FROM THE EXECUTIVE
Director
To enhance your knowledge and interest in our wonderful Museum,
we are bringing to you a new focus for Collections. With a newly
designed layout, Collections has more entertaining and informative
art-focused articles and bigger color pictures for you to really get
a good sense of the works, the exhibitions, and the artists we are
featuring.

Compelling articles will bring you inside the Museum to learn
more about us in a variety of ways throughout the year: see works
discussed in depth from our art collection, enjoy “behind-the-scenes” looks at areas such
as art conservation and how we take care of the work in our collection, exhibition insights,
expressive and enlightening connections through art education and community outreach,
program highlights (from meditation sessions to cabaret), and much more.
To get calendar listings and our Museum news, we have expanded our outreach to you.
If you like the virtual world, just sign up for our e-newsletters and bi-monthly art school
e-blasts, plus our full calendar of activities is on columbiamuseum.org with the calendar
icon on the home page for easy clicking. You’ll still see us arriving in your mailbox with
this magazine, membership mailings, invitations, and monthly postcards outlining our
programs and events. This new dissemination of information will be more educational,
opportune and economical. We hope you enjoy this art-?lled issue.
The fall Collections issue is always a special one for me as it includes our annual report of
donors. Our momentum and dynamism are because of you and your commitment to
quality and to artistic excellence. With our dedicated and creative staff, we excite and
introduce people of all ages and backgrounds to experience art, and by extension, life, in
new, profound and thoughtful ways.

Board Member Highlight
Luther J. Battiste
I have had a love for art since my freshmen year in college, when I bought
an oil painting of jazz musician Miles Davis. It has been with me since that
time and is a focal point of my collection. Being a community volunteer is
a core value for both me and my law firm. Serving on the museum board
allows me to pursue my passion for art and hopefully use my political
and legal background to bring a unique perspective to the Museum.
Any city that aspires to be great must have a vibrant art museum for
its citizens. In addition to serving as the Vice President of the Board of
Trustees and a member of the Nomination Committee, I am delighted
to be part the new African-American Art and Culture Committee. It is
important for everyone to feel that the Columbia Museum of Art is their
museum and one that they can support and be proud of.
