with Sierra Polisar, Department of Collections at Tulane University

First published: August 11th, 2023.

Taking archived works of a historic American Art Pottery firm and filing them into a comprehensive research database? That’s just another day in the life of the Tulane Museum of Art department of collections, headed by Sierra Polisar. In this talk, Sierra gives us the behind the scenes look of how they did it and what they learned from it. This session was offered as a part of “Arts & Crafts In August: An Online Celebration” in August 2023.
