Change of Preparators
Julie Brown Smith and her assistant, Ian Wilson, have resigned from their positions as preparator and assistant preparator in order to pursue other interests. We thank them for their contributions to the Art Center. We are pleased to welcome Mark Davy and his assistant, Kait Kent, back to the Art Center to resume the responsibility of installing exhibits. Mark and Kait served in this capacity for many years, and we look forward to working with them again.
