History and Art: An App State partnership with Blowing Rock Art and History Museum (BRAHM)

Appalachian State University alumnae Dianna Cameron '13 and Carrie Streeter '12 collaborated on an exhibition of art collected by two of the Cone sisters.
In 2018, Dr. Neva J. Specht, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, connected alumna Carrie Streeter with the executive director at the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum (BRAHM), who was in the process of developing a team to curate an exhibition of the art collected by Dr. Claribel Cone and Etta Cone, two of the Cone sisters.
Streeter collaborated with former BRAHM Curator Dianna Cameron, who holds a Bachelor of Science in art management and a Bachelor of Fine Art in studio art from App State, on both the exhibit and the extensive catalog for the critically acclaimed show.
Streeter, who earned her master’s in public history from App State, was one of the researchers who helped Specht with her earliest Cone Estate research.
