Art in Public Places (AIPP)

I hope everybody is safe and sane.  I want to begin to think about AIPP.  The board is meeting this week and may have some input. At moment I don't know when the venues will open but if you are hanging at the moment, give the venue a call and let me know what you find out as far as their plans. We will have to take it one step at a time.  Hopefully, things will loosen up earlier rather than later.  I'm assuming that artists, who are signed up for later in the season, will be able to follow the original plan. 
 
Also, there are some empty slots still available.  If interested, please let me know. If you have any questions or suggestions or changes also let me know.   Colleen
