Is this a good change or ??
ReplyDeleteHello Anonymous, it can be whatever PWAS makes of it.
DeleteMaybe it has something to do with the fact that you can’t even tell there was a pride show from this blog.

ReplyDeleteI don't speak for Herb, but after a discussion with him about this yesterday, it seems to me that he doesn't feel there was sufficient progress toward his larger innovative goals, Including: other art forms like performance art, corporate events and participation, live-stream events, press releases, more student participation, etc. I had heard some of these, but was not aware that he viewed them as PWAS responsibilities. He said his intention is not to push anyone out, but to get more of these goals accomplished. I hope we get details of the new organization soon.
ReplyDeleteIf those are the goals of Herb Williams and PW Parks and Rec for the OSA Gallery then perhaps it is best that they do take over the management of the gallery since PWAS is a club for visual artists involved in painting, sculpture, print making, digital art, photography, etc. and quite capable of populating the gallery with those types of art made by our local artists, but the PWAS area of expertise ends there. And PWAS’s involvement is 100% volunteer. Since those other areas of interest would be recruited, organized and handled under the job description of the Arts Recreation Specialist for the county, who is in that paid position, then Mr. Williams would be just the person to do that job.
