September 2009 Meeting Minutes

Yao, Colleen, Allison, Julie, Lourdes, Amanda, Elizabeth Funk, Joe, Anna
Welcome

Meetings once a month – we’ll try to vary the time and day

Art Talk – Lourdes and Amanda

Curator Tom Henson (?) would like to do an art talk, but make it more of a roundtable
• He’d like to send out exhibition proposals – it would require a bit of work ahead of time
• 5 proposals – 1-2 pages each
— ‘Matisse and the Mediterranean’
— Not heavy reading – just a general idea of the exhibition content
— Don’t know if they would all be discussed all at once or individual sessions
• You would have to COMMIT to coming and to reading
• Faculty would be invited
• Dates are still up in the air
