The purpose of the Library Commons Art Committee is to oversee the selection,
installation and promotion of arts at the Round Valley Public Library Commons.
We will work closely with the Round Valley Public Library Art Committee,
offering our services as needed.
Our goal is to promote Visual, Performing, and Cultural Arts by providing a
welcoming venue for exhibitions open to the public. We will set
exhibition/performance calendars in coordination with the larger building
calendar as well as solicit and promote a broad ranage of topics of interest.
We will be responsible for determining the guidelines for exhibitions, with the
approval of the Executive Board, and seeing that they are applied in a fair and
even-handed manner.
As with all committees of the Friends, we are open to and actively solicit the
participation of all Friends members.
