From the desk of the President Hello everyone, is putting the “international” part of our name to the forefront. � IMAS IMAS is an accredited museum with the American Alliance of Museums
(AAM). One of IMAS’s goals is to share our permanent collection pieces not only to those in the Rio Grande Valley, but to other audiences throughout the United States and beyond. I am excited to share with you our expanded exhibition program. Last year, we hosted the international debut exhibition called “Weave-Indigenous Weavings: An Exhibition of Native Objects from the National Museum of History, Taiwan”. This exhibition shared artifacts of the native Taiwanese people along the eastern coast of Taiwan. It was a wonderful collection and started our collaboration. This year, we are excited to share with you, our “Imaginary Portraits” by Picasso will be traveling to Taiwan in May. These 29 lithographs and proofs will be on display in Taipei, Taiwan at the National Museum of History and in Taichung, Taiwan at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art. These art pieces will be on display from June until the end of October. In addition, this fall/winter we will be hosting, “The Fifth Mexican Shinzaburo Takeda Biennial of Printing”. This exhibition is a Rio Grande Valley favorite and one that we are excited to share with you. This exhibition will be held in our Clark Gallery Nov. 30, 2017- Feb. 18, 2018. Our vision of connecting art and science and reaching more visitors is becoming a reality. We are very proud to be part of the growth of the City of McAllen and the entire Rio Grande Valley. Sincerely,
Julie Johnson
