museum notes
gifts
The Georgia Museum of Art received the following gifts between April 1 and June 30, 2020.
Staff Notes Yvonne Ceelen , an events manager at the museum, has left to move back to her home in the Netherlands but hopes to visit in the future. Candice Lawrence , assistant editor and hand at the helm of Facet for the past year, has also left the museum for a position at the University of Georgia Press while she completes her master’s degree at the University of Georgia. Gabriella Victorio has joined the museum as Parker Research Assistant. Victorio is the museum’s first Parker Foundation Fellowship recipient and previously served as a curatorial intern under Asen Kirin, the museum’s Parker Curator of Russian Art. Victorio says she is “enthusiastic about seeing the new acquisitions selected by Dr. Kirin and how they connect to our existing works in the collection.” Facet Has a New Look You may have noticed, if you’re a longtime subscriber, that this issue of Facet has a new look. The previous design launched in 2011, with the opening of the museum’s new wing, almost 10 years ago, and it was time to revisit it, much as we loved the oversized format. We surveyed many of you to find out what you liked and didn’t like about the previous format, the types of articles we include and more, and then we talked. And talked. And talked. We think you’ll find the new format a little more usable although as fun and design-forward as ever. You said you wanted more articles on works from the collection. You got it. You wanted a slightly smaller trim size. We did that, too. We aligned the look more strongly with UGA’s brand guide- lines, with fonts and colors that draw from the strong brand of our parent organization. And we thought about some creative solutions. The cover wrap protects the outside of the magazine, it serves as a table of contents and it allows us to do a pull- out calendar of events in an affordable way. We think the new format is more flexible (better for small and large articles alike) and more readable while still being driven first and foremost by art.
