A Message from Stan Smith, Board President
Esteemed Members of the Art Association:
I am honored and proud to be serving as your Board President this year. It is going to be an exciting year for many reasons, not the least of which is the completion of the Art Center and Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC) buildings.
A few weeks ago, Luis and I had the opportunity to take a walking tour of the construction site. It was a beautiful and sunny winter day when we donned our hard hats and walked through the construction gates.
I was immediately struck by the enormity of the exterior aqua colored walls in the PACC. I was glad to learn that the color was not a paint selection but the color of the waterproofing sealant. I was impressed with the spaciousness of the Art Center and could envision all the natural light streaming through the many spaces dedicated for art education programs.
As we were walking through, it was apparent that many hours of hard work, much thought, and meticulous planning had gone into the design and construction of the entire campus. While the space between the buildings looked like any other construction site, I am excited to imagine how the sculpture garden will look this fall.
As members of the Rockport Center for the Arts, we should all be proud of the part we have played in bringing this dream so close to reality.
Yours,
Stan Smith
