Conclusions:
Town Council Workshop –December 12th, 2016
The art is dependent on Westlake for medium, composition, inspiration, venue…
Bring Westlake to the Art and the Artist to Westlake…
Westlake will need to become a place where the
Artists come to do their work; a regional leader in
the arts of the Metroplex…
This requires a Westlake based Art Venue…
