The April NTAAC Lunch and studio tour was a very successful, with good food and a wonderful tour of a conservation project at the Michael Van Enter Studio.
Michael and his staff are working on about 90 mosaic panels, some of them are from Millard Sheets.
The organic shaped mosaics required custom scaffolding and cradles.
These works of art came very close to being demolished due to their large size and tremendous weight. That would have been a real disaster.
And speaking of disasters, the May NTAAC Event will be a lecture at the Dallas Museum of Art by Gina L. B. Minks entitled Museum Disasters: Who Are You Going To Call? More on that in the next NTAAC Update.
