Did you know…
If you see something that needs to be fixed or replaced at your site you can request it?
KYCC’s Maintenance Request list is on the KYCC Wiki under the Facility & Tech section.
When you make the request, you can give it a priority from one to three:
One being the most urgent, two will be put into our regular workflow, and three will be fixed when time and budget allow.
Porfirio and I will make sure to go through the list and take care of the items.
If the item needs immediate attention, send an email to both Joe and Miguel.
Now you know.

A useful definition of art
Art is a human activity. It is the creation of something new, something that might not work, something that causes a viewer to be influenced.
Art uses context and culture to send a message. Instead of only a contribution of beauty or craft, art adds intent. The artist works to create something generous, something that will change us.
Art isn’t painting or canvas or prettiness. Art is work that matters.
It’s entirely possible that you’re an artist.
Everyone can be, if we choose.
