From the StarPhoenix May 16, 2011 - Letter to the Editor Artist David Geary (Mendel move wisdom questionable, SP, May 6) offers many worthwhile arguments that support keeping the Mendel Art Gallery where it is. As Geary says, 60 per cent of the people responding to a StarPhoenix survey in 2008 supported keeping the Mendel at the current site, and also wanted $24 million spent to renovate the gallery. If the Saskatchewan Art Gallery were to be built between the freeway and Persephone Theatre, the only attraction would be the constant roar of cars. |
