Series 6: Professional and Curatorial Files, 1936-1991
6 Linear feet
Boxes 32-37, 56

Professional and curatorial files focus primarily on Johnson's work as a curator at Allen Memorial Art Museum and as a consultant and advisor for various art-related committees and events. Some of the exhibition related files contain writings and articles. There is extensive documentation of her curatorial work on the India Triennale, circa 1968 and "Three Young Americans", also in 1968. Also arranged here are her continuing education files from courses and conferences she attended, such as the Baldwin Lecture Series and courses at other colleges and universities. Materials documenting Johnson's grants and fellowships are arranged here as are her Oberlin College employment-related files.
Users should note that most of Johnson's work with the Ossabaw Artist's Colony is referenced in the general chronological correspondence in Series 2.
Arranged alphabetically by subject.
