Will send it around electronically for review. Membership dues - should we have a “friend of the arts” type membership? What about inviting them to our every other month social/evening event; offer workshops just for members; artist presentations, etc. Bumper stickers - (Todd will send new graphic) How do we present this: PR, social event, fall would be best - connect to an event? Most seemed to feel a $25 arts supporter membership level would be good. Consider at next meeting. Ashley - local, low income folks in need of art events - Mark - this is worthy of discussion at a future time (at one of the evening discussion meetings) Evening getogether - Aug 21 7 pm at Bluseed - maybe involve more people since it will follow the "Meet the Artists" reception for the Plein Air Festival. Next one - Oct 21 - Susan is contacting Hannah Hanford to see if she would be willing to talk to us about her experiences developing an arts community in Virginia. Studio Tour - would ArtWorks like to take it over? Yes - post a notice in Noris for a coordinator, email artists, figure out finances; it would be a mistake to let it drop; Burdette offered to help with design work. Consensus was that ArtWorks should keep the Studio Tour going. Fall Marketing - Ernest Hohmeyer - plans, wording - “Arts Capital” or arts destination? We should meet with him (Sandy has contacted him about a possible meeting with Mark, Todd, Bob and Tim) He has a meeting tentatively scheduled for Wed. Sept 1, 6 pm, in the Library - but that's too long to wait. Todd - we need a “reviewer”/critic to help promote the area. (Sandy has contacted Linda Peckel from the Albany Art Examiner - she is coming up for the Plein Air Festival). Anything else? Next meeting: Sept 14, 8 am , Artists' Guild |
