Description

The Art Advisory Committee (AAC) was established by the Board of Supervisors to promote the visual arts in Loudoun County and to collect and display works of art in the Loudoun County Government Center that reflect the community. The Art Advisory Committee arranges monthly exhibitions of work by Loudoun artists; displays the art collection in the Loudoun County Government Center and other appropriate County facilities; collects artwork and oversees donations and loans; acts as custodian of the collection and oversees its stewardship; obtains proposals that relate to artwork conservation for the County collection (such proposals are forwarded to the Office of County Administration for approval); maintains documentation files on the artists and the collection; obtains gallery signage and supplies needed for safe and secure installation of the collection and loan artwork; and arranges for promotion of its exhibitions and of the collection.
