Art Museum Reflection Paper
Before visiting the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) to observe and analyze the art covered in class, I made sure to read the museum s mission statement. That way, it would be in my mind as I walked through the halls and moved from gallery to gallery and I could revisit it afterward. According to Seattle Art Museum s executive summary and strategic plan for 2014 2017, the museum s mission is a simple one: to connect art to life. Through art, the Seattle Art Museum enriches lives and engages diverse communities. As the leading visual art institution in the Pacific Northwest, SAM draws on its global collections, powerful exhibitions, and dynamic programs to provide unique educational resources benefiting the Seattle region, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond (Seattle Art Museum). Regarding the fact that I am writing this now and had the opportunity to observe and research many works of art proves their mission to be successful. Walking into the museum, I noticed that it already appeared to be much bigger on the inside than it did on the outside. The first two floors were lit mostly by natural light and provided museum visitors access to tickets, information about the museum, the gift shop, and some food. The remaining floors were dimmer and mostly just the art pieces were given light to eliminate distraction. The American, Native American, and modern/contemporary art was displayed on the third floor while the African, European, and Mediterranean art was found on the top floor. The three art pieces that interested me the most were all found on the third floor in mostly the modern and contemporary art section. To, help uncover the power of detail behind the artwork, I

PARAPHRASES
Original Material:
"The Phoenix art Museum boasts American and Western American, European, modern and contemporary, Latin American and fashion design collections, as well as an Asian art collection "Phoenix Art Museum".
My Paraphrase:
According to "Phoenix Art Museum" The phoenix museum contains a variety of contemporary art pieces that range from American, Western American, and Latin America. The museum boosts a diverse range of art pieces that transcend continents and cultures.
Original Material:
The Phoenix arts community is at a tipping point in many ways. We are fortunate to have a diverse, bilingual, socially-aware and arts-focused community surrounding us that is active and increasingly involved and influential with what we do at Phoenix Art Museum. We have more than 50 arts and culture organizations in the City of Phoenix alone that include galleries, artist's coalitions, art-oriented centers, museums, studios and more.
My Paraphrase:
The museum's diversity has provided the community with a wide range cultural wealth that originates from different countries. The surrounding community of the museum has provided a wealth of resources such as bilingual speaking and has influenced the success of the museum.
SUMMARY

Appleton Art Center Celebrates
City’s Sesquicentennial with New Exhibition
1857/2007: Then/Now
(APPLETON, WI) – 1857/2007: Then/Now brings together photographs and paintings from the time of
Appleton’s founding with works of art by local and regional artists from the present day. Featuring over 45 works,
some exhibited publicly for the first time, the exhibit is scheduled in conjunction with Appleton’s 150th
birthday
celebration activities. A free public reception is scheduled for Friday, July 20, 9am–5pm, in conjunction with
Appleton Downtown Inc.’s popular Art on the Town event.
A highlight of the exhibition is a portrait of Boston philanthropist, abolitionist, and Lawrence University founder,
Amos Lawrence, which was painted around 1885 by Adelaide Cole Chase. The surname of Lawrence’s wife,
Sarah Appleton, is the genesis of our city’s moniker.
Chase, a Boston native, studied with celebrated American painter Winslow Homer and finished the portrait of
Lawrence when she was a teenager. “The work was painted early in Chase’s career and toward the end of Amos
Lawrence’s life,” says art center intern and researcher, Jessica Justmann. “Chase studied painting at a time when
women were permitted limited access to art academies. She was fortunate that Winslow Homer was a family
friend.” The painting is on display after extensive restoration of the work’s original 19th
-century frame by the
Frame Workshop of Appleton.
The earliest images in the exhibition date from 1857, the year of Appleton’s founding and Lawrence University’s
first commencement ceremony, when the college graduated seven individuals—three women and four men. Two
ambrotypes depicting the graduates are on display. “Lawrence is the second-oldest co-educational college in the
country,” says Julia Stringfellow, Lawrence University Archivist, who helped secure some of the historical
material in the exhibition. “Those men and women were pioneers in American higher education.” This marks the
first time that these images are on public exhibition.
Among the other highlights from the 19th century are several rare maps of Appleton. On loan from private
collectors, maps from 1876, 1877, and 1895 reveal the early growth and development of Appleton on the Fox
River. Some of the first organized city plans were concentrated around the Lawrence campus, but by the end of
the 19th century, Appleton had grown in all directions on both sides of the Fox River.
Also included in the exhibition is a special display of photographs and documents related to the building itself and
the first businesses housed at 111 West College Avenue—the current downtown home of Appleton Art Center.
“Many veterans in the community will remember with fondness the Brettschneider Furniture Store,” said art
center director, Timothy Riley. “Members of the Brettschneider and Trettin families hired Hoffman Company to
build this edifice in 1922. Appleton Art Center is proud to be a good steward of that legacy, as we display
materials that bear witness to this building’s history.”
Works of art from the current century include photographs, paintings, and found-object installations inspired by
Appleton and its history. Works by Fox Cities artists John Luke, Caren Benzer (who will also be exhibiting at
Appleton Art Center’s Art in the Park on July 29), Karen Lee, Ben Geyer, RaeAnn Blom, Thomas H. Sutter, and
Ruth Rex are included in the show. “The contemporary material on exhibit is rich and diverse, much like our
community today,” says Timothy Riley. “There is some cutting-edge collaborative and non–objective work along
with some first-rate representational material.” Works by the late Thomas and Margaret Dietrich, long-time
2. Appleton artists, are also included. “A thematic common thread that weaves through the exhibit is the Fox River,”
says Riley. “For 150 years, the river has inspired artists and sparked the economy of Appleton. We owe much to
the Fox River.”
By special arrangement with Wisconsin’s first Poet Laureate and Appleton resident, Ellen Kort, Appleton Art
Center is pleased to display in the exhibition Kort’s new poem, “The Fox River.” Riley comments, “I heard Ellen
read her poem when she gave an inaugural reading last week. Upon hearing her prose, I was struck by the fact that
her words echo perfectly many of the visual themes in the exhibit. Ellen graciously permitted us to use her words
to help paint a picture of the Fox River—then and now—in this exhibit.”
Benefit Exhibition and Art Sale Also Scheduled This Weekend
Appleton Art Center has received hundreds of works of art from artists and collectors, who have given these
works on one condition: that they be sold and the proceeds benefit Appleton Art Center, its mission, and its
programs. A benefit exhibition and sale is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, July 19–20 (with a members-only
preview occurring Thursday evening, July 19, 5pm–9pm). Important works—all originals and many unframed—
by local, regional, and national artists will be on view and offered for sale. Pieces by Lester Schwartz, Charles
Mitchell, Ellen Kort, Margaret Dietrich, Jack Lembeck, and Michelle Grabner will be included in the exhibition
and sale. “I know that these works will find good homes. Every purchase benefits the visual arts in the Fox
Cities,” says Timothy Riley. “Artists and collectors have been exceedingly generous with contributions to this
sale. We are counting on the community to show its support by making a purchase or two—to further endorse the
notion that the visual arts are important here.”
The 1857/2007: Then/Now reception on July 20 and the Benefit Art Sale and Exhibition on July 19–20 are free
and open to the public.
Appleton Art Center was established in 1960 to promote, teach, and nourish the creation and appreciation of the visual arts through
exhibitions, educational programming, and information resources. From its five-story, 25,000-square-foot gallery and teaching facility
in downtown Appleton, Appleton Art Center offers exhibitions, classes, cultural programming, special events, and other initiatives
that draw people from throughout the Midwest.
