Minutes- Peggy Prichett moved to accept amended minutes.  Neva Hansen seconded.  Approved unanimously.

 

New member- Introduced Terry Catalano who is the new alternate member.

 

Met with Stefan Nofield to review our recommendations to the town about our role as the Art Commission.  We agreed that the most important problem is finding adequate storage for the collection. Stefan and the Commission will research the space needed and confer with others who have this experience.  It was agreed to try to meet with Peter Macara and Jim Zimmerman next Tuesday, the 17th at 3 pm or whenever we can to get their ideas about storage needs.

 

Stefan asked us to clarify what objects we were responsible for.  We are responsible for the art work and the bronzes.  The question came up about the glass photographic plates.  They are probably of historic value so would not be our responsibility.

 

Neva needs a signature to acquire two pieces of art left to the town by --------.

 

Diane Shumway got a price for photography from Jim Zimmerman between $1200-$1500 for digital photos and slides.  We agreed that complete collection should be done and that would probably cost at least $2,000.00. Diane will research the matter further.

 

Diane made some suggestions about acceptance form, especially about the town having the right to sell the work.  She will look over the current form and make suggestions.

 

Meeting adjourned: 4:27 pm

 

Respectfully submitted: Constance Black (508)487-3814
