members have joined the team:

Registrar, Misty Taylor, moved to Lafayette from New Orleans last year to care for the works in our permanent collection. Misty formerly worked as the Loans and Exhibi-tions Registrar at the LSU Museum of Art and in 2015 com-pleted a graduate certification from George Washington University in Museum Collections Management and Care. Misty is also a jewelry designer and previously apprenticed with silversmith, Ellis Joubert.

Marketing/Membership Manager, Jolie Johnson, joined the museum in August. Jolie has worked in multiple museum settings and roles, most recently as Museum Operations Coordinator at Vermilionville. Her experience targeting multiple audiences through museum pre-visit literature, artisan interpretation, and programs, as well as her grant writing skills, will strengthen the Hilliard Muse-um’s resources as we expand our education programs and fundraising efforts.

Store, Admission and Events Coordinator, Brenna Heff-ner, has returned to her alma mater to coordinate the “front of house” activities at the museum. Brenna is a folklorist with a Ph.D. in English from UL. She previously worked as graduate assistant to the Registrar/Curator at the Kentucky Museum in Bowling Green. Brenna brings a mission-driven approach to her work and her experience in both museums and retail is reflected in the recent remodel of the James W. Bean museum store.

Assistant to Director, Cami Joseph, just celebrated her one year anniversary at the museum. Cami’s excellent organizational skills and years of experience providing administrative support make for a very well-managed office. You have likely spoken to Cami by phone or been greet-ed by her at our opening receptions. Cami was born and raised in Acadiana and is active in New Kingdom Ministries International as well.

Behind the Scenes Tour and Tea

In July some of the museum's contributing members, joined by special guests Paul and Madlyn Hilliard and Gail and President Savoie, participated in our annual Behind the Scenes Tour and Tea. This tour, led by the Director LouAnne Greenwald and Registrar Misty Taylor, is a rare opportunity to see the storage areas not normally open to the public, experience some of the everyday preparation that goes into creating the exhibitions you see year round, and learn more about caring for our permanent collection. After the tour, members enjoyed tea, cucumber sandwiches by Joey’s and scones from Bibi's Patisserie.

1. When storing art avoid direct sunlight. Light damage is cumulative and cannot be reversed. UV in sunlight can cause fading of certain pigments in paintings, yellowing of varnish, and excessive heating of the paint surface.

2. Art benefits from cooler temperatures and low relative humidity. A good rule of thumb is to store art between 68 - 72 degrees F and a relative humidity of between 40 and 55 percent.

3. Keep photographic materials in enclosures that protect them from dust and light and provide physical support during use. Chemically stable plastic or paper enclosures free of sulfur, acids, and peroxides are recommended.

4. When storing ceramics and glass, pieces can be wrapped in acid-free, lignin-free tissue and stored in ac-id-free cardboard boxes. Newspaper and acidic newsprint paper can cause discoloration and stains and should not be used for wrapping or long term storage of ceramics and glass.

5. Pest management is extremely important when caring for art. Books and works on paper are very attractive to mice, silverfish, and other insects as a food source. Textiles and furniture can also make wonderful nesting places. Vigilant housekeeping will keep your art safe.

Art Under the Big SkySeptember 5, 2015 — January 2, 2016.

Art Under the Big Sky offers selections from the Yellowstone Art Museum’s permanent collection of contempo-rary and historic works of art from the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountain regions. Artists played an import-ant role in creating the imagery that influence western migration and the preservation of the world’s first nation-al park. From 19th century photographs to contemporary works by artists including Peter Voulkos and Deborah Butterfield, the exhibit captures the isolation, fruitfulness, spirit, and the passage of time as it is associated with the western landscape. The exhibition was organized by the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana in coop-eration with the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum.

Imprinting the West: Manifest Destiny, Real and ImaginedSeptember 5, 2015 — January 2, 2016.

Imprinting the West: Manifest Destiny, Real and Imagined: Westward expansion was one of the most transformational elements in American life through-out the nineteenth century. Printed imagery played an important role in the dissemination of knowledge and understanding about the West and those who inhabited it. Imprinting the West: Manifest Destiny, Real and Imag-ined features 48 hand-colored engrav-ings and lithographs that explore these depictions and the influence artists had on the perception of the wild west.

In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson purchased the expansive territory known as Louisiana from Napoleon, King of France, a transaction that extended the nation’s boundaries by 828,000 square miles, including all of present-day Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, and parts of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, New Mexico, Texas, Montana, Wyoming, Col-orado, and Louisiana. The Louisiana Purchase set the stage for great exploration and discovery, migration and settlement, in addition to struggle and conflict. Convinced that God wanted the country to extend to the Pacific coast—an idea called “Manifest Destiny”—scores of American citizens, including painters and printmakers, moved west.

The works featured in Imprinting the West explore the potent imagery of the time that shaped how the American Indians and the west were understood. Westward expansion in the nineteenth century was intertwined closely with the experienc-es of American Indian peoples. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 dislocated native populations in the east to areas west of

the Mississippi River and was justified by the self-serving claim that the so-called “savages” would wither in the presence of “civilization.” The migration westward and settlement of white Americans only accelerated territorial tensions, which often culminated in bloodshed.

Several artists, including George Catlin, aspired to document the appearance and ways of the so-called “vanishing race.” Artists also accompanied gov-ernmental geographical surveys of the west, making landscapes and portraits that illustrated official publications. Such images were available in a vari-ety of printed formats: portfolios of lithographs, prints made by creating and transferring an image on a pre-pared stone, were offered by subscrip-tion. Hand-colored lithographs, like those featured in Imprinting the West, were sold at higher prices. Paintings by well-known artists, such as western landscape painter Albert Bierstadt, were sometimes engraved for the mass market. Also, later in the century, art was engraved to illustrate articles in popular periodicals, including Harper’s Weekly and Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper. Much of this imagery was created with an international or an eastern audience in mind, and it both drew from and promoted fantasies about Native Americans and the west as much as it documented reality.

-Dr. Randall Griffey, Associate Curator of Modern American Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.

The Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum is pleased to present Imprinting the West, a program of ExhibitsUSA, a na-tional division of Mid-America Arts Alliance and The National Endowment for the Arts.

Also, on view:Selections from the UL College of Art Faculty exhibition continues through De-cember 12 with the addition of “Meet the Makers,” an education initiative made possible with the generous support of the Lafayette Convention and Visitors Commission Enterprise Fund. Six works in the exhibition will be accompanied by short videotaped interviews with the artists in their work spaces talking about the tools, materials, and processes with which they make their work.

Works from the Permanent Collection and Fiction as Fashion: The Art ofCarrie Ann Schumacher

Opening January 15

From the Vault: Picasso & Dali, Works on Paper

Born in Spain more than two decades apart, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) were not close, although there is little doubt each followed the other’s work. A recent exhibition at the Dali Muse-um in St. Petersburg, Florida has explored the fasci-nating commonalities, differences and intersections of their respective careers. With this in mind we thought it an excellent time to exhibit our portfolios by Spain’s greatest 20th century artists, Dalí ‘s Conquete du Cos-mos and Picasso’s Femmes et Faunes.

In January 2016, the museum will kick off the new year with new exhibitions featuring some rarely seen works from our permanent collection, as well as an installation of ten couture “romance novel dresses” by Chicago multimedia artist Carrie Ann Schumacher.

Fashion from Fiction: Romance Novel Dresses by Carrie Ann Schumacher

Prepare to be awed by Carrie Ann Schumacher’s glorious paper gowns, which are carefully constructed from the pages of old romance novels, and as much fun to look at as they are impossible to wear.

She started using book pages as a medium after coming across a box of unwanted romance novels at her local library. Although not trained in fashion design or sculpture, Schumacher’s creativity, imagination - and a lot of trial and error - have resulted in these intricate fusions of fiction and fashion. She has designed 21 dresses so far, each sparking a new idea for the next.

An avid reader herself, she takes inspiration from personal experiences, color, cuts of paper and texture that she then recreates in unique paper form. She said: “having that one piece of inspiration, whatever it is and wherever it came from, jump starts the entire dress and I react intuitively to what I have placed down and work off of that.”

Schumacher received her master of fine arts in painting from Northern Illinois University and her bachelor of arts in digital media from Elmhurst College. She is currently a faculty member at Kishwaukee College where she teaches computer art, introduc-tion to visual arts and digital imaging.

In March, faculty from the School of Architecture working in collaboration with alum Jim Garland (designer of the museum’s iconic water wall fountain) and supported by students, created L’eau de la Danse on the grounds of the museum. A 40’ tall bamboo structure was erected over several weeks in front of the historic A. Hays Town building.

On opening night, the nest of reeds clustered atop the bamboo poles transformed into a cloud of mist dramatically lit from be-low. After a crawfish boil organized by the AIA student chapter, guests enjoyed a site-responsive performance by the Schools of Dance and Music. Documentation of L’eau de la Danse is included in the current UL College of Art Faculty exhibition, on view through December.

In June the museum hosted an art camp in partnership with the UL Center for Gifted Education’s Summer Scholars pro-gram, a weeklong, residential program that serves gifted and high potential students in 7th – 10th grade. The 25 students found inspiration in the museum’s Environmental Impact exhibition, and using the A. Hays Town building as a makeshift classroom, created environmentally themed photography and poetry projects of their own.

CAMPUSCONNECTION

Portraits from the Flora Levy Lecture Series: Works by George Rodrigue highlights paintings of some of the guests who have presented at UL Lafayette’s annual Flora Levy Lecture. Subjects include Nobel Prize win-ning author Isaac Bashevis Singer, who spoke at the first lecture in 1980; Pulitzer Prize winner Shirley Ann Grau; Professor Robert Coles of Harvard University; and many other prestigious figures from the academic and artistic realms. The lecture series was conceived by Dr. Mau-rice DuQuesnay, an associate professor of English, and funded by Flora Levy, a Lafayette heiress and philan-thropist who left her fortune to the University. Posters from the paintings advertised the public lectures, and small quantities signed by both Rodrigue and the paint-ing’s subject sold each year to benefit the university.

This exhibition will be on view until January 2, 2016.

Thanks to the efforts of the museum’s outstanding Exhibits/Programs committee, which is chaired by Hil-liard University Art Museum Advisory Board member Dr. John Troutman, our Spring public programs were a resounding success. In the coming year we look forward to further collaborations with the Exhibits/Programs committee, which brings interdisciplinary programming to the museum, offering multiple lenses through which to view our exhibitions.

COMMUNITYCONNECTION

This fall the museum is pleased to partner with George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts on an exhibition of Rodrigue’s portraits of the Flora Levy lecturers from September 4 through January 2, and an exhibition of award-winning student art-work opening in November. This year’s lecture, George Rodrigue: Painting to the Frame, was held on September 23rd and led by William Andrews, executive director of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

Expulsion of the Acadians: The Epic Journey from Acadie to Louisiana, on view in the A. Hays Town building from September 4 through October 12, is presented in partnership with Festivals Acadiens et Créoles. The artist, Robert Dafford, is one of the most prolific and successful American muralists working today, with over four hundred large-scale public works in the United States and abroad. The exhibition, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Acadians, gathers Dafford’s Acadian paintings together for the first time, providing an artistic and informed look into theAcadian/Cajun experience.

In conjunction with the premiere of the Her Self: Works by Kathy Sosa exhibition, the muse-um partnered with the Association of Cultural Latino Acadiana (ACLA) to celebrate Cinco de Mayo a little early. Two hundred people joined us for a daylong celebration featuring food from Urbanos and Patacon, dancing with Cuca and Renee Segovia, music from the Nosotrus Children's Choir, and art activities with The Little Paintbrush.

In partnership with the Hilliard Society, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and Becky and Wyatt Collins, we hosted a book presenta-tion of Clementine Hunter: A Sketchbook, which features previously unpublished oil-on-paper works by Louisiana folk artist Clementine Hunter. The book also includes essays by Brad-ley Sumrall (Ogden Curator) and Richard Gas-peri, who were both present for a reception and book signing following the presentation.

And I am so pleased with the extended hours that they’re do-ing on Wednesdays, because I think it gives the general public, and students, more access to the museum.

What’s been your favorite recent exhibit?

Well, I’ve enjoyed a whole bunch of them, but my recent personal favorite was the Artistic Anderson Family from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. It’s funny, because I’ve always been inter-ested in Walter Anderson, his life and his art, and I’m also a member of the Friends of the Humanities, a non-profit organi-zation that supports the interdisciplinary humanities at UL. So some of us had read Mrs. Anderson’s book about her husband and traveled to Ocean Springs and went to the museum and Shearwater Pottery, where we were able to meet and talk to different members of the Anderson family. So when we found out that the exhibit was going to be at the Hilliard, we were so excited. And we thought we were coming into this exhibit with a lot of knowledge, and we were so pleasantly surprised to see how knowledgeable the curator, Lee Gray, was. Her depth of knowledge about the entire family and their work really impressed me.

Is there anything that you think would surprise people who have never been to the museum?Well I think the building itself is so impressive and I love the contrast between the Hays building, which is so traditionally southern and the contemporary art museum, with the blue lighting at night. I think the contrast between those two build-ings typifies the variety and the diversity of the exhibits. And they’ve been using the museum as a beautiful venue for other events, for instance my husband and I attended the perfor-mance by Sonny Landreth and Dicky Landry that was held in the main gallery amid all the art. It was just incredible. And also the museum gift shop, you can find items and gifts for all age groups. They have so much that they offer and I’d like to encourage the public to utilize the museum more often.

Thank you so much for speaking with us about your mem-bership.

Well of course, it’s been my pleasure.

10-Year Member Spotlight

When you think about the Hilliard University Art Museum, what comes to your mind?

I find that the Hilliard is just a little rare jewel right here in the middle of our community, and we are delighted to be able to take advantage of all their wonderful programming, and to encourage other people to do the same.

Your family have been members for a long time.

Yes, we’ve been members for many years, since the museum was in the A. Hays Town building. When my husband and I travel, we love to visit different museums and galleries, so we felt that to have a won-derful art museum at home was a real benefit to us, the community, and the university, so we wanted to support it.

What do you enjoy most about the membership?

The opportunity to preview exhibits before they open, I think that’s an incentive for membership, and also the Viewfinder publication.

What was your first impression of the Hilliard University Art Museum?

The building made me stop breathing for a moment it was so beautiful. I'm a minimalist and it felt like home and made me want to dance (and I'm not a good dancer).

What prompted you to become a member at the Hilliard University Art Museum?

Creativity is vital to me, and art is a part of that. I love that art can still move people, and cause them to feel something, whatever that something is. I realized that I had a membership to MOMA in New York and not my local Art Museum and I felt as though I wasn’t living up to the things I preach.

How often do you come to the museum?

It’s a place that I sneak into randomly, to think, to look, to gasp, to write, to just be. I will be there when I need to escape but don’t have time to leave town, when I need an idea for a proj-ect, when I need to remember that people are good.

New Member Spotlight

Besides free admission, are there any other member benefits you are excited about?

I’m excited that I get to support the work that is going on behind the scenes and the exhibitions that are coming. I think it’s called putting your money where your mouth is.

What do you like best about the museum?

Pretending it’s my home and I live there. If you find a bed in the corner please don’t move it - it’s part of an exhibition.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself.

My business card says: Roving Creative Director, Idea Thinker-Upper & Brand Experience Consultant. I help businesses develop and live up to their brand. I design both logos and customer experiences and have a lot of fun doing it. I also write the BE YOU column for The Times of Acadiana, give speeches on creativity, and have a range of illustrative work coming out soon.

Have museums played an important role in your life?

Very much so. My love affair with museums began when I was in the fifth grade. My mother was talking to my teacher one day and she said you know, “Jetta is very talent-ed – you should take her to the free draw-ing classes at the Cleveland Museum.” And so my mother took me and I tell you what, when I saw all the art I was awestruck. And I kept going back. For years I went every Saturday, and slowly I started helping out, just little things at first, like doling out the crayons. And then I got a part-time job there. Spending time at that museum made me want to go to art school, which I did. I graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art, which is right in the same neighbor-hood as the museum. After I graduated I became part of the staff at the museum, in the education department. You know at that time, people came from all over to the Cleveland Museum because their educa-tion department was so outstanding. They had an arrangement with the public school system to bring children into the museum regularly, which I just think is so important, to expose young people to art and encour-age them to look around, to learn how to be observant.

Donor Spotlight:Jetta MolterEarlier this year Jetta Molter met with Curator Lee Gray and Museum Director LouAnne Greenwald and decided to make the Hilliard University Art Museum a beneficiary of a planned gift in her will. Jetta, who is 87, was kind enough to sit down with us again at her beautiful home to discuss her lifelong love of art, and of museums.

How did you come to live in Louisiana?

When I was working at the museum in Cleveland they began to acquire some Pre-Columbian art, and I was fascinated by it. I decided I wanted to go to Mexico, so I took a trip to see the ruins of Teo-tihuacán. Amazing. And then I went to Yucatán, where I wound up managing the Hotel Hacienda Uxmal, which is a beautiful, historic facility at the heart of the archae-ological park, right across the street from the Uxmal Pyramids and Temples. I was there almost ten years. And then one day, these two tourists from New Orleans came, these young fellows. And one of them was especially hypnotized by the ruins. He wound up to be my husband. And I wound up in Louisiana!

What do you enjoy most about visiting museums?

I’m interested in history and I think when you walk through a museum you begin to make connections, based on what you know already, and you learn new things.

What was the single most important factor in your decision to make a gift to the museum?

It was a museum. (laughs) And I had visited there, and I was very impressed with it and with their educational work. And because of their association with the University.

Do you have a specific purpose in mind for your gift?

Well as it is right now I just trust LouAnne to do what she wants with it, because con-ditions change.

What would you tell someone who is considering making a planned gift to the Hilliard?

I think that anything that will cause people to look at things more carefully, to observe what’s going on around them, is a good thing, and museums are one of the best places people can learn how to do that. When you walk into a gallery, one thing will catch your eye but then you start looking around, seeing everything. Everybody who looks at a painting brings themselves to it, their background and sees something different.

Planned GivingA planned gift is a gift of capital that usually involves the assistance of a professional advisor, retained by the donor.

This type of gift may help address an estate planning objective, a family consideration, or a major tax issue. Because of economic and tax benefits, a planned gift often can make charitable giving more affordable for many donors. There are many types of planned gifts – to learn more contact LouAnne Greenwald, Museum Director at (337) 482-1369 orlouanne.greenwald@louisiana.edu

Hilliard Society Happenings

With the support of the HIlliard Society this past year, the museum hosted special events including member preview receptions for each season of new exhibitions; a pre-lecture reception honoring Bill Eiland and Gloria Callais, speaker and sponsor of the Bienvenu Lecture respectively; and a book signing featuring the newly published Clementine Hunter sketchbook.

In May, Hilliard Society members gathered at the museum for the annual meeting, enjoying brunch before outgo-ing President Joel Gooch welcomed guests and Director LouAnne Greenwald delivered the “year in review,” shared goals for the coming year and welcomed six new Board mem-bers: President Randy Haynie, Secretary-Treasurer Kathryn Scurlock, Joyce Bonin, Sue Munchrath, Andrew Robertson, and Don Briggs. In the coming year, the Hilliard Society will be focused on supporting the development of educational programming at the museum.

As state support for the arts and higher education has steadily diminished, the museum relies on private support, such as that of the Hilliard Society, to fulfill its mission to the campus, the community and beyond. Society members enjoy all the benefits of museum membership, as well as invitations to exclusive Society events and access to artists and our collection. For more information about joining the Hilliard Society, please contact LouAnne Greenwald, Museum Director, at (337) 482-1369 or louanne.greenwald@louisiana.edu

The museum is grateful for the leadership of Joel E. Gooch, a former partner in the Lafayette office of Allen & Gooch, who founded the Hilliard Society in 2013. Joel and his wife Janet have been loyal supporters of the museum for more than ten years and he will continue serving on the Hilliard Society Board as the immediate Past-President.

The Hilliard University Art Museum is grateful for the support of its donors and members. Your generous contributions allow us to present a broad range of exhibitions and to offer free admission to programs throughout the year.
