Hi all,
It was great to see everyone this week.  Now a question:
I seem to remember around the '90s there were some studies conducted  
that looked at how people feel differently about museum-sponsored and  
non-museum events limiting their access to galleries.  I can't  
remember whether it was in VSA publications or where, anybody  
remember this?  I remember something about visitors being fine with  
museum-based activities (eg, it's ok to hold classes in a gallery  
because that is clearly mission), but cranky about rentals to  
"outsiders" (blocking public access, taxpayer access, etc.)
Thanks,
Beryl
