Fine Arts Commission Subcommittee Structure

Proposed Fine Arts Commission Subcommittee Structure
Currently, the Fine Arts Commission creates ad hoc subcommittees each time a project or program
comes up. While this has worked in the past, it becomes more complicated as the work of the
commission has grown.
The idea behind this proposal is to organize around what the work actually is rather than which program

The basic idea: three subcommittees
Instead of one subcommittee per program, we’d have three subcommittees organized by function.
Every program would still get the attention it needs — it’s just that the same people who plan one
exhibition would also plan the others, the same people who create the grant application would create
