The Ala Story Print Collection
Description
Ala Story was the second director of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, having had enjoyed a successful career as a gallerist in England and then as director of the American British Art Center in New York in the late 1930s. The Ala Story Print Collection was established initially by Ms. Story as a collection of forty prints dating from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries and celebrated its opening reception on March 9. 1967. Friends and associates continued to donate works to the collection in Ms. Story’s name in order that they be made available for study at AD&A Museum. Thus, the Ala Story Print Collection, with more than 190 prints spanning five hundred years of art history, truly embodies the spirit of community support and stewardship instrumental to the establishment of AD&A Museum.
