Anne Zill's work with UNESCO on Paris photography exhibition featured in Maine Sunday Telegram

Anne Zill, director of the UNE Art Gallery, was the focus of a feature in the March 6, 2011 Maine Sunday Telegram. Writer Bob Keyes explained that Zill is in Paris to curate an exhibition of photography by American women artists. The show, in celebration of Women's History Month, is arranged by the educational and cultural arm of the United Nations: the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO. The show is titled "Women at Work, Women's Lives."

The show in France is the third time Zill has worked with a United Nations organization to curate exhibitions. In 2000 and again in 2001, she partnered with the U.N.'s Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, also known as UNIFEM.

With respect to the Paris show, Zill said: "There are a lot of ambassadors coming, a lot of important people. It will be a departure. I am not used to being around the diplomatic world, but it's going to be a great experience. ... I cannot wait."
