EXHIBITIONS & TOURS FROM THE EDITOR I am delighted to present the new Quarterly, a fresh design that continues the publication’s steady evolution as both an institutional newsletter and a compelling history magazine. Designer Alison Cody, who has worked on many of our books and catalogs, has created a refined look that allows our images, articles, and nuts-and-bolts information to shine. A new table of contents organizes each issue into departments such as On View, Events, and Resources. We’ve enhanced some favorite features: Acquisitions has retained its nitty-gritty nature and includes a new “spotlight” element that connects new accessions to existing holdings. There are many other surprises in store—one of them, a complete roundup of current visitor information, directly to the right. Our goal, as always, is to share the best of The Collection with our readers. Enjoy! —molly reid EVENT CALENDAR FROM CAMEO TO CLOSE-UP FILM SERIES In May, THNOC launched a series of monthly film screenings to highlight some of the works featured in From Cameo to Close-up: Louisiana in Film.
