Alan,
As one who spent 35 years in journalism and who now teaches a new generation of scribes, I know the tenacity required to publish 2,000 editions. The Gazelle Gazette continues to give voice to an important organization, enlightening and engaging readers who possess a passion for Carder and Steuben. Congratulations on a remarkable milestone.

Organize a Show

How about organizing a show at multiple places in the US? There is a collecting community on the West Coast and other places than on the East Coast that could participate in such an effort. I know that the Historical Glass Museum in Redlands, CA, is not considered a major museum but it does have the largest collection of Steuben on constant display on the West Coast–and it has been “curated” by this group. We would be enthusiastic about participating in such a show.

The “multiple sites” concept has been successful for various groups of art institutions. The most recent in Southern California was the “Pacific Standard Time” set of shows that was organized by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles in 2011 and 2012. It focused on Califonia arts in the post-World War II era and featured numerous museum from San Diego to Santa Barbara and ran nearly a year in length with each museum setting its own time frame and designing its own show that highlighted its collections. Included in the event was, of course, the Getty, the Mingei in San Diego, Los Angeles Count Museum of Art (LACMA), American Museum of Ceramic Arts (AMOCA) in Pomona, and Scripps (Claremont Colleges). Art glass was not represented in this exhibition because it did not get a start in California until after this time period. The emphasis was on art pottery, movies, furniture, and other related topics of post-war design.
