M-dord. nr dinner The Rogue Valley Art asso ciation has engaged its first professional director. He is E. Theodore Lindbcrg of Eugene and the University of Ore gon's Museum of Art, who was selected by the board of directors.

Born in Jamestown, New York in 1931, Mr. Lindberg attended the State University of New York, Syracuse uni versity and took a bachelor's degree from the National University of Mexico. Employed most of his ca reer as an industrial designer, advertising lay-nut artist and design-public relations spe cialist, he became seriously Interested in art museum and gallery work only last year and decided to devote his full time to that field. "I've spent so much time in museums and galleries, im mersed in various aspects of art," he said, "I felt I might as well be doing and enjoying it as a vocation." Mr. Lindberg feels that his first responsibility is to in creasing membership in the association. Art Musaum Society "The association," he re minded a group of artists re cently, "is in essence an art museum society. We will as sume that we are an art mu seum society without, pres ently, a museum, and that I am a museum director with out, presently, an edifice." "Our first goal should be the increase in membership by at least 2,000 persons." Mr. Lindberg also believes that a museum is an integral part of a community and should be used as efficiently and wisely as any other pub lic meeting place. "It is possible," he said, "that an art museum can be a living, dynamic thing, bus tling with activity and on a direct line with the rest of the art world, nationally and internationally. " "And by 'art' world." he added, "I refer not only to painting and sculpture but all the related arts, such as architecture, music, dance, films, the crafts and related design fields." Other roles of an art mu seum, he believes, are certain sped of art education In ac company museum exhibi tions, an active Interest in city planning and beautifica tinn, and a definite responsi bility in presenting excel lence in a world that is filled with visual expression of every level, some of it not so good. "A formidable task, per haps," he admits, "hut one necessary in any rnmmunity that proposes to call itself progressive." Vacationers Ashland - Dr. and Mrs. R. L.
