Michele Pagán presents an introduction to Bennington Museum's sampler collection from a conservator's point of view. This overview of all the samplers in the collection will explore the methods and materials involved in creating these pieces of art and will make a chronology from the earliest examples - schoolgirl art - up to the present. Michele will raise questions about some of the samplers in the collection - are they really what we think they are? - and provide pointers about how to look for frauds and fakes in your own collection.

Although Anna Mary Robertson (“Grandma”) Moses lived in Eagle Bridge, NY, Bennington was her local museum. In the 1960s, the Bennington Museum mounted three hugely successful Moses exhibitions, which prompted them to install a permanent gallery devoted to the artist’s work. In 1973, the museum annexed the one-room schoolhouse attended by Moses, supplementing her art with memorabilia provided by her family. Jane Kallir’s talk examines Moses’s ties to the local community, the evolution of the Moses gallery at the Bennington Museum, and her and her family’s role in promoting the artist.
