I don’t know what your impression of the Bank of America is, but here’s mine: There’s a whole lot more to this organization than credit cards and interest rates. There’s, well, impressionism.
That’s right, as in the artistic term. American Impression, to be exact. And The Boca Raton Museum of Art wants to introduce you to exactly what the corporation has had up its spotted, dotted, muted landscaped sleeve with the opening of one of its spring exhibitions, American Impressionism: Works from the Bank of America Collection on May 9, which will run through June 22, 2008.
The Bank of America Collection is one of the largest and most significant corporate art collections in the world, and Bank of America is proud to share its collection with the community through a broad Arts and Culture Outreach Program. The loan of artworks for American Impressionism is part of Bank of America's new traveling exhibition program.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Boca Raton Museum of Art as we launch this new and highly innovative traveling exhibition program at venues across the country," said Fabiola Brumley, Palm Beach County market president, Bank of America. "Not only will this exhibit provide a strong cultural benefit for the museum's visitors, but it also provides an economic benefit to the museum itself - a key institution in Boca Raton."
This particular exhibit presents more than 60 works by many of the best-known American Impressionists, including Gifford Beal, Alson Skinner Clark, Bruce Crane, Arthur Wesley Dow, John Joseph Enneking, Daniel Garber, Arthur Clifton Goodwin, James Jeffrey Grant, Frederick Childe Hassam, Wilson Henry Irvine, Ernest Lawson, Leonard Ochtman, Lilla Cabot Perry, Edward Willis Redfield, Louis Ritman, Walter Schofield, Dwight W. Tryon, Carleton Wiggins, Guy C. Wiggins, and Julian Alden Weir.
Second only to reducing my debt? I can't think of a better way to make a good impression.
