Letter to Editor

Editor,

I respectfully request the Architectural and Review Committee and GRF Board of Directors reconsider the proposal to remove the art and photo display in the hallways of Clubhouse 3.

The paintings, artwork and photo displays showcase the talent and creativity in Leisure World. It is one of the highlights of my walk. These pictures tell stories and enrich our life with beauty and truth.

We need information as to why these paintings and photos will be taken down, and there should be input from the shareholders impacted by this decision. Lastly, the artists and those of us who enjoy their work deserve the same support and consideration as the golfer, swimmer, dancer, gamer and all other hobby enthusiasts. Art empowers the creator with a sense of purpose and enriches the viewer with a sense of wonder and joy.

As William Blake wrote in “Auguries of Innocence,” “To see the world in a Grain of Sand/And a heaven in a Wild Flower/Hold Infinity in the Palm of your hand/ And Eternity in an hour.”

This decision will impact our quality of life in Leisure World. Please give us an opportunity to enjoy it.
