The Woodstock Art Gallery may soon be able to make their own decisions. Council has been presented with four governance options for the gallery which could see most of the decision making taken away from council. As it stands now, the Art Gallery Advisory committee can only advise council on what they would like to do and would still need council approval on their decisions. The new recommendations would see the creation of a board that could make decisions on fundraisers and the purchasing of art with council only needed for final budget approval. Mayor Pat Sobeski says the current model has been hurting the City when it comes to applying for provincial grants. "We are competing with private sector galleries and there's a view sometimes with these federal and provincial granting institutions that well, you're owned by the City of Woodstock, so they've got deep pockets so you can survive without our money, so it's a direction I think we have to make." Council is expected to vote on the matter Thursday night.
