AI Summary
This concurrent resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Bennington College Visual and Performing Arts Center (VAPA), a significant facility dedicated on May 22, 1976. The resolution highlights the VAPA's origins in 1964, its design by architect Robertson Ward Jr. who was influenced by the Bauhaus School's principles of integrating various art forms, and its innovative features such as incorporating Japanese design elements and making structural systems visible. The resolution also notes the involvement of sociologist Dr. Robert Gutman in the design process and the dedication ceremony attended by First Lady Betty Ford, who had a personal connection to the college. The key provision directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of this resolution to the Bennington College VAPA, formally recognizing this milestone.
