To replace the 100 year old, damaged roof of the art gallery. To protect the fine art exhibited in the gallery. To protect the gallery structure itself, and the equipment investments inside which support quality arts events. (i.e. sound system, seating, gallery cases, lighting.) To focus the attention of the performers and the audience on artistic expression rather than gallery maintenance. To demonstrate our commitment to mission respecting the original architectural design of the gallery. To complete an incremental step toward organizational goals.Successful completion of this project will be measured in gallons at the rain barrel rather than buckets in the gallery. In other words, artists and patrons will not be distracted by efforts to divert drips from a leaking roof. Fine art work will leave the gallery after exhibition in the same good condition as it arrived. Patrons will be encouraged to comment on the project in the gallery guest book.
Buckets and plastic sheeting are no longer required in the gallery. Artwork is protected from potential and eminent roof leaks. The patron comments will be registered primarily during the 2014 concert season. Many encouraging comments were registered via social media postings of project progress.
