We are having growing pains
We hear ourselves often saying, "I wish the Barn were bigger". We have two Friends of the Barn from Seattle, Rob Hutchison and Tom Maul, architects who have volunteered their time to steer us through the evaluation of our space needs and propose some solutions.The initial workshop in January 2011 had most board members and many artists present, and a lot of good information was gleaned. Rob returned in March with four possible solutions. Discussion followed with the artists and board members present, and gave Rob a direction. He is returning mid-July with a development of the design idea.
