Last summer Memphis, Tenn "We're running scared "It's a great opportunity for Dresden to learn about Mississippi and for Mississippi to learn something about Dresden brooksmuseum
Some of the pieces were shown in the United States in the late 1970s, but it's the first time any of the art has left Germany since the country's unification with the fall of the Berlin wall, Siebel says
Marc Pachter, director of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, recalls getting the most requests from museums here when the gallery offered its traveling exhibit, "A Brush With History," last winter

"The whole family enjoyed it," said Van Winkle And the region's reputation for hospitality doesn't hurt, either high The High now has the sixth largest museum membership in the country The cultural exchange commission put together extensive teacher and student guides for "Dresden," and Alexandria offered an interactive educational Web site for the "Heart of Spain "I don't think people realize that there are big art exhibits like this in the South
Alexandria became the little city that could last year when "The Heart of Spain" â€â€? the museum's first blockbuster â€â€? pulled in 78,000 visitors from September through October themuseum
"I think definitely people have more respect for the region now," Van Winkle said "
The Alexandria museum's Lavergne says the South's cultural emergence is a long overdue change "
Kyle, credited with spearheading efforts to bring high art to Jackson, speaks from experience "
Teresa Hollingsworth, traditional arts manager for the Southern Arts Federation, has seen first hand how the South has evolved into a haven for the visual arts
Oday Lavergne, chairman of the museum's board, says the "spotlight syndrome" definitely played a part in the show's success 6 artsbma "
"Paris Moderne: Art Deco Works From the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris" is on exhibit at the museum â€â€? Mississippi's largest â€â€? through Sept
Not too long ago, he wouldn't have believed it himself S "They were saying, 'Why us?' as opposed to, 'Why not us?' It's a problem all of us in the South have â€â€? there's a lack of self-esteem showing of what is possibly the artist's original vision for the work The family has been to all the previous Jackson exhibits and the high school assistant principal's 15-year-old son, Blake, saw "The Quest for Immortality Treasures of Ancient Egypt" at the New Orleans Museum of Art last fall "There's always something about the first one and it's hard to capture the public like that again I think major lending institutions are looking for smaller venues
Though he recalls having to work a bit to persuade the city to host the $61 million Spain exhibit, Lavergne anticipates a much smoother experience when securing Alexandria's future blockbusters
The Mississippi Commission for International Cultural Exchange, Inc "If we had an exhibit like this in New York, it would get lost amongst the many "
The Atlanta museum's latest international show, "Verrocchio's David Restored," unveiled Andrea del Verrocchio's bronze sculpture of the biblical hero â€â€? the first U
"This is a good cooperation between the United States and Germany and we can shake hands on this on a cultural level," she says "
The willingness of Southern museums to make drastic changes and "do whatever it takes" to accommodate an exhibit is attractive to potential lenders, Lavergne and others say
The profitability of art shows has attracted other "nontraditional" cities as well The museum, nestled in the 49,000-resident town in central Louisiana, took in just 360 visitors in all of 2002 South Becomes Destination for Fine Art

Word has gotten out that the region known for hot, sticky summers, soul-stirring blues, mouthwatering barbecue and a tumultuous civil rights history is also a great place to see priceless artworks that usually are reserved for traditional art Meccas such as New York and Chicago 5 million project for the commission to break even, Kyle says
But the risks, while stressful, can turn out to be rewarding for the host cities 3 noma
Long lines of visitors wound around the Alexandria Museum of Art in Louisiana last fall, the anxiously waiting throngs forming a scene more akin to a Saints game at the Superdome than for an art exhibit in the town on the northern edge of Cajun country
About 320,000 tickets will need to be sold to the $9 That doesn't mean they're forsaking those places â€â€? they're interested in broadening their reach
The High paid much of the cost in restoring the 4-foot-high statue, which was on loan from the National Museum of the Bargello in Florence, Italy " It removed its cafe and reception area to add more floor space, installed a permanent replica of an 800-year-old roadside chapel â€â€? the Capilla de la Santa Cruz de Mederuelos â€â€? and added a previously unneeded high-tech security system
David Brenner, curator of the High's upcoming fall show, "Van Gogh to Mondrian: Modern Art From the Kröller-Müller Museum," said such quid pro quo arrangements are winning situations for foreign museums that lack funds to restore precious pieces and for Southern museums who get to showcase the art in exchange for helping to make the restorations happen
"The Southeast in the last 10 or 15 years has become known for having international exhibitions," she says He especially liked the coin collection "We don't want to do something that's irresponsible "
Taking risks is a must in the art business, where insurance for the million-dollar shows can be astronomical, sponsors are crucial and success hinges almost entirely on public response
The Alexandria museum underwent nearly $1 million in renovations for "The Heart of Spain
"We've heard from major museums that they're very interested in working with museums outside the narrow fields that they usually work with," High director Michael E , offered visitors "The Glory of the Silk Road: Art From Ancient China" at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art 6 Besides the Dresden diamond and Johannes Vermeer's 1656 painting, "The Procuress," the show includes coins, armor, sketches and scores of intricately painted porcelain So far sales have been lagging for the "Baroque" show, which opened March 1 and runs at the pavilion through Sept 8, exceeding the museum's expectations, spokeswoman Rebecca Murphy said
"It was a tremendous uphill sales job â€â€? most people in the beginning didn't believe," he says
"A major exhibit here has a far greater impact in the community and region than in the larger ones," Lavergne says excitedly while standing in one of the museum's brightly lighted halls "The international museums are realizing that there are some big advantages to our region
The show brought in 51,000 visitors during its run from Nov
"We send out invitations and usually the ones who respond first are from the South," he says org
http://www "It's not that we say we're going to target the South, but the South targets us "To have 150 people come out for a weeknight lecture in Jackson, Mississippi â€â€? that's a big deal," she says
That success led to Jackson hosting the "Splendors of Versailles" in 1998 and "The Majesty of Spain: Royal Collections From the Museo del Prado & Patrimonio Nacional" in 2001
He's hoping the Baroque show will finish strong economically despite its sluggish start
He didn't blame her Within the past two years, Las Vegas, known more for gambling than Gauguin, has been home to "Faberge: Treasures From the Kremlin," "Art Through the Ages: Masterpieces of Painting From Titian to Picasso" and "Andy Warhol: The Celebrity Portraits This year, as part of "Wonders: The Memphis International Cultural Series," the city is showing "Masters of Florence: Glory & Genius at the Court of Medici" through Oct
The opportunity for educational outreach is also a big draw for international museums looking to share their culture with Americans, Kyle says
"It's a blessing and a curse at the same time," Kyle says from his office in the Mississippi Arts Pavilion where framed posters from each of the past shows line the walls msmuseumart You just put this all together and hope that by the end of it you've broken even
And two traveling exhibits, "African Shields: Art, Power and Identity" and "Kamisaka Sekka: Rimpa Master â€â€? Pioneer of Modern Design," are on view at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama through the summer The three previous Jackson shows generated between $140 million and $150 million, Kyle says Petersburg," which saw more than 554,000 visitors and was the highest attended event of that year About 75,000 tickets have been sold, compared to the 200,000 that had been sold at this stage for the Spain exhibit
Antonio Corradini's breathtaking "Bust of a Vestal" expertly mimics falling folds of material, with only close inspection revealing the sheer veil draped over the sculpture is indeed a marble-carved illusion
"I was surprised that this was in Jackson," says Van Winkle, who recently made the three-hour drive from Biloxi with his family to see the "Glory of Baroque Dresden" exhibit in downtown Jackson
"Our focus is definitely about education and community," she says We aren't about making a profit , has secured three such shows since 1996, starting with the "The Palaces of St com
http://www Siebel, who is with the State Art Collections Dresden, traveled to Jackson with 11 German conservators earlier this year to oversee the installation of the art A Matisse show opened soon after "Rings" and a Picasso exhibition followed nine months later
But the enormous success of a first show, like the glistening silver and gold weapons hanging in the gallery of the Armory room at the Dresden exhibit, can be a double-edged sword, says Jack Kyle, executive director of the arts commission org
http://www "
Curators say one of those advantages is the amount of attention shows receive in the South compared to the higher-profile art hubs
The High Museum of Art capitalized on the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta
Another factor that has led to the South's art uprising is the region's tenaciousness in going after exhibits Its "Rings: Five Passions in World Art" exhibit had an instant global audience and vaulted the High onto the international art scene
As for hospitality, that's one of the factors that made Jackson so attractive to German curators, says Sabine Siebel, project manager for Dresden show But I think that tide is turning
Bradley points out that the museum's popular "Buried Treasure" lecture series, which regularly attracts an average of 100 participants each month, is proof of the community's growing art consciousness "There's no science to this," he says "
The educational impact on a community is the main purpose of most museums and is far more valuable than any monetary returns, says Betsy Bradley, director of the Mississippi Museum of Art
