Review and Finalize Initial Point Gallery Brochure The Subcommittee reviewed the drafted brochure that A. Belnap created and gave feedback regarding coloring, addition information, and editing of photographs. A.

Deliberate Deadline for Accepting Artists' Applications for 2022 Gallery Shows The Subcommittee considered the deadline for accepting artist applications and the selection panel meeting for the Initial Point Gallery next year. It is the preference of the Subcommittee to meet in the summertime to give the artists plenty of time to prepare for their show. After reviewing subcommittee member’s availability, the Subcommittee determined that the date for the selection panel meeting will be May 26, 2021 and the deadline for receiving applications will be May 16, 2021. ACTION ITEMS 5. Discuss the Details of the Great American Paint In Show and Determine whether to Include in 2021 Gallery Schedule B. Griffith described the information she found regarding the national show, Great American Paint In. According to B. Griffith’s research, very minimal cost or effort will be required of the Subcommittee and the City to host this show, most of the materials will be provided by the Great American Paint In organizers. The Subcommittee agreed that if the schedule works well with the Great American Paint In, the Initial Point Gallery will host the show in August 2021. A. Belnap will arrange details and contract the show, if possible.
