The Visual Arts Center may poll students for suggestions about possible extracurricular activities which the Center might sponsor.
Peter B. Shultz, executive secretary of the VAC, said yesterday that the staff might use students' ideas as a basis for a program to encourage creative projects in the Houses and at Radcliffe.
He emphasized that undergraduate artists would not generally be allowed to do individual work in the new Arts Center, which will be used mainly by students taking courses for credit. He said, however, that a few exceptionally talented students may be permitted to do supervised work at the VAC.
The Center may be able to find instructors and help equip rooms for the art classes given at Quincy, Adams, and Eliot Houses, he said. He added that it might assist a group of Radcliffe students who are seeking an art studio in which to work.
The Arts Center may also aid to visual fields like television and motion pictures. Shultz said that if in the future the VAC obtained television facilities, WHRB, the Harvard radio station, might produce occasional TV programs. He also suggested that Robert G. Gardner, Director of the Peabody Museum Film Study Center, might advise Ivy Films in its productions.
Such an extracurricular program would be the VAC's greatest contribution to Harvard students, Shultz said.
