Description
Established in 1931 by Anna Brugh Singer and her husband William H. Singer, Jr., the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts (WCMFA) has been recognized as one of the finest small museums in the United States. Its collection includes over 7,000 works of art in the fields of American art, world cultures, and art of the region. The WCMFA’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit art of lasting quality for the citizens of Hagerstown, Washington County, and the surrounding region. The mission is implemented through the development, interpretation, and care of art collections; creation of original and educational exhibitions; and presentation of interpretive lectures, concerts, films, art instruction, and other programs to ensure that visitors gain a better appreciation and understanding of the fine arts. Convergent Technologies Design Group was asked to provide interior room acoustics recommendations for the Atrium and Bowman Gallery. Recommendations included use of Clearsorber Foil by RPG in the Atrium and acoustical plaster applied to entire gypsum ceiling of the Bowman Gallery.
