The following bold, underlined words have been selected as our 'official' ArtWorks marketing words.... Mission Statement - Promoting and nurturing the arts in the community of Saranac Lake. Action Statement – We encourage cooperative ventures of artists, businesses, and organizations by encouraging the creative processes. Tagline - Experience, Experience Art, Experience the Thrill, Experience Art Here, Experience Creativity, Art works in Saranac Lake Vision -  many components – could have sub committees actually work on developing action plans for these things. Peter – vision is a greater thing than a list of tasks, i.e., educate the public about the arts, or make SL an arts destination. Ad Design Committee Press packet – Todd willing to put one together once we solidify mission, tagline, etc. Address in advertising? Susan’s address – add to rack card too, at least phone number - we need a physical address so visitors have someplace to go to pick up materials or learn more about ArtWorks (and Borealis is a prime location with regular business hours). Rack card – ads – “Saranac Lake” – upper and lower case. Correct mission statement Meetings: every month, business, every other month social- Evening meetings: scheduled or as needed? Art discussions, sharing, etc., serious critiques Value of getting together, topics arise depending upon who attends Regular date & time? Private artworks meetings in each others homes Peter – public critique/discussion events at places like the Cantwell Room Carol – December ArtWorks event @ Bluseed? Need to let Carol know Bob – would like to invite group to a play Next Business Meeting Tues. May 11 - 8:00 at the Artists' Guild - NOTE: 8 AM not 8:30 - more time to get through business.
