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.

Minutes from Initial Point Gallery Subcommittee Meeting on October 28, 2020 L. Taylor made motion to approve minutes, seconded by B. Griffith All ayes REPORTS 2. Update: COVID-19 Impact on the Initial Point Gallery A. Belnap reported that due to COVID-19, Meridian City Hall is closed to the public. The current show with the Pastel Society is cut short and the installation of the Idaho Commission of the Arts MAP show is postponed. A. Belnap has already communicated with both groups. John McMahon from ICA responded that if the December show gets postponed too far, then they will have to cancel the show. B. Griffith asked if some of the artists from the Pastel Society can leave their art up through December, just to have art on the wall. A. Belnap affirmed. DISCUSSION ITEMS 3. Review and Finalize Initial Point Gallery Brochure 2 Item 1. The Subcommittee reviewed the drafted brochure that A. Belnap created and gave feedback regarding coloring, addition information, and editing of photographs. A. Belnap will make the suggested changes and bring back the finished brochure at next meeting. 4. Deliberate Deadline for Accepting Artists' Applications for 2022 Gallery Shows The Subcommittee considered the deadline for accepting artist applications and the selection panel meeting for the Initial Point Gallery next year. It is the preference of the Subcommittee to meet in the summertime to give the artists plenty of time to prepare for their show. After reviewing subcommittee member’s availability, the Subcommittee determined that the date for the selection panel meeting will be May 26, 2021 and the deadline for receiving applications will be May 16, 2021. ACTION ITEMS 5. Discuss the Details of the Great American Paint In Show and Determine whether to Include in 2021 Gallery Schedule B. Griffith described the information she found regarding the national show, Great American Paint In. According to B. Griffith’s research, very minimal cost or effort will be required of the Subcommittee and the City to host this show, most of the materials will be provided by the Great American Paint In organizers. The Subcommittee agreed that if the schedule works well with the Great American Paint In, the Initial Point Gallery will host the show in August 2021. A. Belnap will arrange details and contract the show, if possible.
