Abstract:
Pamolu Oldham measured the value of art by the amount of light and way that space was used. Being mindful of these aspects generated an awareness of other aspects, valuable on both sides of the canvas: people and animals, interior and exterior settings, and objects secular and sacred.

Abstract:
The work a curator does at the North Carolina Museum of Art is detailed. Curators spend time looking at auction house catalogues, traveling to visit galleries and meet with artists, establish relationships with reputable art dealers, collectors, art galleries, and artists in order to acquire art for the Museum. Once they have identified a work of art they wish to acquire, the curators must go through a system of checks and balances in order to purchase the work. The system of checks and balances at the Museum is discussed and several curators from the Museum detail the work that they do.

Abstract:
The most frequent question asked by children at the Museum’s educational sessions is how they get the art inside the building. The process for how art arrives at the Museum is detailed here. The moving of artwork is well-planned, well-controlled, and well-insured. Most art comes through the loading dock at the Museum and requires a team to oversee the process and art already at the Museum is transported from building-to-building via an underground tunnel.

Abstract:
The newest addition to the North Carolina Museum of Art’s collection of outdoor art is a functional piece of art. The Lowe’s Park Pavilion was designed by Mike Cidndric and Vincent Petrarca of Raleigh to be a work of art but also to be used, experienced, walked through, touched, and as a shelter. This sculptural pavilion offers Park visitors a beautiful sheltered place to stop, rest, and reflect. The appearance of the shelter changes with the time of day and light reflected off of it and it will be used by staff as a place for the outdoor teaching of art.

Abstract:
Dubbed as "Greenville's greatest contribution to the world," Robert Lee Humber, Jr. (1898-1970) single-handedly launched a "movement" for World Federation. Because of that movement, the NC General Assembly passed his resolution in 1941, becoming the first legislative body in history to endorse World Federation. Humber traveled to other states over a period of ten years, and as a result, his resolution was adopted by 16 more states. In his studies abroad and at home, Humber developed an appreciation for the arts, and established the NC Museum of Art. He served on dozens of councils and commissions, helped establish the NC Community College system, the NC Symphony, and was President of the Pitt County Historical Society from 1964 to 1968.
