Title

Body
TEMPORARY ART EXHIBITIONS:
The Panel received proposals for three temporary art exhibitions.
Dr. Damian started the discussion with a general overview regarding the policy and process of addressing temporary public art exhibition proposals. She asked the Panel to consider how proposals are vetted, what the process is to accept a proposal, to consider the agenda of the proposer (artist or representative of the artist), and how much the Panel should or should not be involved. She commented on the commercial intent of many proposers and need for clarity regarding the delineation of responsibilities.
