          Virginia Jeffrey Smith papers, 1949-1965

          1.0 Cubic Feet 2 boxes 1.04 Cubic Feet .35 Cubic Feet
          Virginia Jeffrey Smith was a Rochester artist and art critic. In the fall of 1950, she took over authorship of Artists and Craftsmen, a column created by long-time Times-Union journalist Amy H. Croughton, who was also the paper's theater and film critic. The last column authored by Virginia Jeffrey Smith appeared on September 9, 1965. Artists and Craftsmen covered the Rochester arts scene, including exhibitions at the Memorial Art Gallery, the Eastman House, and numerous smaller galleries. During the years that Smith authored the column, it reflected her personal interests as an artist, a local historian, and a world traveler. In addition to documenting the careers of local mid-century artists, including Ralph Avery, John Menihan, and James D. Havens, the column chronicles the growth of Rochester's art institutions and movements, such as the Arena Group, the Genesee Group, the Rochester Art Club, the annual Finger Lakes Exhibition, and the early years of the Clothesline Arts Festival. The collection includes copies of the published column (both loose clippings and clippings gathered into scrapbooks), draft versions of other writings by Smith, background notes on art and artists, a small amount of graphic materials, correspondence related to the column, and a small amount of personal ephemera.
