Thank you for Monday’s thoughtful editorial calling for more collaboration among arts institutions at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill. We could not agree more.
We want to connect the Nasher Museum with the wonderfully rich art scene in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Indeed, our mission statement compels us to promote “engagement with the visual arts among a broad community including Duke students, faculty and staff, the greater Durham community, the Triangle region and the national and international art community.”
We love collaborations with friends and colleagues at institutions of performing and visual arts.
Our upcoming Calder exhibition, for example, has inspired an original ballet by Carolina Ballet.
The Nasher Museum has recently co-organized exhibitions with the Ackland Art Museum of Andy Warhol’s Polaroids and of paintings by Felrath Hines. The Daily Tar Heel routinely writes about our exhibitions. No doubt, Carolina students would enjoy the high-caliber programs offered by Duke Performances.
We are lucky to have so many excellent artistic experiences available to us, and the Nasher Museum is proud to be part of a maturing arts scene in the Research Triangle region.
Kimberly Rorschach,
Mary D.B.T. and James H. Semans Director of the Nasher Museum of Art
