Scope and content
Item consists of correspondence between Eye Level Gallery and the Dalhousie University Present, W. Andrew MacKay regarding the proposed closure of the Dalhousie Art Gallery. Michael Fernandes wrote a letter to the Dalhousie President stating the vital role the art gallery has in the "cultural health of this area" and that cutbacks to the gallery's budget "will undoubtedly set a disturbing precedent with discouraging and far-reaching effects on many people; artists and viewers alike." Fernandes' letter was accompanied with four pages of signatures who protested the idea of negative changes to the Dalhousie Art Gallery. MacKay responded acknowledging the concerns, but also states that Dalhousie is facing "severe financial problems, and we are reviewing the whole range of services and programmes other than strictly academic programmes".
