Item 1.
NEW BUSINESS
3. Event: Transit Shelter Public Art Unveilings: Postponed, New Date TBD
C. Schiffler explained that the public art reveals have been postponed due to a
broken panel at the 3rd and Pine location so event will be rescheduled. Channel 6
did a short video and will do another one once the reveals are rescheduled.
4. Recommend: Tammy de Weerd Awards in the Arts Awardees - Crystal Paulson,
Meridian Arts Commission and Events and Outreach Chair [ACTION ITEM]
B. Bird stated that the recommended award winners are listed in a memo that was
included in today's meeting packet.
C. Schiffler requested that the award presentation be moved from the September 7
Concerts on Broadway event to either the Community Art Party or one of the other
two Concerts on Broadway events as she is unable to attend the September 7
Concerts on Broadway event. Based on Commission Feedback the award
ceremony will take place at the Concerts on Broadway event on September 21.
P. O'Leary made motion to approve the nomination list; seconded by L. Taylor
All ayes
Commission Feedback
L. Taylor inquired about when the award winners will be notified.After the Arts
Commission approves them so tomorrow or next week.
S. Muscolo voted to have the award ceremony be moved to the Community Art
Party at a specific time so awardees do not have to be there for the full event.
S. Muscolo inquired about the dates of the other two Concerts on Broadway
events.August 24 and September 21 with September 14 being the Community Art
Party. S. Muscolo stated that either would be fine and since Concerts on Broadway
occurs in the evening it may be cooler. S. Muscolo inquired if anyone has an
opinion of having the award ceremony on August 24 versus September 21.
P. O'Leary voted to do the award ceremony during Art Week if there will be a
bigger crowd and better draw. P. O'Leary inquired as to the attendance for
Concerts on Broadway events versus the Art Party.300- 500 people for Concerts
on Broadway and the Community Art Party estimated about 600 people attend but
anticipate it being larger this year, although not all of these people would necessarily
be at the Bandshell which is where the award ceremony would be held if occurring at
the Community Art Party. P. O'Leary stated both are valuable and vital locations
and there does not seem to be that much of a difference; however, it would be
easier to get everyone's attention at Concerts on Broadway because in one
location at the same time so can go either way on it. P. O'Leary suggested picking
which concert date based on the availability of the awardees. C. Schiffler stated the
awardees do notyet know as the recommendation was just approved by the
Commission today but her preference would be the third concert to ensure all kinks
are worked out during the two previous concerts.
Item 1.
L. Taylor voted to do the award ceremony at Concerts on Broadway because these
events tend to attract a more mature audience who may be more appreciative of
awarding artists and those who support the arts; in addition, City Hall makes a
very nice backdrop for any media coverage of the awards.
C. Paulson stated she likes the idea of the Community Art Party but Commissioner
Taylor has a good point that Concerts on Broadway attends to attract a more
mature audience. C. Paulson stated that the third concert would be her preference
because it usually has the best attendance.
B. Gaytan voted to do the award ceremony at Concerts on Broadway because it is
at City Hall,has a more mature audience, and based on his experience last year, it
went really well and the Commission knows what to expect, as opposed to doing it
at the park during the Art Party where there may be unknowns.
REPORTS
S. Staff Updates: Public Art, Initial Point Gallery Call to Artists Process, Events
Cassandra Schiffler,Arts& Culture Coordinator
C. Schiffler presented the following project updates:
• West Ada School District (WASD) Traffic Boxes were approved by City
Council and the contractor for traffic box cleaning and condition reports
has begun work, so based on the report she will identify any boxes that
need to be replaced with the new WASD wraps.
• Professional Artist Traffic Boxes Call to Artists has been released so please
help spread the word that the deadline for submissions is July 5, 2024. Two
submissions so far with a third that has had trouble with formatting so
artist is trying to fix that,but anticipate more coming in as this is a very
popular program.
• Linder Overpass project is coming along and there was a preapplication
meeting on June 7 with City Staff,Ada County Highway District staff,
Planning, and the landscape architect. Proposal submissions are due July 1
and four Arts Commissioners are on the evaluation panel.
• Chateau Park project is going well and the stakeholder committee group
received the artist's final proposal so a final committee meeting is
scheduled for June 17 to give feedback on the artist's final proposal.
• Temporary Mural Public Art Project at the Community Art Party-
Commissioner Gaytan will provide an update during his Public Art
Committee update today.
• Gallery Shows - Commissioner Taylor will provide an update during her
Initial Point Gallery update today but wanted to note that the College of
Western Idaho agreed to partner with the Commission to host the "Voices
and Votes" Smithsonian Exhibit, if selected as an exhibitor, so once their
letter of support is received the application to host this exhibit will be
submitted.
• Youth Performing Arts Projects -the Treasure Valley Children's Theater
has a performance this June; written reports for the Idaho Fine Arts
Item 1.
Academy are in the packet; high school band agreements have been
executed
• Feedback and Listening Session with Idaho Commission on the Arts -
Commissioners have received invitations and so far there are 17 RSVPs.
The Idaho Commission on the Arts is a major grant organization so great
opportunity to provide them with direct feedback.
• Community Art Party- five different dance, story, and music groups in the
process of confirming attendance; Chalk Art Competition registration is
open online; the event website is constantly being updated so please visit
and provide feedback.
P. Hergenroeder reviewed the process for the Initial Point Gallery Call to Artists
with the Commission. The Call closed May 31 and score sheets from
Commissioners must be submitted by Monday, May 17 at 4:30pm. There was an
increased number of applications this year so scoring will take longer. During the
jury process scores are anonymous and comments are optional but greatly
appreciated. P. Hergenroeder will compile all received score sheets in to one
document sorted from highest to lowest average score. The Initial Point Gallery
Subcommittee will review all the applications received and scores and will select
and schedule the artists for 2025. The Selection Committee can schedule artists
two years in advance and if inadequate and/or insufficient response from
applicants, may contact artists who did not submit applications to invite them to
show in the Gallery if needed. Group shows are scheduled to take over the entire
gallery but if the group has no 3D artists then applications from 3D artists will be
reviewed to see if there is an artist who could join a group show. Individual artist
applications are grouped together based on themes, mediums, and content.
Typically artists who are selected to show in the Gallery will only be scheduled to
show again every other year; exceptions being the WASD show and the Treasure
Valley Artists Alliance show. The proposed schedule will be presented to the
Commission for approval at the next Commission meeting and then presented to
City Council for final approval. The Instagram post for the Call had the most
engagement at 1100 views and 16 shares. 42 were received applications with 8
different artist groups which is the most the Commission has ever received.
6. Updates: Initial Point Gallery: Current Exhibit: "Unplanned Experience"with
Artists Pete Grady, Tyler Crabb, Kyla Morgan (Opening: June 4, Host: Brecken
Bird); Upcoming Exhibit: "Cross Sections" Jan Freeman Long, Martha Channer,
Stephen Fisher (Opening: August 6, Host: Patrick O'Leary; Additional Artist Talk
Event: September 10 at Noon) - Lizzie Taylor, IPG Subcommittee Chair
L. Taylor shared a compliment she received from the owner of the Idaho Art
Gallery in Downtown Meridian: "I don't see how the City of Meridian could operate
without Cassandra Schiffler" and the gallery owner also noted that the current
exhibit is "utterly spectacular". L. Taylor reviewed the current exhibit and thanked
B. Bird for hosting. L. Taylor reviewed the upcoming exhibit,which is a two-month
exhibit, and noted there will be an Artist Talk on September 10. L. Taylor will
contact the Meridian Police Chief s Administrative Assistant to inquire if the Initial
Item 1.
Point Gallery poster can be placed in their staff breakrooms each month and will
coordinate poster delivery if approved.
B. Bird stated the opening reception for the current exhibit had 63 attendees,
many of whom came specifically for the Artist Talks.
7. Updates: Events and Outreach: 2024 Tammy de Weerd's Awards in the Arts
Nominations,Art Week- Crystal Paulson, Events and Outreach Subcommittee Chair
C. Paulson stated she is very excited about the 2024 Tammy de Weerd's Awards in
the Arts nominations and is excited to see the nominees' reactions.
8. Public Art Committee Updates: Review PAC Meeting-Bobby Gaytan, Public Art
Committee Chair
B. Gaytan stated the Committee discussed the following six items at their last
meeting:
• Fivemile Creek Trailhub Ribbon Cutting- successful event with the Mayor
and the artist both in attendance and each spoke at the event
• Transit Shelter Ribbon Cutting- event postponed; awaiting new event date
• Traffic box art-updates provided by C. Schiffler during this Commission
meeting but the Committee reviewed the 2024 Traffic Box Call to Artists
and discussed inviting community members who live near proposed boxes
to participate in a stakeholder meeting in late July
• Fuller Park art project currently on hold due to other priorities but new
Committee members were encouraged to visit Fuller Park and consider
possible ideas/themes for a future project
• Linder Overpass Public Art- reviewed project plan; a pre-proposal meeting
was held with City staff, project architects, and the artists. Commissioners
Gaytan and King will represent the Commission at the next meeting where
artists' proposals will be presented.
• Public Art project at the Community Art Party- suggested a live art
experience, like what is seen during TreeFort, so C. Schiffler reached out to
her local connections and an artist by the name of Jay Smith has agreed to
take on this temporary public art project during the Community Art Party
so he will attend the next Public Art Committee meeting and will share his
proposal; there is a $2500 budget for this project.
C. Schiffler noted that the pre-proposal meeting for the Linder Overpass Public Art
project was great and the artists were grateful for all the feedback; artists'
proposals are due July 1 for this project. C. Schiffler noted that the public art
project for the Community Art Party will allow for public participation.
Commission Feedback
P. O'Leary inquired about the permanency of the public art piece at the
Community Art Party. It would be nice for it remain up and be experienced at
another location but typically just a temporary piece lasting the length of the event
where it is created(Commissioner Gaytan). Temporary in nature for the event but
Item 1.
could go somewhere else at some point if a location is secured, but at this time no
permanent location for what the artist is proposing to create (C. Schiffler).
9. Final Project Reports: Idaho Fine Arts Academy Youth Performing Arts Project
(Informational Item)
Commissioners had no questions and there was no discussion.

ITSABOUTTHE PROCESS
4,
By following the steps of neurographic art, it
takes you through your emotions and transforms
difficult emotions and stress into somethingw,;` `
beautiful and healing. The process of creating
this kind of art is far more important than
how the final piece looks. As you create, your
brain is encouraged to make new neural pathways '
s
r i~#
and connections surrounding the problematic
issues you are facing in your life.
O
STEP I : ON THE BACK OFYOUR PAPER, WRITE
DOWN A CHALLENGEYOU ARE FACING .
Item 1.
STEP 2: ON THE FRONT SIDE OFYOUR PAPER BEGIN
TO INTENTIONALLY SCRIBBLE LINES.
- Begin adding in Neurographic lines across add
your page. There are only two rules for
Neurographic limes:
1- They are conscious in thought
and do not follow a repeated
pattern/design.
2. They should begin and end on
an edge of the paper. They may
run through your scribble, around it,
or over it- Deep adding in lines until
the space feels weighted, but not full.
For variety you can vary the lines making some thick and others thinner.
Item 1.

STEP 3 :
- Blow you want to integrate the lines and
shapes. This is done by rounding out
THERE SHOULD NOT BE any place where two lines meet or inter-
ANY SHARP EDGES OR sect. You will draw a !/t circle that curves
CORNERS LEFT. EVERY SHAPE toward the intersection.
SHOULD BE ROUNDED OUT. . Next, add any additional lines, shapes, or
divisions of space you feel are needed
for th a image to fee I vv.n a le.
Be sure logo bock and curve out
new intersections!

Item 7.
Meridian Community Art Party
Live Mural Proposal
We will have 4 8'x8' mural panels built into a cube and primed white,set up at Kleiner Park for artists to
perform a live painting.
We will have 3 local artists painting live for guests and attendees to watch, ask questions and interact
with.
The artists will be:
Walter Gerald: IG: @waltercgerald
Lorelle Rau: IG: @lorellerau
Macy Ratzesberger: IG: @growing_graffiti
The 4th panel will be a "coloring book" style mural which will be designed by local artist James Lloyd and
sketched by myself in a way that children and families attending the event can try their hand at painting
along, which will be taught and led by myself.
Each mural artist will be paid a $500 stipend for their time and live painting on site. This is under the
assumption that each artist will provide each of their paints and materials needed to paint for the 4 hour
event.
Artist Payment: $1500 ($500 each)
Materials and lumber: $475.35
Administrative Costs: $1000 (paid to myself)
(Administrative costs include: Planning, building, storage and transportation of the mural panels,
materials including brushes and trays (provided by me)for the community mural, organizational tasks,
labor and cleanup, and leading the community mural.)
Total Cost: $2975.35

Item 7.
The Mural walls will be arranged in a cube shape. Each wall will be supported by a frame of 2x2x8
lumber, and held together with 3.5" hinges.This will allow easy set up and take down of the walls, and
ease of transport.
Finished Panels can also be saved and displayed for public viewing if desired.
