Anderson named honorary curator
19 April 2023
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Francesca Anderson as honorary curator of art effective 11 April 2023. We have had a long relationship with Anderson from her inclusion in the 7th International Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration (1992) to her recent donations of artwork, which are featured in our current exhibition, What We Collect: Three Major Gifts. Given Anderson's incredible generosity and numerous contributions to our Art Department over the years, this courtesy appointment is but a small token of our appreciation and esteem. For more information, see the upcoming spring issue of our Bulletin. For more information about Anderson, see her Web site.
