NEWS RELEASE/NOVEMBER 8, 2006
ACADEMY FOR THE LOVE OF LEARNING

The Academy for the Love of Learning in Santa Fe is pleased to announce the opening of an on-line exhibition of images by Ernest Thompson Seton. You can visit it at:

www.aloveoflearning.org/setonart.php

From our collection of hundreds of Seton’s artworks, curator and scholar David L. Witt has selected forty-five works on paper and three paintings. Seton’s remarkable career as a writer, social innovator, and naturalist is beautifully illustrated by the work in this collection which includes his first Canadian drawings, student work, and animal characters, as well as birds, mammals, and woodcraft design illustrations from the 1870s to the 1930s.

We are seeking support in restoring and framing this art. Please consider joining with us in preparing this beautiful collection for its showing on the walls of the gallery the Academy is planning to build at Seton Village.

I can verify by personal experience that sposnoring the conservation and framing of a Seton work in connection with the Seton Art Exhibit is fast and painless via PayPal. I hope that many people will join in this worthwhile endeavor. --- Ron
