Thomas Jefferson was not simply a classically educated gentleman of his time. He had far exceptionally far-ranging interests, was a dedicated amateur musician, and drew up plans to build an ambitious art collection at Monticello while still in his twenties. In the spirit of our founder, the arts are moving to center stage at U.Va. Alumni at Reunions Weekend 2008 received an update on the University's ambitious arts campaign, and the panel includes: Tom Bloom, chair of the drama department; Larry Goedde, chair of the art department; Bruce Holsinger, chair of the music department; and Elizabeth Turner, vice provost for the arts. The panel is introduced by Andrea Douglas, Curator of the University of Virginia Art Museum.
