Went for walk first thing after breakfast. I pooped out at 7th St. Karen walked all the way around.
Participated in Hudson Arts Task Force meeting. Run by Seth Rogovoy. over 30 people attended. Well organized and well run. Met some new people in the arts community. From my email to others:
Thanks to Julia for alerting us to this. I attended the Arts Task Force mtg. Tuesday 3pm. About 35 people. Seth Rogovoy chaired the meeting.
I attended with two hats – the Davis Orton Gallery and HAL. I specifically mentioned the library’s connections to the arts community and our early planning for an art auction with shared proceeds. Most of the meeting was taken up with setting up sub-committees to investigate various approaches to supporting the arts.
