Fall Greetings!


If you have not received your 2008/2009 Traveling Exhibit catalog, it's on the way! We mailed catalogs to elementary, middle and high school art teachers and public libraries. If you aren't in one of these groups, click here to request yours! You will see 7 new exhibits this year! We polled our customers last year and were able to deliver some of the most requested topics. We bring you Degas, in all its splendor. When we received the exhibits from our printer, we were speechless. We had many request for a woman artist. We bring you Mary Cassatt, a cool independent lady who lived by her own rules. (Sorry to the many of you who requested Georgia O'Keeffe. We spent a great deal of time trying to persuade her foundation to let us honor her with an exhibits but they have a strict "no reproduction on fabric" rule.) We worked hard with the M.C. Escher Foundation to bring you the incomparable drawings that your whole class can admire together. We had many requests for a contemporary artist and we bring you Jackson Pollock, whose art/emotion connection is so powerful, it's hard to tear yourself away. (Again, sorry to all of you who voted Warhol, his foundation refused as well, although they were very nice about it!) As our world gets smaller, we bring you Hokusai and the magic of the intricate prints and paintings. Renaissance art is always a favorite and we are proud to bring you Michelangelo, simply breathtaking. And finally, there are other forms of art besides painting and sculpture so be bring you Antoni Gaudi, one of the most creative and innovative architects ever.
You'll also find several new products we've developed and are really proud of! A cool, fun set of careers in art posters that inspire. We put your windows to work with the exclusive artist quote cling sets. You can visit a "virtual museum" featuring Picasso, and hear from him as well! And we developed computer games to reinforce art history.
