Whats that smell?

Ahhh. There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh paint in the air. And this smell has made its way across the entire museum.

Today was one of those days where there was plenty of little tasks for volunteers to do, with the Andy Warhol exhibit coming our way. I helped to paint, or cut in, the edges of the walls and around the exit signs, using a really tall ladder to reach what I could. I did this knowing I have a fear of falling and landing, I just decided it would be one of those things I could do to help gradually face this fear. But the pink walls are going to be quite fitting!

After that I worked on my on-going advertising and promotion project for a little bit. I'm making templates for the print advertising, so that people may switch around the images and text for future publications.

Now I am in the process of peeling labels and sticking them on postcards for the VIP and the Members' Opening receptions and lectures. Joy! (Its okay, although its one of those menial tasks, I kind of enjoy repetitious activities)

A Note on Bananas....

"I love bananas so much that I work at one!"





I was mocked mercilessly (but lovingly) by my fellow interns for this statement. I feel we have a pretty good comraderie here in the DEN, which hopefully shows in the work we do. There is no "I" in "DEN" of course. Kathryn and I have been double-teaming on a Beyond the Edge of the Sea education packet, and I might even have to ask someone's thoughts and opinions on this blog before I post it. We look out for each other, and thats just one of the many benefits of working at the Muscarelle.

p.s. I really do actually work at a Banana... Republic that is.
