P. O’Leary motioned to approve the minutes. T. Vannucci seconded. All ayes.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
2. Update: Art Week Planning ~ Michelle Glaze, Community Member and Volunteer
Art Week Organizer
M. Glaze has been working on Art Week scheduled and had a rough draft of events,
classes, and details. The subcommittee reviewed and discussed additional ideas
such as the Plein Air Painters, possibility of art auction event (too problematic to
coordinate and work with financial aspects), and possible literary event.
The chalk art competition was moved to Thursday evening, as L. Mauldin and M.
Glaze remembered liking the event better when it was in the evening and less hot.
Scheduling needs to be worked out for events, as well as a sign up sheet for
volunteers for each event’s duties.
Below are the main events:
Wednesday September 7: Kick Off event in Generations Plaza
19
Item 10.
Thursday September 8: Art Sip (off site and coordinated by the Meridian Art
Foundation), Initial Point Gallery Opening, and Chalk Art Competition with music
by Sam.
Friday: Community Art Party in Kleiner Park
Saturday: Concert on Broadway with High Street
Art classes will be scheduled throughout the week, including classes with the
Flower Place, Angry Easel (two classes), a class at unBound, Open Arms Dance, an
improv class with TVCT’s partner Game Changer Improv, Coffee Plant Repeat,
Happy Hour Homemaker, and 44 East. Other community events and businesses
that are doing art related activities will also be added on the schedule.
C. Schiffler presented a budget draft that will be presented to MAC for approval.
M. Glaze will send out the planning document.
3. Discuss: Potential Skatepark Event to Coincide with Art Week and Tully Skatepark
Mural Project
An idea for event to be held in conjunction with the Tully Skatepark Mural project
was discussed. The idea is for a skatepark competition event with a DJ, food truck,
and music to be held during the mural unveiling. M. Glaze wanted like to see if
money was available, and how the event could be funded for a community
member, TeeJay, that has held skatepark competitions in the past to do this event.
C. Schiffler stated that there isn’t a project budget line where this is budgeted for,
unless it was considered for one of the small scale community projects during Art
Week. However, C. Schiffler looked at timelines, and the mural will not likely be
complete in time to coincide with Art Week. Sponsorships for the event were
discussed. Due to time constraints, this discussion was tabled until the next
meeting for further discussion.
3. Discuss: Potential MAC Presence at TVCT Performance of School House Rock on
Friday, July 22 at 7PM and Saturday, July 23 at 11AM at Centennial Park
C. Schiffler received an invitation from TVCT to have a presence at their
performances in Centennial Park, though she will be out of town. TVCT is open to
any kind of presence: MAC information booth, volunteer, or other presence. L.
Mauldin suggested that we ask commissioners to attend the events.
REPORTS
4. Updates: Concerts on Broadway
Concerts are booked, audio is booked. TVCT will be the opener on August 27, and
L. Mauldin has reached out to two young violinists to be openers on the other
dates.
NEXT MEETING - JULY 21, 2022
C. Schiffler will be out of town during the next regularly scheduled meeting, July 21.
The meeting could be moved, cancelled, or other City staff could be asked to attend. There
will be a new hire, an Arts and Culture intern starting July 11 (ending September 30), and C.
Schiffler believed that the new intern could be present for the Events and Outreach.
