Mayor Carrie Lacher is pleased to announce the appointment of Gail Richard to the Friday Harbor Arts Commission (FHAC). Richard, a Heritage Interpretation trainer and retired educator, brings experience in working with visual art exhibits, shows, and galleries, as well as involvement with local performing arts including volunteering with the San Juan Community Theatre and San Juan Singers.
As a board member and trainer with the National Association of Interpretation, her work took her to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. “My work with these organizations has been focused on local art and its impact on the community at large,” Richard explained in her introductory letter.
Richard will serve a three-year term commencing January 1, 2017. She joins Macalister Arendt as the newest members of the eight-person commission. Arendt is the appointed youth commissioner for the 2016-2017 school term.
Members of the FHAC represent the interests of the Town, community, and local artists and advise the Town Council on the cultivation, selection, acquisition, and placement of public art.
