As a member of the Walker I believe now was a good time for a new director! Fresh ideas, concepts, communication with the urban community and suburbs' is desperately needed, at a time when museum patronage is dropping, in this town! Read statistics in the StarTribune. You could help build an art image here. What a challenge that will be. Is Minneapolis a city of just encyclopedic museums; or a city that projects a unique art genre! Get in front of the public, through the media, like no director has done before. Be an "Art Star", a top athlete of the paint and brush team. Maybe Walker billboards will be fun at the new stadiums going up! I am a different kind of member! I'm looking for progress. I don't leave trivial messages. I'm a retired corporate advertising art director. Having seen millions of art images; boredom has set in, so wake-me-up, get some color in your museum! Then I'll come back. Good luck!
