Dolan was the Director from 1973 – 1978. in addition to mounting an impressive exhibition schedule, she focused efforts on strengthening membership, particularly by encouraging non-artists to join and by cultivating interactions between artists and collectors. Exhibitions were as frequent as twice a month, accompanied by at least two related events every month, one for artists and one for collectors. The Print Center’s annual auctions – the major fundraiser for the year – had also reached one of its grander moments. According to Dolan, they had become mini Sotheby’s and Christie’s sales, offering gems for great values.
