Lindsey Ash organized a bake sale on September 21 which raised over $150 for Habitat for Humanity and through Becky Utech's Supply Drive, we were able to send 4 large boxes of school supplies and other basic items to displaced Louisiana school children in East Baton Rouge. GAHA wants to thank everyone who participated and we look forward to your continued support and enthusiasm in future.

The Japanese public broadcasting station, NHK, made a special stop in Cleveland on Sat. Feb. 5, 2005 to interview and film Ellen G. Landau, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, for a documentary on the Abstract Expressionist artist Jackson Pollock set to air in Japan on Sunday April 3rd. NHK broadcasts a weekly cultural program titled "Labyrinth Museum" every Sunday night. This 60 minute show highlights the life and work of prominent artists of the 20th century examining the various influences, inspirations, and life experiences that have helped shape their work. NHK selected Prof. Landau to interview as the most prominent American expert on the life and work of Pollock. Landau wrote a monograph on Pollock published by Harry N. Abrams in 1989, was co-curator of a joint retrospective of the works of Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner at the Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland in 1990 and has written essays for catalogues of exhibitions of the work of Pollock held in Munich and Dusseldorf, Germany as well as Andros, Greece and, most recently, Venice, Italy. She is currently organizing an exhibition which will feature Pollock and three other artists that will be shown during 2006-2007 in New York, Los Angeles and Australia.
