Martin honored by Museum of Art

The Orange County Museum of Art honored Charles D. Martin, the founding

chairman of the board of trustees, with a plaque in a Friday night

ceremony at the museum.

Martin, who was a major force in the facility’s transition from the

Newport Harbor Art Museum to the Orange County Art Museum, will be

recognized for his contribution as chairman of the museum’s board. He

will receive the honor of chairman emeritus.

Having served as chairman for four years, Martin will turn over his

position to Darrel Anderson and take on the title of vice chairman for

strategic planning. He will serve as a consultant on the museum’s

long-term plans.

Martin “has done a remarkable job in terms of supporting the museum,”

said Brian Langston, a museum spokesman.

Architecture winners on display

“Architecture in Perspective 14,” an exhibit highlighting the winners of

the international competition of the same name, will be on view at the

Newport Beach Central Library through July 28.

The illustrations of the 52 winning entries and the six special award

winners make up the exhibit, which is sponsored by the American Society

of Architectural Perspectivists. The architectural renderings -- chosen

from almost 500 entries -- feature the Random House corporate

headquarters in New York, the Hall of Still Thoughts in Taiwan and the

Hotel Doha in Qatar.

The library is at 1000 Avocado Ave.
