BY THE NUMBERS 1 4 WHY WE DO IT M I S S I O N 1 5 FROM THE DIRECTOR I continue to count my blessings as I reflect on this, my 4th year as Director of the Mobile Museum of Art. In the past four years, our art museum has undergone a transformation—thanks to the efforts of countless volunteers, supporters, government entities, and the ongoing efforts of our talented staff. 2017 was designated as the first in a three-year commemoration of our state’s Bicentennial—officially launched in Mobile in May of 2017! This happy occasion afforded us the perfect opportunity to celebrate our state’s art and artists. We quickly concluded that our first Alabama Bicentennial exhibition must obviously be a celebration of William Christenberry’s work, which we titled CHRISTENBERRY: In Alabama. His lifelong love of his native state, and our state’s enduring admiration for him and his legacy as demonstrated through the rich Christenberry collections in Alabama’s museums, provided the focus of this first Bicentennial celebration. Generously underwritten by the Crampton Trust, established by Katharine Crampton Cochrane, and bolstered by additional funding from the City of Mobile and the Alabama State Council on the Arts—we mounted a joyous exhibition celebrating Bill Christenberry, the Christenberry family’s creative lineage—restricting that project to works loaned by Alabama’s own institutions, and the Christenberry family.

  • Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers
    Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., 1902-1993 Title: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Dates: 1856-1956 (bulk 1927-1956) Quantity: 81.2 linear feet Abstract: Blueprints, correspondence, drawings, etching plates, news clippings, and a scrapbook related to the business dealings and genealogy of architect Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Accession: 10-09-267 ; 267-1993 Biographical Note: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., the last of the locally celebrated Hutchisson architects, was born in 1902 in Mobile, Alabama. From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L. Hutchisson Sr. Between 1940 and 1945, Hutchisson trained as an engineer and would serve as chief architect for the Mobile Corps of Engineers. During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area. Like his mother, Henrietta Homer Hutchisson, he was interested in the genealogy of the Homer family and he and his mother gathered information about several of his bloodlines. Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents. Of particular importance are the 200 architectural drawings of structures designed by the Hutchissons (ca. 1908-1972). These drawings are indexed by address as well as the client's name.
