80 people from across the country applied and the City of Woodstock has named their new Art Gallery Director and Curator. British Columbia native Sheila Perry has accepted the position and has been the Director at a provincial art gallery in St John's Newfoundland since 2009. Perry says she has a lot of ideas for the Woodstock gallery. "I want to see if we can elevate, become collaborators with other cultural entities in the city but also in the area with other cultural institutions in southern Ontario, and perhaps to see where we can actually go and how high". Mayor Pat Sobeski is confident Perry will be a great asset as the gallery goes through a new governance model. "She's earned an M.B.A. through her life so she brings that curator part to it and that business management part to it. And as we're setting up the new governance model we think her experience will be very beneficial". Sobeski says interim curator Patricia Deadman will now go back to work as a full time artist. Perry's first day on the job is August 6.
