Update: COVID-19 Impact on the Initial Point Gallery A. Belnap reported that the February installation of the BOSCO show was canceled because City Hall remains closed. A. Belnap has been working with Bonnie Peacher, the organizer of the BOSCO show, to transition their installation into a virtual show via social media. Throughout the month of February, A. Belnap will highlight individual artists and their artwork. The March and April shows remain to be seen. A. Belnap has been updating Jessie Swimeley, president of TVAA and the organizer of the March show. If the March show is canceled, A. Belnap will do a version of a virtual show for TVAA as well. B. Griffith suggested looking into a video loop format through iMovie or a slideshow. L. Taylor reported that Leslie Bosch from the Nampa Civic Center transitioned TVAA’s show there into a virtual show- she would be a good contact to learn how to navigate the process. N. Schofield asked if these virtual shows could be noted in the City Newsletter to let people know what we are doing. A. Belnap will look into it. DISCUSSION ITEMS 3. Review and Finalize Initial Point Gallery Brochure This agenda item is postponed until next meeting. 4. Discuss Artists to Complete 2021 Gallery Schedule The Subcommittee noted that there is still an open space in the gallery calendar in August 2021 for ¼ gallery. In the past, the Subcommittee has discussed The Great American Paint In and B. Griffith recommended an encaustic artist to fill in the space. Even though The Great American Paint In has not responded to the Subcommittee’s inquiries, B. Griffith suggested that the Gallery would be able to accommodate them at any time by designating the credenza as the presentation space. All that is needed is three easels for the physical artwork and room for a small television for the slideshow. The Subcommittee agreed- whenever the Great American Paint In informs the Subcommittee of their calendar, the Gallery will have space for them. The Subcommittee then reviewed Lauri Borer’s work, the encaustic artist suggested by B. Griffith. The Subcommittee approved the work and B. Griffith made motion to invite L. Borer to show in the Initial Point Gallery in August 2021, seconded by L. Taylor All ayes NEXT MEETING – TBD The Subcommittee scheduled their next meeting to be March 24, 2021 at 1:00pm. ADJOURNMENT L. Taylor made motion to adjourn, seconded by B. Griffith All ayes Meeting adjourned at 1:32pm
