The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare at the New Mexico Museum of Art Project Description: The New Mexico Museum of Art (NMMA) seeks support for humanities programs celebrating ?First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare? during its exclusive New Mexico exhibition, February 5-28, 2016. From Shakespeare aficionados to those encountering these plays for the first time, this exhibit is a very special opportunity for people in New Mexico to see one of the most influential books in history. The First Folio is the first complete collected edition of Shakespeare?s plays, published in 1623 seven years after his death. It preserves 36 of Shakespeare?s plays. Without it, we would not have 18 of those plays. Thanks to the First Folio, generations have experienced Shakespeare?s lasting influence on language, culture, theater, music, education, and more. NMMA and partner organizations will host a variety of activities in support of the Folio targeted at a range of audiences. Goals for this project include 1. Fostering an appreciation of the Folio as an object that is an original, primary source. 2. Educating secondary school students about the materiality of the Folio. 3. Creating opportunities for individuals to develop a new, lasting appreciation of Shakespeare?s text through personal engagement. This grant will support three scholarly lectures, a panel discussion, a book discussion and signing, all free and open to the public, and a joint visit program between NMMA and the New Mexico History Museum, free with museum admissions.
