and featured “Glass in the
Gallery” curator Mary Childs
of Duncan McClellan Gallery.
She played moderator,
along with manager of
curatorial programming,
Danny Olda. They had
conversations with several
of the exhibition artists,

But it only sparked the
momentum that has resulted in some very comprehensive and
innovative programming. “We are always in keeping the goal of
revenue generation for the arts and artists in mind,” says Olda.
Of course, the entertainment value to all of us with a bit of extra
time on our hands and a longing to see the work of our favorite
creatives, is a pretty big plus.

their work can now

tireless team will come up with even more innovative concepts to
keep us engaged, to keep us working and to keep us strong. I, for
one, just wanted to say thank you.
