Gallery News

With Muffet Jones coming on board, Jennie Buehler assuming with enthusiasm and efficiency the position of registrar and handling some sales, Jorge Otzoy at the gallery two days a week, taking on his broad shoulders the many physical tasks involved with running a gallery, including, moving art, painting walls, helping uncrate and crate, etc. and Heidi Heath continuing her bookkeeping Tuesdays and Fridays, we are well on our way to having a “gallery dream team”. A new director, when I find THE RIGHT person, will complete the staff. In the meantime, I am assuming the role of director/owner. After 25 years in the gallery business, this comes naturally. If you continue to check the website, you’ll see the daily changes we’re making as we focus our energies on expanding our visibility. We shall have a presence on ArtNet by next week. International Art Fairs are also in the works. All of us welcome any inquiry you might have. The gallery will be open 7 days a week starting June 25. We look forward to seeing you in the gallery or hearing from you via phone or e-mail.

Muffet Jones joins ANNE REED GALLERY’s staff

I’m happy to report the addition of Muffet Jones to ANNE REED GALLERY’s staff.

Muffet returns to Idaho, where she was born and raised, bringing with her extensive experience acquired in New York City. A PhD candidate at Columbia University with a Masters in 19th and 20th Century paintings and sculpture, Muffet brings to ANNE REED GALLERY extensive experience, creating and curating exhibitions, writing essays and designing and producing exhibition catalogs. For the past 12 years, Muffet has been the archivist/curator for the Estate of Ray Johnson at Richard L. Feigen & Co in New York City. In addition she has co-curated exhibitions that have been installed at such venues as Leo Castelli Gallery, Columbia University, Sonnabend Gallery and worked on exhibition catalogues for Whitney Museum of American Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts. From 2001-2003, Muffet was public works curator for the Oppenheim Archive, developing public art opportunities and placing work from that prestigious collection with museums and other institutions in the United States and abroad. In addition she has maintained a freelance graphic design business, working primarily with arts clients that have included the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation in the Julliard School, Lincoln Center.

Responses to e-announcements

It’s summer in Sun Valley! The trees are leafed out, bicyclists are riding in packs and the gallery doors are open to the sweet smell of cut grass.

ANNE REED GALLERY has never had such overwhelming response (including to fabulous holiday gifts we used to bestow) than we’ve received for sending e-announcements rather than paper announcement cards. Below are some of the comments sent (via e-mail, of course!). Thanks to all of you who wrote and who support us in our efforts to do our part to lower greenhouse gases.

Bravo, look forward to hearing from you online.

Hooray!

Thank you very much for sending your e-announcements. I appreciate what you are doing to help the environment.

I commend you on this decision!! I hope other galleries follow your lead.

That is a terrific, brave step, I look forward to receiving your email/updates.

Yea!

Good for you, Barbi. Nicely said and nicely done.

This is refreshing!!! Thanks for taking the time to make a difference. We will continue to visit the gallery when in Sun Valley - walking - of course!!! - and will look forward to the electronic updates....

Wonderful news! I love getting an e mail from you -they are always the first ones I open (-:

Excellent decision. I look forward to receiving your e-mailed announcements. The cards were always beautiful, but this is a way better way to go.

Wow! Good for you! Thanks for enlightening us. . . .

Kudos for the awareness and the change. I will miss the beautiful announcement cards, but you are doing the right thing!

No problem. I respect your consideration of the environment.

Bravo! I have never read so succinctly stated the effects of a mass mailing. While I love receiving your cards, I will look forward to receiving them electronically, printing the ones I want to keep and deleting the ones that don't speak to me so strongly. Someday, I hope to visit the gallery and see the work for real!

Bravo!!

A good call!

Hats off to Anne Reed Gallery! When I think of all the unsolicited junk mail I throw in the recycle bin every day it makes my stomach turn. Your announcements are one of the few I do enjoy receiving. However, I will be just as happy to receive them through my e-mail. Thank you.

A great decision. I applaud you.

Love your new thoughts and efforts to do something about our global warming problems. keep me on your email list, look forward to them in the future.

Thank you! I love your new online announcements. Good job!

I loved your message and agree totally that we have to find ways to reduce our global footprints. We have a hybrid car, grow our own vegetables, and buy locally!
