6. Long Term Goal: The LCVA's goal in the next 1-2 years is to move the gallery to a location where we would not pay rent, for example a bank or a library. The achievement of this plan would allow us to sublease the existing gallery and turn it into studio space. It would also eliminate the need for gallery sitting. The cost savings from not having to pay rent would allow us to hire a full time gallery director.
7. Planting art seeds downtown: By the next board meeting, obtain a minimum of four business owners in Lenawee County that would allow us to hang art in their place of business. The goal is to increase exhibiting opportunities for artists, and promote the LCVA. Artists would install all work themselves.
8. Gallery Sitting: Janet will be calling all members to see when they can gallery sit. If you would like to volunteer for gallery sitting please contact Janet Graham grahams4@tc3net.com or Gregg Perez gandkperez@tc3net.com . A gallery sitting schedule can be found under the links section of this page.
9. Next Years Calendar: I'm meeting with Pi this Saturday to hash out the calendar for 2008. We will present it to the board in July for approval. If you have any ideas or suggestion please email me at gandkperez@tc3net.com
