Is the Pavilion coming around? Maybe.

by

I suppose I could talk about the (non) press conference about the buckling siding at the EC, but there was so much Beautiful Sunshine going on there, I think they had a couple of skid loaders waiting afterwards.

The BIG story of the day is the announcement of a new Visual Arts Center director at the Pavilion;

Kara Dirkson will become the new director of the Visual Arts Center at the Washington Pavilion beginning Sept. 29.

I have to tell you I was delighted to hear this. Kara is well worth her weight in gold when it comes to art, in other words, she knows her stuff. While Kara and I ‘Don’t Hang’ we have many mutual friends, and I am well aware of her talents. I just hope they let her ‘Do her Job’ of advancing visual arts in our community, that is all I have ever expected of the VAC.

Good Luck Kara! And I have an open invitation for an interview to tell readers what your future plans are for the VAC.

    Perhaps the Pavillion could eventually become an art museum. Good luck Kara.

    Did you almost write something positive? Maybe.

    Trust me, I have my concerns. Taking someone from the private, for profit art industry and putting them in a not-for-profit art world is a tricky and sticky proposition. But I will say this, Kara knows about 1000x more then the last director did about art, and that is promising.

    Any new ideas could work. Especially with someone from the private sector involved. It’s not positive, it’s desperation. Someone (other than city types) with common sense and a little luck could find a real purpose for the last of Munson’s Folly’s.
