1. Roll Call
X Bonnie Zahn Griffith__

2. Review Artist Submission Form
L. Taylor recommended adding details in regards to amount of wall space.
When an artist applies for ¼ or ½ gallery, there should be detail noting that
¼ gallery is equal to 25 linear feet of space and ½ gallery is equal to 50
linear feet of space.
B. Zahn Griffith suggested a comment to note that the selection committee
reserves the right to assign a certain amount of space to the artist
regardless of what they marked on their application.
A. Belnap asked for the Subcommittee’s opinion on having artists note
which months they are available. L. Taylor recommended asking which
month artists are not available rather than the opposite.
