The Durham Public Schools, the Public Library and the Museum of Durham History will be contacted to participate. Hough will work on a list of works on the Duke Campus and information about the Bull City Connector bus shelters. Kenneth Rodgers will do the same for the NCCU campus. Bartlett will collect information from Raleigh-Durham Airport, Southpoint Shopping Center and Northgate Shopping Center. The committee made a list of other locations to target in the project and discussed using student interns on the project. Ellison will look into possibilities for engaging Duke students. The meeting adjourned at 10:00a.m. The next meeting will be Tuesday, April 23, 8:00am, at the Durham Arts Council.
