PUBLIC COMMENTS

Mr. Hardt offered support for the progress made with the Art Committee and some suggestions for promoting the upcoming Donor Wall.
 
NEW BUSINESS
 
The Committee was provided an update on the seven Martyl pieces that are in the possession of the Conservation Center. The Conservation Center will assist with the analysis of conservation and framing as well as provide an evaluation plan for all the Art in the Library. Executive Director and Rachel Newlin will follow up with them for further engagement to properly assist us. Much gratitude was expressed to Rachel Newlin for all her research and work.

The Conservation Center will also be approached to help with current art placement and assess the 1st-floor and 2nd-floor space.

A rendering was provided to the Art Committee for the donor wall with minor comments to offer back to Mr. Friedman and to follow up on for the committee. We anticipate the donor wall will be installed relatively quickly as Mr. Friedman is responsive on deliverables.

Discussion was made on future art procurement and researching trained art buyers to assist the Committee. Additionally, a new art appraisal needs to be considered with the inclusion of the branch art.

ADJOURNMENT

Trustee Seyring adjourned the meeting at 7:01 P.M.
