staff notes
The museum received a number of awards from the Southeastern Museums Conference in Octo- ber. In its Excellence in Exhibi- tions Competition, both “Material Georgia 1733–1900: Two Decades of Scholarship” and “Mary Lee Bendolph: Quilted Memories” received honorable mentions . The museum’s Daily Inspiration series on Instagram snagged a bronze for digital marketing in SEMC’s Technology Competition , in a particularly competitive year. The exhibition catalogue for “Materi- al Georgia,” designed by Thomas Dang, was awarded an honorable mention in the Publication Design Competition for books and cata- logues. And, last but very much not least, our co-publication with the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, “Deborah Roberts: The Evo- lution of Mimi,” designed by Roy Brooks (Fold Four), received Best in Show for publication design .
In late November 2020, the muse- um finished reinstalling its Martha Thompson Dinos Gallery to create a lasting space for Russian art. The display consists primarily of objects from the Parker Collection and the Belosselsky-Belozersky Collection , together spanning nearly three centuries of art.
Patricia Hanson, our grants coor- dinator, retired at the end of 2020, after two years with the museum. She always referred to working here as her “dream job,” and we’ve often seen her in the galleries, so we feel confident that she’ll come back to visit frequently.
