VISART EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Gina Stewart thinks it’s time to update the website. When we chat one afternoon in March, I ask her about the 30,000 titles claimed on the video rental store’s page, and she laughs. “It’s closer to 50,000 with all the donations we’ve had lately,” she says. “We’re the largest collection of film and video on the East Coast, bar none. And we’re continuing to find all of these rare titles, some that we lost along the way—others we never even had in the past.”
