Museum gets $100,000 in grants
The Helen Foresman Spencer Art Museum has received two grants that provide for a full-time curator for the University of Kansas traveling art museum and for a two-year program that focuses on the nine Greek musees, Dolo Brooking, curator for the Spencer Art Museum, said yesterday.
The National Endowment for the Humanities has donated $90,000 for a program to explore the relevance of the nine mythological Greek museums to teach society about art and culture, tours, forums, films, dance, music and literary events, Brooking said.

The traveling museum, which is a mobile exhibit that travels throughout the state, has not had a full time curator before now, Broeing said.
The second grant, for $10,000 from the Kansas Arts Commission, will pay the salary for a full-time curator for KU's traveling art museum.
"The new edition of the exhibit will focus on the muses, also," she said. "This will enable the people of the museum to take part in the experience and hopefully generate additional interest in the museum."
