Director's Forum:
Getting Involved

By Wayne Snellen

WITH THIS ISSUE we are trying something new which I hope will facilitate a more frequent newsletter (quarterly) and reduce costs. We now realize we jumped the gun on our all color issue - too expensive and large to maintain at this point in our evolution. As membership and monetary contributions increase we can return to the former format.

That brings up the issue of how you, our membership, can help support LLGAF. We need -

An editor for this newsletter
A grant/stipend to produce this newsletter (perhaps to its former glory?)
Monies to set aside for small grants to artists ($500 each)
An additional computer
Video equipment
Contribution towards placing an ad in a major magazine
Producer/director for our video festival
Producer/director for our Writers in Performance series
Sponsor/underwrite or curate a show

If you have time or money to donate toward any of these projects please contact us at your convenience.

What's New
As the new season opens you will find that we have, once again,  been busy improving the gallery space.

-
First, we have removed the desk on the right as you enter the gallery clearing that part of the main room for improved wall space.
-
Second, the wall between Gallery II and III has been removed making it possible to circumnavigate the whole gallery without backtracking. This makes the back gallery a larger and very desirable space.
-
Third, we removed the display case in Gallery II and moved it to the vestibule area. This helps regain the small wall space lost by removing the wall between the two rooms.
-
Fourth, track lighting has been installed in the corridor and the wall on the right painted the same color as the gallery. Also the floor was repainted a more compatible color. This makes it a more inviting  route to the gallery.
-
Fifth, the rogues gallery has been improved by installing it along the right side and placing it in date order.
-
Sixth, the whole gallery has been repainted.
-
Seventh, various signs and acknowledgments have been placed in strategic places for visitors to peruse.

We want to thank Victor Trivero for his time and expertise. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude — without him none of this would have been finished in such a timely and orderly fashion — indeed, none of it would have been done at all. THANK YOU, VICTOR
