Is there an audio or video archive of the artist’s talks for the Sabatini Gallery Exhibitions?

Good question, Kris. That’s one of the things we’re gradually going to begin building now that we have the equipment.

YouTube allows 8 minutes maximum, so we plan to have short, instructional stuff there. But for longer video, like artist talks, we are researching places that will host that much content (like BlipTV). Full-length videos will eventually be available through the Special Collections database. We recently got Museum Plus software and are starting the long process of converting 130 years of history onto it! Eventually, we will have artists’ talks there, but that will be several years down the road.

For the time being, my goal is to film talks and edit them down to 8 minutes or maybe several chunks onto YouTube.

Just wanted to let you know we’re working on it and will add a VIDEO section to the gallery menu once we have content to post.

Thanks so much for the question and comment!
