 Derrick R. Cartwright Take an exhibition tour with the director! Throughout this, our 80th Anniversary year, we continue a year-long focus on our collection's strengths and the individuals who have helped create them. Projects like the critically acclaimed Goya's Portraits underscore the excellence of individual works that belong to SDMA, while providing a broader context for one of the most influential artists of the modern era. Similarly, the exhibition of our collection of 55 wood engravings by Winslow Homer—opening June 3, 2006—helps us to better understand an important facet of that legendary painter's career. Other ongoing exhibitions, including American Ceramics 1884-1972, The Eye of the Collector, Wit and Wisdom, and Tracking and Tracing pay tribute to the generous contributions of many donors who helped expand our holdings in key areas of the collection. In addition, the efforts of our education department help us to share this knowledge with the broadest possible public in our region through Family Festivals, docent tours, art classes, and a bilingual approach to everything that we do. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the trustees of the San Diego Museum of Art. The dedication of board members, both past and present, to the fundamental mission of a great museum is what has enabled generations of San Diegans to enjoy this resource. As always, I hope that you will visit us often and that all members will feel free to share with me their own visions for the future of this great Museum.
