Lexington Council for the Arts <br />Approved Meeting Minutes – May 12, 2014 at Town Offices Building – Parker Room <br />b.Questions about sub-committee of outside community members who have <br />excellence in that area, including LCA <br />Stakeholders <br />“Experts” vs. “Connectors” <br />Juried shows <br />Assistance to find items to borrow <br />Advice on items that might be purchased <br />Are you thinking of 3 shows a year, 4 months each? Or 4 shows? <br />Or one or two shows for first year? <br />Who is point person for CC? Staff person? Volunteer? <br />c.Gallery space for arts – unmet need in Lexington <br />Dining room? Hall outside? <br />Could we use Commander’s room? 1 or 2 shows a year <br />-Might help for work that is fancier or more delicate – but could put one <br />sample on first floor, saying “Exhibition continues on Second Level” to <br />create flow of traffic <br />-Uses smaller wall space (but keeps work safe) <br />We could see art in the hall outside art room that ties more closely to <br />programming – example, a preview of someone’s work if that artist was going <br />to come in and lead a workshop -- or, sample work from artist in residence… <br />Ideal to tie hall work to an Artist-in-residency program 3 ? per year <br />CC offers art workshop station / space <br />CC offers an area where artist LEAVES supplies <br />(artist can’t be required to transport things back & forth!) <br />CC offers display space for finished work, works-in-progress <br />Artist offers workshop, talk, something interactive and shows work <br />Maybe LCA can coordinate grant or stipend to help with supplies? <br />Old business – <br />LOS review: <br />Cristina sent information to Judith Cooper regarding reimbursement for reception. Zoe is <br />following up and will send information to Cristina. Check for $300.00 contribution will <br />be made out from LCA to Lexington Open Studios. <br />Signs were very good to draw new people in.Rain appeared helpful to some locations, <br />especially group showings. Some people see items, and return to purchase. Munroe was <br />busy too. April helps – but not easy to be with school vacation. <br />Patriots’ Day Parade Review: <br />Matthew Pronchick, Lynne Klemmer, Cristina Burwell, Becky Sue Epstein, all joined in <br />the contingent. 250 trading cards were given out and volunteers think that more could <br />have been given out. Nice to have larger image files for higher quality photos. Best <br />practice is to add photo credit (some people forward photos without information). We <br />should ask for the photo credit information. <br />2 <br /> <br />
