| Dear Friends of the Meadows Museum, We are starting 2012 with new exhibitions, programming, and exciting events. First, I would like to let you know that revised entrance prices for admission and tours were implemented as of January 1 of this year. This adjustment will help support the growing number of exhibitions that the Museum now offers to the public as well as new activities and offerings to our audience and members. As in the past, parking for Museum visitors will remain free at all times as will Thursday evening admission. Never before has supporting the Meadows Museum had so many privileges and advantages. Along with discounts, invitations to special events, and many other activities, all members will have free access to our upcoming temporary exhibitions, including an international loan exhibition on rare early-Renaissance tapestries, modern Mexican paintings from a prestigious private collection, and a focused survey on Velázquez, organized by the Meadows Museum and the Museo Nacional del Prado as part of the ongoing partnership between both institutions. Other special exhibitions that will take place in the Museum include Calatrava and SMU, which coincides with the opening events of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge across the Trinity River, and another exhibition featuring the work of Jerry Bywaters and other great Texas modernist artists. The latter will be the first opportunity our visitors will have to see the historic donation made by Jerry Bywaters Cochran, the daughter of the artist. The collection of more than sixty works is one of the most important art gifts ever made to SMU. I hope you are enjoying the improvements that we have made to the lobby, such as the new entry carpet, television screens, and reception table that was generously underwritten in great part by a gift of Mrs. Ruth Altshuler. Also, the Smith Auditorium has been updated with the latest technology that will allow us to serve you better and offer higher quality sound and visuals. Finally, I would like to welcome on board our new Membership Manager, SheriAnne McNeil, who has worked in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. I also wanted to recall the memory of one of our greatest philanthropists, the late Mrs. Nancy Hamon, who passed away last summer. Her generosity with the Meadows Museum will always live on with the galleries that are named after her, and her memory will endure in the institution that she enjoyed supporting and visiting so many times. I look forward to seeing you soon at your Museum. Mark A. Roglán, Ph.D. Director, Meadows Museum Adjunct Associate Professor of Art History |
