3. Art Display Policy.  The Committee noted that the Town Council approved a slightly modified version of the art display policy at its February 25 meeting; Scott attended the meeting to answer questions.  Scott,  Jay A. & Kim attended the earlier public hearing on February 11 and answered questions from Council members.

 

4. High School arts.  Jay Ames reported that there was no answer from the art teachers at E.O. Smith. Thus, there is no definitive commitment for a student exhibition at the MCC this spring. Jay A. will contact two persons in the art department to inquire if they are still interested in a student show for spring.

 

5. Earth Day show.  Irmgard Rees inquired about using the display cases for show of objects made by various artists from used and recycled materials in conjunction with Earth Day. The group is interested in the week before April 22 (International Earth Day). As the High School did not agree yet for a show, the AAC discussed the possibility of offering the glass cases for an Earth Day show from April 15 to April 30, or even May 15.  Jay O.will contact Ms. Rees about this.

 

6. MCC art displays.

  1. Betty Stern inquired about a possible display advertising the summer concert program in July.
  2. Sylvia Smith has applied to exhibit water media; Joan will contact her to ask for photos of everything.  She will also contact Eric Roy to ask how many pieces of jewelry he wants to show.
