Dear CHPAC,

 

Per last week’s discussion (see item from draft summary below), please let me know if you are interested in serving on the Collection Development subcommittee.  Right now the committee comprises Dan and myself.

 

Thank you,

 

Steve

 

 

 

III.  Collection Management Policy Discussion

Wright described the current Permanent Collection, and Commission and Office efforts over the recent years to update the Deaccessioning and Gift policies, and draft an Artwork Maintenance Policy.  What is missing is a Collection Development policy to guide future acquisitions and prospective gifts of artwork to the Town.  This need was recognized by the Commission in 2009, and it moved to suspend the acceptance of “any gifts intended to be used as part of the circulating office collection” until such a policy is in place.  Commissioners asked questions about goals for the Permanent Collection, the policies of similar communities, and how current artwork is displayed and stored.  Commissioners interested in working on a Collection Development subcommittee will email Wright.”
