SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY.- The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announces that the first history of the museum — Everything is Connected — is now available for sale at the museum store and online at skidmore.edu/tang.

"Everything is Connected arose out of a simple question: How did a new and unique concept for a teaching museum evolve and become a reality on the Skidmore campus?" said the book's author, Barbara Kahn Moller '78, a Skidmore Trustee, Vice Chair of the Tang's National Advisory Council, and a parent of two Skidmore alumni. "It is about the people and ideas behind the creation of the Tang Teaching Museum, which opened in 2000, and reveals how the museum is intertwined with Skidmore's liberal arts mission by being an interdisciplinary space for object exhibition and the creation of new knowledge.

"What I found is the story about how a vision was transformed into an institution that has become a national leader among college and university museums," she said.

"Barbara's extensive research and in-depth interviews have made this remarkable document possible," said the Tang's Dayton Director Ian Berry. "We couldn't be happier with Everything is Connected."

The book also includes a foreword by Skidmore College President Philip Glotzbach, an introduction by Ian Berry, and an archive of exhibitions, publications, major events (such as Dunkerley Dialogues and Solomon Residencies), outreach to schools, and more. Stunning photography throughout enlivens the history with images of artwork, exhibitions, and people.

Everything is Connected, published by the Tang, was designed by Barbara Glauber and Kellie Konapelsky of Heavy Meta in New York City. The 208-page book retails for $35.
