Some might wonder why the Focus on the Masters Arts Archive & Library saves paintbrushes, caps, journals with handwritten entries, announcement cards, historic photographs, tee shirts, newspaper articles, envelopes, and paper napkins.  Each object stored away in our 40+ fire-resistant filing cabinets tells a story.  A story of dedication and inspiration.  A story of remembrance and a vision of the future.  A true story of the arts and the artists who help us interpret the world around us. 

Join us on November 3 from 2 to 5 pm at the Vita Art Center for a journey through FOTM’s 30-year history.  Through historic photographs, you will experience highlights from the artists FOTM has documented along with unique events FOTM has produced and seminal exhibitions that helped to shape our cultural community.   

While sipping wine and sampling hors d’oeuvres, while chatting with old friends and making new friends, we can walk the Focus on the Masters timeline.  We will find out where we’ve been and lay the groundwork for our future. 

Focus is 30 years old and like any other thirty-something, Focus is at an inflection point.   Where do we go from here?  We want to share our ideas for the future with you.  Together we have built an amazing legacy, and together we will continue to capture history.  

Please join us!
