Recent Acquisitions: Cool New Stuff

September 4–October 16, 2009
In the Sabatini Art Gallery

Artist List

It has been over five years since the Alice C. Sabatini Art Gallery compiled a Recent Acquisitions exhibit. Since then, we’ve acquired more than 1,500 new and wonderful works of art. Imagine the difficulty in choosing which works to showcase and which to leave out!

Fitting 1,500 pieces into the Gallery at one time would be impossible, so to help tailor the selection into a manageable group, Sherry Best, Gallery Director and Curator, challenged each of us to pick 5 pieces or more, and answer this simple question: Why do you like it?

We in turn wanted to involve our wonderful volunteers. They give so much time and effort to the Alice C. Sabatini Art Gallery, we considered this a perfect opportunity to tap into their knowledge and love of art and take on this challenge together. Each volunteer was asked to pick one piece of art and answer the same question.
