Following the fall of the USSR, Sokolina worked on international exhibitions for the Moscow Young Architects Association. In 1992-93, she curated traveling exhibitions \"New Architectural Concepts from Moscow\" at Green Berlin Hall, Germany, and at the Ecole d'Architecture de Strasbourg, France; and in 1994, \"Art Russia\" at the Gallery Buergerhaus (City Hall) Groebenzell, Germany. Sokolina was also the curator/director of the Tabakman Museum in Hudson, NY.

She volunteers for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Education Department.","Sokolina has also edited a monographic anthology, Architecture and Anthroposophy, in which twenty-seven distinguished subject specialists wrote chapters on philosophically and spiritually inspired trends in organic architecture and art of the 20th century. In 2002 Sokolina started working on a collaborative non-profit project, Russian Art 1860-1940 in Western Collections, Information Database on the Internet funded by a number of donors including the S.R. Guggenheim Foundation, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Judith Rothschild Foundation, and Galerie Gmurzynska in Cologne. The project aims to develop a web-based bilingual database of information on Russian art to serve as a resource for educational and scholarly research, and for national and international exchange of knowledge.

Following the fall of the USSR, Sokolina worked on international exhibitions for the Moscow Young Architects Association. In 1992-93, she curated traveling exhibitions \"New Architectural Concepts from Moscow\" at Green Berlin Hall, Germany, and at the Ecole d'Architecture de Strasbourg, France; and in 1994, \"Art Russia\" at the Gallery Buergerhaus (City Hall) Groebenzell, Germany.

May Steinmesch papers are organized into the three following series: Personal papers, Professional papers, and Project records. Items are arranged chronologically within series and sub-series.","(Henrietta) May Steinmesch was born on May 9, 1893, to parents Henry Steinmesch and Adelaide Caldwell, in St. Louis, Missouri. She received a B.S. in Architecture from the University of Washington in St. Louis in 1916. Following her graduation, she worked for the St. Louis City Planning Commission until 1923 as a draftsperson, designer, and delineator. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s she strung together several jobs, teaching drafting and interior design courses, working for St. Louis firms, and building a small business around private interior design commissions and consultations.","During World War II, Steinmesch worked for the U.S. Army of Engineers and Air Force; her work included plotting airfields and teaching drafting and map-making skills to naval officers. After requesting to be discharged in 1943, she went to work for the Western division of the United Services Organization, where she stayed until 1946, after which, she worked for various firms and agencies in California until her retirement in 1958.","In 1915, while Steinmesch was still at the University of Washington she founded an undergraduate organization for women studying architecture called \"La Confrerie Alongive.\" Later, Steinmesch, along with the other women studying at UW, organized with women in programs at the Universities of Minnesota, Texas, and California. In 1922, the four chapters formed a national organization called Alpha Alpha Gamma, for which Steinmesch served as president from 1928 to 1930. Alpha Alpha Gamma eventually became the Association for Women in Architecture (AWA) in 1948. Although AWA later dissolved as a national organization, its California chapter remains active as a professional organization, now called the Association for Women in Architecture and Design, or AWA+D.","H.

Elsa was enthusiastic about art from a young age as evidenced from her high school journal. She was a cartoonist for her school's newspaper and her diary contains many sketches and doodles. Little is known about Elsa's later life outside of the Art League, but it is known that she met her husband Charles Wurtz through the Art League.","The Art League of Philadelphia aimed to present and promote the work of member artists, both male and female. Their work included painting, watercolors, ceramics, photography and a variety of printmaking techniques. The League held exhibitions of members' work, lectures, and studio classes. Many members were graduates of art institutions including the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, the Pennsylvannia  Academy of the Fine Arts, the Woodmere Art Museum, and the Barnes Foundation.","In 2015, the following biographical information was submitted by family of Elsa Wurtz. This and additional information from the family has been included with the collection:","A Philadelphian, Mrs. Wurtz was awarded a four-year scholarship to Moore College of Art. She designed greeting cards for Norcross in New York City before learning to read blueprints and then illustrating them for Fleetwings (an aircraft supplier or manufacturer outside Philadelphia) during World War II.","Early in her career, she painted in watercolor and exhibited at numerous venues, including the Rittenhouse Square Clothesline Exhibit. As time went on, she painted Impressionistic works in acrylic. She also created silkscreen art, prints, and worked in stained glass.","Her future husband always said that he picked out his mother-in-law and married her only single daughter. Elsa preferred to put it that she picked out her father-in-law (a fellow member of the Art League) and married his only single son!","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Meeting Minutes of the Art League of Philadelphia with Manuscript Diary of Art League Member Elsa Marie Hofheinz was completed in May 2014.","This collection contains a book of minutes from the meetings of the Art League of Philadelphia from October 21, 1936 to October 21, 1947 as recorded by the League's secretaries over those years. The Art League of Philadelphia aimed to present and promote the work of member artists, both male and female.
