| Notes: | New MMAC Exhibitions Open March 17 Forty-eight artworks and artifacts from more than 10,000 that are included in the Permanent Collection of the Montana Museum of Art & Culture will be featured during two exhibitions that open March 17 in the museum's Paxson and Meloy galleries. "Campus Picks -- Permanent Collection Works Selected by Campus Community" will be on view in the Meloy Gallery. "The Fra Dana Collection: Preservation and Conservation" will be in the museum's Paxson Gallery. The exhibitions will be at the museum through Saturday, May 16. "Campus Picks" highlights the diversity of the Permanent Collection, as well as the art preferences of the University community. Works included in the exhibition were chosen by a committee of 25 University community members that included faculty members, deans, students, staff and administrators. "The Fra Dana Collection" showcases the museum's recent preservation and conservation of Permanent Collection works and features 23 paintings by the artist and her teachers and friends Alfred Maurer, E. William Gollings and Joseph Henry Sharp. Viewers can observe "before" photographs of the artworks alongside the restored paintings. MMAC will hold two events that are free and open to the public in conjunction with the exhibitions: • 7 p.m. Thursday, April 23: a panel discussion moderated by UM art Professor Bobby Tilton in the Meloy Gallery. • 7 p.m. Monday, May 11: gallery talk by Carmen Bria, renowned conservation expert and director of the Western Center for the Conservation of Fine Arts in Denver, in the Masquer Theatre.
