Online Social Media Policy For Arkansas River Valley Arts Center

                     The part that I find the most interesting is where they say "
Respect Confidentiality
All questions of confidentiality should be directed to the Arts Center’s executive director."
 
What embarrassing information are they afraid of leaking out? The fact that they are a Cooperative Gallery that is posing as a Nonprofit.
