Dear Editor:
I wish to congratulate the Cornwall Regional Art Gallery on its 30th anniversary in our community. The Art Gallery has been a tremendous asset for the City of Cornwall. The Art Gallery through its exhibitions and educational programs improves the quality of life in our community by making art accessible to everyone. It also enhances the City’s image and promotes tourism and economic development.
At the present time, the Art Gallery has outgrown its present location. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Art Gallery, it is time for the City of Cornwall to bring back the position of arts and culture co-ordinator and to begin working with the Art Gallery and other local arts organizations to develop plans for a new community arts and cultural centre. We badly need an arts and cultural centre to house the Art Gallery with a studio theatre to accommodate the city’s theatre groups, dance troupes, and local musicians.
A new arts and cultural centre will make Cornwall’s arts and cultural scene more vibrant, make Cornwall a better place in which to live, and attract new businesses and jobs.
Yours truly,
Brian Lynch
