New Business:
??Barbara recently attended the MCC meeting in Concord about the LAC budgets etc..
They expect MCC to carry on, but also expect approx. a 8-10% budget cut.
??Zoe is taking steps to get two poster made for the Lexington Council for the Arts. They
needed a correction first. Zoe will have Mary submit a request to the town to write us a
check for it but she’ll pay with her credit card first. They are $56 each plus shipping
??Our website committee needs to have a meeting about the next steps to cover the basics
with our website through the town’s site. We need to develop some content to move
forward with. Sirarpi will cancel the domain name Lexington Art Councils that we have
had reserved.
??The Town Hall art update is that Candy will keep us in the decision making loop. Any
decisions are on hold until the DPW moves from Town Hall into their new building on
Bedford Street once DPW building construction is completed. We will discuss this as a
committee next summer.
??Discussion about the future of the Paton’s Fund. Sirarpi suggested getting a FaceBook
group together of Lexington artists so that we can have a network of artists to contact
when making future plans for the Paton’s Fund.
