Minutes from November 12, 2020 Meeting T. Vannucci made motion to approve minutes, seconded by J. Cavaness-Williams All ayes DISCUSSION ITEMS 2. Discussion: Concerts on Broadway Band Needed on September 25 A. Belnap informed the Subcommittee that the Diamond Empire Band had a scheduling conflict and had to cancel their performance in the Concert on Broadway series on September 25. The commissioners suggested inviting a cultural group to perform on the September 25 such as a First Nation group, Basque, or mariachi band. The Subcommittee offered to let the Diversity Subcommittee find an appropriate group to invite to the Concert on Broadway series. 3. Discussion: Renee White Gives Feedback on 2021 Event Ideas  Unplug & Be Outside o R. White suggested that an activity that could fit for Unplug and Be Outside would be to find arts-specific activities that could be offered ex: a line dancing class, tai-chi, or Basque singers/dancers  4th of July o The Barbershop Quartet could be a fun addition to the Independence Day Festival  Movie Nights o R. White said a sing a long movie would be possible, it would just take some navigating with the licensing. We would also have to determine the best one for families, or do a mashup of sing along clips  Gene Kleiner Day o The Subcommittee’s original idea was an intercultural activity involving dance and music and R. White suggested that something related to Gene Kleiner would be best. Perhaps music from where he immigrated from.  Block Party o R. White though that a public participation activity, such as an artist designed chalk art to be colored in by passers by would be a delightful, perfect addition  Trunk or Treat o R. White described Trunk or Treat as an event that is wholly consumed by the attendee’s search for candy. Any performances or judging contests would be difficult to get attention for. Instead, R. White suggested an installation or sculpture for the scarecrow stroll A. Belnap will price check these ideas and update the Commission with the year’s possibilities as their next meeting. REPORTS 4. Update: Dickens Caroler Costumes L. Mauldin informed the Commissioners that renting costumes from Sun Valley is very difficult and she was advised to start from scratch in the creation of costumes rather than trying to adjust or alter rented costumes. 5. Update: Ornament Drop Activity The Ornament Drop will be the weekend of December 12-13 and Commissioners are encouraged to participate. L. Mauldin recommended that the commissioner note who they are on the art they drop off so that the community knows who they are. NEXT MEETING - January 14, 2020 ADJOURNMENT J. Cavaness-Williams made motion to adjourn, seconded by T. Vannucci All ayes
