eauford Delaney’s lifelong exploration of light and color brings an energy and movement to his portraits that allow the viewer to go beyond the subject’s outer appearance and see, in the words of biographer David Leeming, the subject’s “inner light.” The Georgia Museum of Art has recently acquired a second portrait painted by this renowned African American artist thanks to the generous gift of Bonnie and Lee Stone. This vivid portrait of Joe Gould, a well-known New York City bohemian, showcases Delaney’s ability to capture the personality of his subjects.

accompany contemporary urban life. “When Night Has Come” is set in Paris. The lively dancer and drummers on the front of the screen, shown near the Louvre museum, contrast with the empty spaces

of the Paris metro on the back. Like a present-day flâneur, Kennington deftly observes the doublesided coin of modern life. The work is installed in the galleries for the public to view and enjoy.

being a friend

the importance of being a friend

What does it mean to be a Friend of the Georgia Museum of Art?

It means supporting the museum’s mission of teach-

ing, research and service—built on the most advanced scholarship—for all learners. It means helping the museum acquire notable works of art that enhance its place as a first-rank center of learning and culture, not only in Georgia but also in the Southeast and throughout the country. It means helping the museum expand its educational programs for children and families—introducing art and creativity as a wonderful aspect of life to many who otherwise might not have the experience. And it means having access to a wide array of opportunities for involvement in the museum—from volunteering to attending special member-only previews and events—not to mention the discounts and other special benefits. Any one of these reasons would be compelling on its own, but when taken together, the case for joining the Friends seems like an irresistible proposition; however, increasing membership has its challenges. As a nonprofit in a relatively small town without many large businesses or corporate presences, the museum faces the same fundraising conundrum as other organizations. The public loves and uses the museum’s

services, but many feel that they cannot afford to support it, assume that the state or the university pays for everything or think that inevitably, somehow, someone else will take care of it. Virtually all of the exhibitions and programming of the museum are supported by private donations, which means that the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art play a vital role in the museum’s mission. Later this year the Board of the Friends will launch a membership campaign to increase the number of supporters who count themselves as Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art. The Friends will focus on one of the most rewarding benefits: reciprocal membership for those who donate at least $100 a year. Reciprocal membership means free entrance to more than 600 museums across the country that would otherwise charge for admission, including the High Museum in Atlanta and the Frick Collection in New York City, to name only two. In addition to reciprocal membership, there are many other incentives to join: recently, I overheard a spirited discussion at a Friends board meeting on that topic that juxtaposed the benefits of membership with the satisfaction of knowing one is a patron of the arts. Interesting points! As one thinks about joining the Friends, it must be doubly compelling to consider

that while “eating the cake” of all the great benefits Friends enjoy, one can also “have the cake” of sponsoring and promoting the education, scholarship and outreach that are, in fact, the museum’s purpose. As a new year begins, the Membership Committee of the Board of the Friends urges everyone to renew their existing memberships and extends a welcoming hand to all who do not yet belong to the Friends or who may have let their memberships expire. Ultimately, joining the Friends is the best way to enjoy the museum, with benefits such as invitations to exhibition openings and special events; receiving the Museum’s award-winning quarterly magazine, Facet; a discount on purchases in the Museum Shop; special volunteer and involvement opportunities; reciprocal right to free admission in hundreds of museums across the country (for members joining at the $100 level and above); and a menu of one-of-a-kind opportunities for higher-level donors. Joining the Friends means helping put the museum, and Athens, on the map. We can take pride in supporting the Georgia Museum of Art, the University of Georgia, Athens and indeed the state of Georgia as places of significant stature in the arts, education and culture throughout the U.S. That is more than enough reason to be able to say “all my friends are Friends!” Greg Barnard Board of the Friends Secretary and Membership Committee Chair
