2021 Danforth Annual Report

Page 8

Staff Highlights Rachel Passannante Collections Manager “This past year has seen a huge interest in Meta Fuller – from research and image requests, new ephemera donations, to working with her family and the new Fuller Middle School to dedicate a display case to her and her husband Dr. Solomon Fuller. I have so enjoyed learning and discovering more about her and her family, connecting with her grandchildren, hearing family stories, discovering pieces she made that we previously did not know about, getting glimpses of her personality, and seeing her determination and concurring struggles to succeed as an African-American artist.”

Laura Gayton Membership “Perhaps my favorite memory from the previous year was watching one of our members – also one of our most generous donors – win our online jigsaw puzzle week after week. Within an hour of receiving it, she would always email me the correct answer with perfect spelling of the artist’s name and work of art. Each enthusiastic response from her was like a ray of sunshine during a very dark period. It helped me realize how strong and wonderful our Danforth community really is. It’s impossible to explain how fulfilling it is to be part of this special place.” 7
