KENNEDY PUBLIC ART GALLERY 28 June 2013 Dear Kennedy Gallery Friends: We are pleased to present the KGF Steering Committee's first report on its work to achieve independence for the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery. The work has been slow, and difficult at times, but we feel we are making steady progress. Despite the fact negotiations with the Capitol Centre leadership have temporarily ceased, the work continues. We are currently in the midst of formulating a plan which we believe will lead to an independent Kennedy Gallery emerging with a new vision. As we move forward, we are hoping to expand the KGF steering committee and, in the near future, meet with Kennedy Gallery Friends as a whole.Today we are asking you to do two things: 1. 2. Reaffirm your support for our goal of independence: send us your comments. Let us know if you believe we are headed in the right direction. Enlist other Kennedy Gallery Friends: Strong KGF member support will be crucial to our success.

offset the problem of under utilization especially during the early years of a new facility's operation. The Theatre Arts and Community Centre, (TACC), an organization of 2 4 people representing all the arts in North Bay, Ontario, has come together for just this purpose. As the first step in demonstrating the need for facilities and the existence of community support, North Bay's first Festival of the Arts was held in 1974. The festival was a showcase for the talent of North Bay and was an enormous success. As plans for the arts centre progress, programs are being developed which will ensure its success from opening day. The Arts, People and Municipalities CCA-Rapport (Canadian Conference for the Arts) Robert Bailey, 1978 We hope we have successfully defined the bedrock issue confronting the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery: it is a question of governance. And defining the solution does not require long deliberation as has been suggested. The answer is self-governance for the gallery. However, it now appears that it will require a concerted effort to achieve that goal. In the near future we will be asking for a commitment from each and every one of the Kennedy Gallery Friends.
