Contract for Exhibition, Krannert Art Museum, Urbana

(13) The chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended that a contract be executed with the American Federation of Arts in New York to bring an exhibition, "5000 Years of Art," from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Krannert Art Museum for the period January 3 through February 28, 1982. The exhibition consists of objects dating from 3000 B.C. to the twentieth century, illustrating important world cultures and styles in the history of art. The extensive collections of the Metropolitan Museum are being shared through this exhibition with other participating museums. The Krannert Art Museum constituency consists of specialists and students in many fields of art, as well as the general public in central Illinois; hence, the exhibit is expected to have considerable educational value. The contract will require payment by the University of $22,000 plus prorated transportation charges. Funds to support the contract are available in the institutional funds budget, Urbana-Champaign campus, approved by the Board of Trustees for fiscal year 1981. Accordingly, it is recommended that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized to execute a contract with the American Federation of Arts for the loan of the exhibition as described above. The executive vice president has concurred. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn,
