Symposium and Exhibition
Understanding Julien Hudson
Free Artist of Color In Context
Saturday, December 10, 2011 9am - 5pm
By bringing together all of Julien Hudson's known oeuvre, as well as selected works by his white and
mixed-race contemporaries, this ground-breaking exhibition addresses questions of connoisseurship,
patronage, style, and identity during a unique, little-studied moment in american art and cultural
history. The symposium examines the work and life of Julien Hudson, places him in the context of
new england history and art history of the same time period, and more fully examines the experience
of mixed race persons in the americas pre-civil war.

William Keyse Rudolph, curator of american art and decorative arts, Milwaukee Art Museum

A Call to Artists From: Heritage Museums & Gardens
Heritage Museums & Gardens celebrates American culture and inspires lifelong learning by sharing excellence in horticulture, garden design and the exhibition of great collections. We offer our visitors many opportunities to learn and to take part, ranging from quiet contemplation to active exploration.
In 2012, we will utilize our beautiful 100 acres of display gardens to showcase the work of contemporary Cape artists. Next year in our indoor space, we will be featuring a major exhibit of the work of Norman Rockwell - over 150 paintings, drawings, photographs and objects by this well-loved American illustrator.
To complement the exhibit, never before seen in the Boston area, we wish to feature a complementary exhibit of a powerful symbol of American culture and a significant garden design element - the garden gate. We invite contemporary artists to create a fanciful but working garden gate to be exhibited at Heritage from May 19 - September 30, 2012. Work will be for sale, with 60% of the sale price going to the artist and 40% to Heritage to support the exhibition program. Works will be featured throughout the grounds with professional outdoor labels. Sales will be handled by our professional retail management. A special opportunity for garden gate purchase will be offered at Heritage's annual Enchanted Evening Gala, which will be held on the grounds at Heritage on July 28, 2012.

Danforth Museum of Art
Focusing on American art from the 18th century to present day, the Danforth Museum of Art is dedicated to showing the very best examples of contemporary art by both emerging and established artists, as well as an exploration of the School of Boston Expressionism. Our compelling exhibitions and permanent collection of over 3,500 works of art offer countless opportunities for all ages to explore a range of media and artistic forms of expression from the traditional to installation and new media. Our mission strongly supports education, and the 400 yearly studio art courses offered in our Museum School, our family workshops and artist lectures offer our members and visitors numerous opportunities to learn and create.
Pueblo Katsina Gallery
The Danforth Museum of Art?s permanent collection of Katsina Dolls shows a unique range of Hopi Native American artwork. Katsina Dolls play a significant role in how the Hopi seek to understand and represent both their cultural and spiritual experiences in the world. In much the same way that the Katsina Dolls serve as a teaching tool for young Native American children to learn about their culture, the Museum?s collection has also played an integral part in the Framingham Public School?s third grade curriculum through our Native American Program. Visitors and students alike observe these skillfully-crafted dolls that have evolved from the Native American belief of spirits in nature.
