C ommissions
Stuart Weiser presented on behalf of the ICA. He said that the
ICA is also at the end of their 5-year strategic plan and that they
will be setting up meetings with communities throughout the
state to ask them, “What do you need from the ICA in order to be
successful?” He will follow up with MAC when the ICA starts their
outreach. One item that Stuart encouraged MAC to consider as
they create their next five-year plan is to be inclusive and mindful
to ADA, Section 504 compliance, and creative aging services in
all of our programming to ensure that we are making the arts
accessible to all. Stuart also suggested that MAC add a column
to our strategic plan to address the status of each item. The ICA
has grants for technical assistance that MAC could apply for in
regards to their strategic planning process, board development
training, financial management training, etc. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda January 10, 2019 – Page 5 of 53

MERIDIAN ARTS COMMITTEE MINUTES OCTOBER 4, 2018 PAGE 1
STRATEGIC PLAN COMMITTEE MEETING DRAFTED MINUTES
Thursday, October 4, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
City Council Conference Room – Meridian City Hall
33 East Broadway Ave., Meridian, Idaho
1. Roll Call 10:00 a.m.
Leslie Mauldin, Chair Jennifer Sullivan, DMA
Gina Lyon, Vice Chair
2. Strategic Plan Review – Reviewing Comments from Commissioners
Leslie and Jennifer started reviewing the comments one-by-one.
There is an opportunity to add another Strategy to item I.A. which would
add interagency public partnerships (ACHD, ITC, etc.).
There is a need to have either a joint meeting or at least to invite MDC’s
administrator to a public art committee meeting and possibly also to a
strategic plan committee meeting.
Hillary will reach out to Brenda to learn more about how developers are
found or stakeholders are gathered, possibly to address the lot at the
northwest corner of the Meridian interchange.
Item I.B.1 & 2 can be combined and modified to cover our MAPS
Ordinance. Item I.B.2 would essentially the same, to educate elected
leaders and the public about the benefits of the Meridian Art in Public
Spaces Program, but the action items will need to be addressed.
3. Concerts on Broadway
Hillary reviewed input from the survey. The survey only had 33 respondents.
Demographic aim (18 -50) was younger than our typical attendance at
COB (average age around 40-70).
People largely only selected Thursday – Saturday for events to be held.
Most people selected a 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM start time.
Most people selected a weekly frequency (42%), with Monthly (like first
Thursday) having 39%.
Most people selected between $1000-4000 to pay musicians.
Additional comments included:
o I would stay downtown one night a month after work if the band
was good, there was shade and I could buy a refreshing adult
beverage. I would not drive back to downtown on a weeknight so
the Alive After Five or First Thursday format of beginning the event
at 5 pm is best for me. My weekends are pretty full.
To develop, advance and nurture all facets of the arts
to enhance the quality of life for Meridian residents and its visitors
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 13, 2018 – Page 15 of 49
MERIDIAN ARTS COMMITTEE MINUTES OCTOBER 4, 2018 PAGE 2
o Lowering the budget for paid musicians is a bad idea. We want the
quality performers and we want to make sure musicians get paid.
o The more activity the better
o I'd prefer upbeat music, suitable for dancing!
o I'm glad you're gathering feedback. I'm not convinced a weekly
concert series will bring people downtown.
o More variety. Singer/songwriter, classic rock, alternative
o Cannot answer age until you describe the type of music! She
depends on classical, rock and roll,rock, jazz, etc
o Depends on type of music for age group.
o Some Opera, showtunes would be fantastic.

2. Meridian Art Week 2018
Bonnie and Stephanie caught Randy-B up on their last discussions and asked for
any of his input from last Art Week. Randy-B was satisfied with last Art Week, but
would like to continue to include music opportunities. We could reach out to
Flatbread and Deja Brew and ask them to host small musical groups during the
week.
3. Meridian Art Week 2019
Committee talked about holding the event Tuesday – Sunday of September 2019
(the 3rd – 8th). They would like to include more music, hands on art opportunities,
and feature other forms of art to be more comprehensive. We would like to have
an artists market near the center of Old Town. Hillary is to ask about closing Main
Street between Idaho and Pine on that Saturday. Literary component can include
poetry slams (21+ ok), inviting Story Story Night, or working with Meridian Library
District’s writer of the year for a book reading/signing/etc. Randy-B and
Stephanie can help with finding musicians to invite that can perform throughout
the market. Bonnie suggested that we set up an evening contest (nocturne) for
plein air painters. The committee suggested that we reach out to Sonya Rosario
for a film screening or workshop. Possibly, we could invite Directors Cut to host a
one day (short) workshop on making movies for kids. We can also invite the
Alexa Rose Foundation and some of their past recipients to host a workshop on
grant applications and artists’ professional development. Other art education
ideas include: invite Meg Glascow to host a short clif notes version of her
marketing workshop, hopefully inspiring some artists to take her full course the
next time it is offered; invite Idaho Commission on the Arts staff to present; invite
someone from the music industry (producers, booking agents, etc.) to offer a
workshop; inviting a group like the Boise Blues Society to offer a song writing
workshop. As far as Art Drop goes, the committee would like Hillary to talk to
the Mayor about expanding Art Drop to all of Meridian. The hope would be that
this would encourage more sharing and less ‘fishing’/’scave nging’ for art.

MERIDIAN ARTS COMMISSION 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 1
2018 ANNUAL REPORT
It was another good year for the Meridian Arts Commission! The Commission is comprised of
nine volunteer commissioners: Jessica Peters, Jennifer Sullivan, Bonnie Zahn Griffith, Leslie
Mauldin, Stephanie Barnes, Jay Wilson, Gretchen Caserotti, Randy-B Funk (Youth), and an ex-
officio City Council member. Genesis Milam served with MAC through October and Joe Borton
has picked up since Council’s reassignments. MAC’s mission is to develop, advance and nurture all
facets of the arts to enhance the quality of life for Meridian residents and its visitors. MAC’s
achievements in 2018 included:
The Arts Commission continues to evolve! It was a tough year for MAC as Mary Jensen,
Ellen DeAngelis, and Claudia Weathermon Tester all chose not to reapply for their seats in
February. Because of this, MAC gained three new commissioners this year: Jessica Peters,
Jennifer Sullivan, and Jay Wilson. Each of these new members brings their own strengths to the
commission. Adding three new people to a commission simultaneously could be challenging,
but each of these commissioners jumped in and quickly got involved. Gina Lyon left the
commission in order to devote more time towards becoming a certified teacher. We hope to
fill her seat soon. Michelle Glaze, another former commissioner, has stayed involved with
Meridian Art Week. We were able to send two commissioners, Leslie and Jennifer, to the
NOWPAC conference in Moscow, ID in September. This conference is hosted every other
year in a different state in the Northwest. We try to take advantage of the opportunities when
conferences for professional development are in-state, or nearby. This conference specifically
addresses how municipalities address public art installations, partnerships, artists’ agreements,
artwork accession/deaccession/maintenance, community participation in the arts, etc.
Expenses: 1,094.71
Another year of shows in Initial Point Gallery featuring the work of Treasure
Valley artists! Our volunteers make this gallery work. We are so grateful for their expertise
and for the time that they devote to IPG. Our gallery volunteers have put in over 100 hours
towards maintaining Initial Point Gallery in 2018. Together with volunteers, commissioners,
and Hillary (and some other staff) we managed to fill the gallery for another year. The 3D
display cases were used every month except for July and August since the gallery is the backup
venue for Concerts on Broadway shows. Still utilizing A.J. Scales’ credenza as our primary
storage (although Legal and HR have been very kind to us letting us use their carts and space
from time to time).
FY18 Revenue through IPG: $954; Expenses: $649.54
Young Musicians’ and Young Artists’ awards! MAC partnered with the Meridian
Symphony Orchestra to award a combined $500 to young musicians to celebrate their
achievements and participation in MSO’s Rising Stars. MAC also continued to partner with the
Meridian School District to select young artists whose work was awarded monetary
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 13, 2018 – Page 40 of 49
MERIDIAN ARTS COMMISSION 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 2
prizes/stipends for allowing us to use their work on traffic box wraps and to recognize one 3D
artist.
Expenses: $750
Another excellent year of Concerts on Broadway! This year’s free outdoor concert
series featured Avenue B, Soul Patch, the “All New” High Street Party Band, and Geoffrey
Castle and his Celtic Night Band featuring Dan Connolly. Opening acts included youth
musicians from the Meridian Symphony Orchestra and Axial Music and young performers from
Treasure Valley Children’s Theater. On two occasions our committed food truck couldn’t
make it to a concert because of mechanical issues. MAC continued our partnership with
WineGlass Arts Development for their production management and technical services to
make this year’s concerts a success!
Sponsorships brought in through WineGlass and MDC Contribution; Expenses from City:
$10,000; Total cost of the series was over $22,000
Meridian Art Week! MAC partnered with the Meridian Downtown Business Association to
host Meridian’s third annual Art Week. Michelle Glaze, again, recruited and communicated
with most of the businesses who participated this year. We had a total of 22
organizations/artists who participated in events for Art Week this year, not including the
individual schools and student teams who came out for the chalk art competition. We had 2
high school teams participate in our chalk art competition this year, but we opened the
competition and participation up to the public and had a great turn out and level of
engagement from the community. After talking with high school teachers, we realized that by
changing the chalk art competition to a Friday, we eliminated the possibility of having any
participants who are also involved in football games. Next year, we will work more closely
with the teachers to ensure that the timing will work, but we will continue to keep the
competition open to the public.
MDBA supported awards for artists: $175; Expenses: $2,551.09
Public Art at Heroes Park! “Journey of Heroes” was installed in late December 2017, but
we did the ribbon cutting in March 2018. All of our local heroes featured were able to come
out to the event and address the crowd. Shelly and the Parks Department organized the
ribbon cutting and it went very well.
Meridian Mill Mural! “Far & Wide” was dedicated on June 18, 2018. While it wasn’t much of
an unveiling (because the mural is too large to cover). The Meridian Mill Mural Project was an
example of a partnership between the City, MDC, and a private business. The entire mural was
paid for by the Meridian Development Corp. Since this installation, Meridian has seen a
number of private businesses contracting with the same artists who created “Far & Wide,”
including Paylocity and the Children’s Museum of Idaho.
Park Identities Public Art Roster in Use! The Parks Department has continued to work
with the artists selected for the park identities public art roster to help plan for signage and
developing the identity of new parks. We see this roster as a success as it provides another
tool for the Parks Department so they can more easily work with creative vendors.

MERIDIAN ARTS COMMISSION 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 3
Installation of more Traffic Box Art! Seven boxes were wrapped in 2018. We did not
partner with MDC for traffic box wraps in the URA this year because our vendor wasn’t able
to wrap on the small white boxes that remained unwrapped. The total number of completed
wraps throughout the City is now up to 48. MAC’s original plan for traffic box wraps was five
per year, but we’ve been able to exceed that with the help of sponsorships.
Expenses: $4,898
Public Art Digital Map! This map was completed last year but Matt Hoffman continues to
add points for us upon request. This year, and moving forward, each piece on the map has a
narrative either about the artist or the piece. You can access the map through the menu on
our www.meridiancity.org/mac page.
Children’s theater partnership with Treasure Valley Children’s Theater! Partnering
with a local youth theater is a key component in MAC’s strategic plan. Programs produced
with our help this year include: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Willy Wonka Jr., Seussical Jr.
(hosted on Meridian City Hall’s plaza), Sarah Plain and Tall; a free, educational production for
young audiences. At the end of this year, TVCT also secured a lease on their future home. This
building can house the theater company for the next three years (or more, if needed). They
move in this upcoming January. Check out their Facebook or website for more information.
Net investment in FY17: $5,000
Budget summary: $27,454 received in donations or contributions; $68,876.25 spent on
public art; $30,319.27 spent on programming.
THANK YOU MAYOR DE WEERD AND CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THE MERIDIAN ARTS COMMISSION!
