Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The DW Gallery Records document the activities of the gallery from its founding in 1975 to its closure in 1988. Linda Samuels was the founding director of the gallery, but the bulk of the records concern the tenure of Diana Block as director, 1981-1988. Throughout its 13-year history, the gallery developed a reputation for recognizing raw talent and eventually became one of the nation's most respected showcases for contemporary regional artists, including Lee N. Smith, David Bates, Clyde Connell, David McManaway, John Hernandez, and Sam Gummelt.

Types of records include correspondence, notes, financial documents, certificates, legal papers, exhibition schedules, resumes, policies, press releases, mailing lists, photographs, scrapbook material, creative works artifacts, and ephemera.
