Dedicated Staff

Now I know why corporations and even non-profit organizations have dedicated staff to manage social media... Since my last post, we've had Paint the Town, Paint the Festival at Roots & Blues (both raucous events, netting the gallery some much needed cash and engaging a huge number of artists - thank you all!), Fall Fair and the opening of Arthur Brooke's watercolour journals. What a treat to have that in our community. Imagine curator Deb Chapman's delight when someone showed up at the museum with six books containing 324 watercolour paintings of early 1920's farming life with this little girl named Ruth. The exhibition is on at SAGA until September 25 and should not be missed. Today at Coffee Break, I encouraged Deb to take this to the National Gallery - it certainly wouldn't be out of place there. Of course, she's another one who needs dedicated staff to do these extra projects.
