SUUS Tapestry at Yale Art Gallery

You may remember that last year we donated the African textile (arkilla kerke) that had been hanging in our Meeting Room to Yale University Art Gallery. I have just had an email from them. Please read this short piece in the Art Gallery newsletter about what will become of it. Click on the active link in red for details.  What exciting news!!!

  Among the first works to be installed is a wool Marriage-Bed Screen (Arkilla Kerka), donated by the Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Society in Madison, Conn.

Inside the Gallery
We are working hard to reactivate the Yale University Art Gallery. While we are not yet ready to announce an opening date, here is a sign of good things to come: some curators, art handlers, and conservators are back onsite preparing for the day when we can once again welcome the public to our spaces.

“When we closed more than four months ago, a partial reinstallation of the African galleries was already well underway,” said James Green, the Frances and Benjamin Benenson Foundation Assistant Curator of African Art. “Now, after a unanticipated delay caused by the pandemic, art is finally coming on view, including a number of recent acquisitions.”
