Benefits of Partnering with the Griffin Museum

The benefits of partnering with the Griffin Museum in a planned or endowed gift include:

  • Permanence: your gift will keep giving. An endowment named by a donor to the Griffin Museum joins a permanent bank of endowed funds at the Museum—a philanthropic investment in the art of photography and the cultural life of our community.
  • Commemoration or Anonymity: gifts can honor a loved one or associate, or kept anonymous. The Griffin Museum honors and protects your preferences. Such funds may be increased at any time by additional gifts.
  • Tax Advantage: contributions may ease your tax burden and supply financial benefits. You may be able to increase the amount of your gift while achieving greater tax savings and income. Contributions to your endowment fund will qualify for maximum deductibility for income taxes.
  • Experienced Investment Management: your fund will be professionally supervised. The Griffin Museum’s Finance Committee and its investment managers provide prudent stewardship of all donor funds.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
