The Achenbach Graphic Arts Council (AGAC)'s Spring Benefit "Achenbacchanalia" will be a gala fundraiser to support the AGAC's Fellowship Program for graduate students studying museum curatorship involving works of art on paper. Fellows work closely with the department curators, investigating aspects of the collection and gaining hands-on experience in research, museum methodology, and exhibition preparation. The AGAC is committed to building a permanent endowment to sustain this valuable program, considered among the top museum education programs in the country. This program has fostered the careers of nine Fellows, all of whom have obtained advanced degrees and now occupy significant positions in museums, academia, and the art world.
The guest of honor will be Julian Cox, founding Curator of Photography and Chief Curator at the de Young.
