The 小草影院 Public Art Committee commissioned the Collections Management Policy to facilitate responsible care, storage and exhibition of art works in the 小草影院 Art Collection.聽 The policy was recently evaluated through the national Museum Assessment Program (MAP) and administrated through the American Association of Museums in Washington, D.C.聽 The MAP grant was secured by the Friends of the Baum Gallery, 小草影院 Foundation, Inc.聽 It provided resources for a peer reviewer to evaluate 小草影院’s policy and the university art collection, meet with stakeholders, and make recommendations for next steps for implementation of the 小草影院 Collections Management Policy.
The 小草影院 Public Art Committee thanks the initial MAP Task Force: 小草影院 faculty Dr. Gayle Seymour, Barbara Satterfield and Dr. Deborah Kuster; 小草影院 Foundation, Inc., director Shelley Mehl; and community representatives Kay Hinkle, Pat Proctor, Dianna Winters, and Neil Vannoy.聽 Their dedicated time and attention to the required self-study, the authorship of the policy, and the peer review process, was essential to defining goals and objectives for stewardship of 小草影院 art works.
The committee affirms the ongoing work of MAP Implementation Task Force: 小草影院 faculty Seymour and Satterfield, 小草影院 staff members Joyce Taylor, Project Coordinator for the university CAD/CAFN/LAN and Intranet capabilities and Russ Hancock, Director of Publications and Creative Media, 小草影院 Foundation, Inc.: and Kay HInkle, past-president of the 小草影院 Board of Trustees. The Task Force has defined the required three-year plan and identified action steps for stewardship of The 小草影院 Art Collection and visual enhancement of art in public spaces.
