Museum news

Jean Graves, a light-skinned person with short, grayish hair, glasses, and a wide smile, looks directly out at the viewer.

The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University (IU) has hired Jean A. Graves as the Patricia and Joel Meier Chair of Education. In addition to serving on the museum’s senior leadership team, Graves will oversee an education department that focuses on comprehensive course-connected experiences, pre-K–12 engagement, art therapy programs, and public programming. She will work with her team to develop a creative, mission-driven strategy for learning that prioritizes authentic experiences with works of art from the museum’s collection of more than 45,000 objects.

A photograph with muted gray colors shows a stone quarry from high up, looking down at the floor and three sides of a roughly rectangular space. Stone has been removed from the quarry walls in horizontal rows, and combined with the muted gray of the rock it gives the impression of high-rise apartments. Far below at the floor of the quarry, the bright orange of heavy machinery offers spots of color.

The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University has received a significant donation of the photography collection of Amelia (Lee) Marks and John C. DePrez Jr., which features 116 works by 80 artists. With particular strengths in the work of photojournalists and contemporary photographers, the collection complements the museum’s current holdings of more than 22,000 prints, drawings, and photographs.
