Elaine was the Viewing Program Coordinator and the Selections Show Curator at The Drawing Center in New York, where he co-curated over 40 exhibitions and reviewed hundreds of artists’ work.

Each drawing selected for the exhibition will be hand-delivered or shipped by the artist in a re-usable carton or crate* to the Amarillo Museum of Art (AMOA). The incoming shipping and insurance will be at the artist’s expense*. (One drawing per crate or carton*). The AMOA will pay for return shipping and insurance for each drawing in the exhibition.
