It is my firm belief that these proposed trips will further our center's mission and benefit the citizens of Waterloo. The Waterloo Cultural & Arts Commission, the Commission's Collections and Exhibitions Committee, and Friends of the Art Center have all endorsed these trips and I am providing letters of support reflecting this. Please note that none of the expenses associated with these trips, with the exception of Mr. Paige's salary, are being funded by City or State monies. Friends of the Art Center has budgeted funds this year to support such travel. Any additional costs will be underwritten by funds to support collection/exhibition activities drawn from the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa and/or will be paid by the employees themselves. The 2016 Haitian Art Society Annual Conference will be held in San Francisco this year. We propose to send only one representative from our staff, Curator Chawne Paige. Having a presence at the conference is critical in promoting the profile of our collection among Haitian art collectors and scholars, forging new project partnerships, soliciting donations to the collection, and advocating for bringing the conference to Waterloo in 2017. Since first becoming active in the Haitian Art Society in 2005, the affiliations developed through this organization have resulted in donations of art to the collection valued at over 1.5 million dollars. Also as a result, works from WCA's collections have regularly been featured in scholarly publications which are distributed nationally and internationally, raising awareness of the collection and encouraging collectors, scholars and others to plan trips to visit Waterloo and the Center for the Arts. Additionally, I personally have the opportunity to take part in a research trip to Guatemala next February to seek out and acquire additional pieces for our collection of Guatemalan crafts and textiles and to curate an exhibition of Guatemalan art to present at WCA. One of our long-time donors, Ute Stebich, will be in Guatemala making artist contacts in preparation for the trip and I would also have the opportunity to travel with Laurie Carmody Ahner who has been a longtime dealer in Guatemalan art. She has connections with many of the finest artists producing in the country. I would be prepared to take vacation time for the trip and I would personally be willing to cover some of the expenses of the trip as needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns.
