Welcome to the Paul R. Williams Project!
April 6, 2009 is a long-anticipated day for the project committee and for the many people and organizations who have participated and contributed to the idea of raising awareness and encouraging interest in the remarkable career of Paul R. Williams. In this first post, the committee wants to recognize and thank the organizations that have made it possible for the website, blog and you to be here.
The Design Program of the National Endowment for the Arts awarded the original project grant in mid-2007 for archival and image research and development of the website, in addition to funds for photo reproduction rights, new photography and travel for planning and research. Later in 2007, the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded a grant for web development, the education program and exhibition design. The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, in 2008, granted additional funds for the exhibition. Everything that has been accomplished and everything still in development is the product of these institutions’ generosity and belief in the importance of the Paul R. Williams Project. We are extremely grateful.
We hope you will look around the website and let us know what you think, and, above all, let us and eveyone else know what you know or would like to know about Paul R. Williams.
