Staple, M.D. Application for appointment to the Newport Beach Arts Commission I am a retired physician with a life long interest in the arts now having time to devote to civic activities. Mrs. Staple and I moved to Newport Beach three and a half years ago after living in Palos Verdes Estates for twenty-one years. We regard this community as our permanent home and want to contribute to it in areas with which we are familiar. As a newer member of the community I would present different ideas and another perspective to the commission. Shirley and I are contemporary art collectors concentrating primarily on California painters and sculptors. We were major founding donors to the Norris Theater in Palos Verdes and long time subscribers and contributors to the South Bay Chamber • Orchestra. We are subscribers to the South Coast Repertory Main Stage and Second Stage Theater Group. I was educated in music, playing the flute and attending the Young Peoples Concerts of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra while in grammar school. During four years of high school my family and I attended all the performances of the Goodman Theater of the Chicago Art hrstitute. During college I attended many professional theatrical performances in Chicago. I am the author of 100 scientific papers and have been a lecturer at many national and international meetings. I am interested in both musical and visual cutting edge Art realizing at the same time the problems and constraints of Public Art My objective will be to promote the 0 value of Art in a changing society. My experience as a docent at the Los Angeles County l Tom W. Staple, MD. 1 Application for appointment to the Newport Beach Arts Commission (cont,d) and Orange County Museums of Art are two ways of attaining this goal. Serving on the City Arts Commission will be another. E
