THE FINE ARTS COMMISSION (U)
1. The Fine Arts Commission (FAC), under the general direction of
the Deputy Director for Administration (DDA), advises the Director of
Central Intelligence on aesthetic matters relating to the appearance of
CIA facilities in the Metropolitan Washington area. It promotes an
attractive working environment (buildings and grounds), provides a
mechanism for the expression of the cultural interests and activities of
Agency employees, and supports a program of exhibits in the Headquarters
Building Exhibit Hall. It advises the DDA and the Director of Logistics
regarding proposals which would alter the appearance of Agency premises
and assists in the establishment of standards. The complete charter of
the FAC is included in the revision which will be issued
2. A number of standing committees have been established with
specific responsibilities in areas of continuing interest to the FAC.
At present, the FAC has five committees.
a. The Art Committee deals with recommendations to the FAC
regarding the accession, retention, and rotation of art works
displayed in the public areas of the Headquarters Building. It
also manages the annual Employee Art Exhibit.
b. The Exhibits Committee manages the Agency Exhibit Hall
(lD Corridor, Headquarters Building). It plans or coordinates the
planning of exhibits and maintains the exhibition schedule. Its
members often assist in the installation of exhibits and the
development and distribution of publicity regarding the exhibits.
c. The Work Environment Committee supports efforts by Agency
individuals, organization components, or other environmental
committees to improve local work environments. Its membership
includes representatives from each of the Agency buildings in the
Metropolitan Washington area.
