The much-anticipated Dallas Museum of Art staff art exhibition is fast approaching. Opening this weekend, the exhibition occurs every two years and is an opportunity for DMA employees to present their work to coworkers and general public. This year’s exhibition, Insourced: Works by Dallas Museum of Art Staff, features sixty-eight works by forty-three artists ranging from our new interns to a preparator who has been with the DMA for over thirty years. Staff members whose “day jobs” range from curators to gallery attendants are included.
The exhibition is unique because anyone who wants to participate can; even the title was selected by a staff vote. Insourced also has an acting curator–conceived and organized collaboratively by Collections and Exhibitions department staffers, the exhibition placement was decided by Erin Murphy, Contemporary Art Curatorial Administrative Assistant and Uncrated contributor. We posted a few “sneak peek” photos here, but please come by and see the works by our talented staff.
The exhibition is on view from December 5, 2010 through March 13, 2011 on Mezzanine 2 next to the Mildred R. and Frederick M. Mayer Library.
Joni Wilson is the Exhibitions Assistant at the Dallas Museum of Art
