Art Advisory Committee looking for new members.

Do you like your Library? Do you like spending money? Do you like art??

If you answered 'yes' to these questions, you might also like being part of the Library's Art Advisory Committee! We're looking for candidates who are involved and interested in the arts community in some way -- artists, framers, instructors, students, gallery employees, collectors and serious enthusiasts -- to join the Committee. The Committee is made up of six members, and terms run for three years. One of the primary responsibilities is the judging of artworks submitted to the annual Art Purchase Prize contest, with the winning works being purchased by the Library and added to our Art To Go collection of framed posters and original works that patrons can check out. Other tasks for which the Committee would be called upon include the reviewing and deciding upon any gifted works for Art To Go, as well as any proposals for art to be added to the Library's permanent collection.

If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, fill out an application and return it, in person or via email, to Candice Smith (candice-smith@icpl.org). If you've got questions about the Committee, feel free to contact me by email or phone (319-887-6031). In the meantime, stop by the Library and take a look at the Art To Go collection, and take home a couple pieces!
