The Barnes Foundation: Summer Workshops

With one of the world's largest collections of
Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern
paintings, The Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pa., will
hold a series of summer workshops. Some of the
sessions during July and August include "Botanical
Illustration: Foundation Drawing and Water Color,"
"Building the Landscape: From Arboretum to
Container Gardening," and "Garden Recycling to
Save Time and Money."

Currently located in a 12-acre arboretum, the Paul
Cret-designed gallery houses extensive holdings by
Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rousseau,
Modigliani, Soutine and de Chirico as well as Old
Master paintings. In addition, important examples of
African sculpture and Native American ceramics,
American furniture and metalwork, and antiquities
from the Mediterranean region and Asia are on view.

The Barnes Foundation is scheduled to relocate to a
new building on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in
Philadelphia by 2011.The new facility will house the
foundation's world-renowned art collection in galleries
that replicate the scale, proportion and configuration of
the original ones. The Barnes campus on the Parkway
will provide a substantial increase in dedicated space
for teaching the foundation's art education programs.

The state-of-the-art facility will also include space
for a special exhibitions gallery, art conservation,
classrooms, an auditorium as well as a retail gift
shop and cafe. Landscaped grounds on the 4.5-acre
site will reference horticultural aspects of the Merion
Arboretum.

The Barnes Foundation, established by Albert C.
Barnes in 1922 to "promote the advancement of
education and the appreciation of the fine arts,"
will contribute to the Parkway experience. The new
location will place the extraordinary collection within
reach of more visitors from around the world on
Philadelphia's principal corridor of outstanding visual
arts institutions.
