This Monday, meet the Fine Arts Collection assistants, Ingrid Roeske and Julia Wendt!

The FAC assistants work to label and organize artwork from the collection, often venturing down into the fabled Preus basement. They also maintain records of the collection, prepare write-ups for pieces on display, and deliver artwork to other buildings on campus.

A recent highlight for Ingrid and Julia has been setting up a new display of ivory animal figurines from the Jane and Don Kemp Collection. Check it out in the CFA!
