Dear Shirley:

Thank you so much for being a lender to Explorations in the City of Light: African-America Artists in Paris, 1945-1965. The response to the exhibition from both the press and the general public has been enthusiastic and extremely positive.

Enclosed is a recent review from the New York Times.You might also want to read the article "When France was home to African-American artists" which appeared in the March 1996 issue of Smithsonian Magazine. We are now in the process of finalizing the tour dates of the exhibition and have enclosed a tentative schedule for your information.

Again, thank you for participating in the exciting project.
Sincerely,
Valerie J. Mercer
