Claudia Roblee noted that a speaker at the press conference referred to the program as random acts of culture and that we might want to find a way to use that in our promotion of the event. She would like the BACC members to think about ways to cross-promote the DIA program with our existing sculpture exhibit and the Art Festival, which is the first weekend in August. She suggested doing a pleinair where Brighton Art Guild artists would paint each of the DIA reproductions one day of the Art Festival. This will be discussed further at our March 11 meeting. 7.
