15
16 There was some discussion about a unified theme of the seasons in Town Square for a
17 permanent display in the foyer of Town Hall. The idea was to have one painting per side
18 of the foyer. "Christmas in Town Square" by Trish Biddle is still for sale. It was proposed
19 to display it in Town Hall now. After the Town Hall Use Policy is approved, it will be
20 possible to display art in Town Hall. An approved form will be available to request
21 display of transient pieces or collections. The artist will have to sign a release so the
22 liability lies with the artist. There was discussion about purchasing security casings for
23 art pieces.

25 The Southlake Historical Society would like to have some of their black and white
26 photographs hung in Town Hall, perhaps on the second floor. It was suggested that
