"After a year of pandemic, zoom meetings, masks, keeping six feet apart, and curtailed social interaction, Toledo Museum of Art staff members have come together to close the distance separating them by creating this exhibition. Involving a wide array of two- and three-dimensional art, written work, and video, Closing the Distance reboots the TMA staff exhibition, and it could not have come at a more appropriate time. Staff from Visitor Experience to Curatorial, from Learning & Interpretation to Protective Services, from Facilities to Marketing and more contributed, demonstrating how everyone at the Museum fulfills TMA's mission of integrating art into the lives of people, even during challenging times. The values essential to our Museum's success--diversity, community, innovation, and trust--shine through in the individual works of art, as well as in the individuals who made them: our staff, unified through the Toledo Museum of Art and a common goal to serve the community."--Preface
