There is a balance of $9539.82 in the treasury. The treasurer's report was accepted. We have
not received the annual money from MCC yet. Acceptance letters went out to grant applicants
last Friday.
Grant Business:
We are up to date with the grant process. The grant money arrives in mid to late January.
Approval letters will go out.
New Business:
-Myron will touch base with the town about keeping us updated about the artwork in town hall
and what they have decided to do with it.
-All current board members will continue on in their current positions with the exception of
Barbara, our current Chair. A meeting will be held in March to discuss Barbara carrying on in a
new roll as co-chair potentially with Zoe Perry-Wood.
-Grant sub-committee members will meet to discuss guidelines for the application process in the
spring.

th
-There will be 4-5 board members attending the March 12 gathering at the state house for the
MCC and trip the ICA after lunch.
-Board discussed how to carry on from here with raising funds for the Patron’s Fund. One idea is
to first start an artist registry so that we can create a listing of local artists in hope of creating
more of an artist’s community. During the next month board members will research websites that
might be appropriate for the registry and look into getting an estimate for a site.
-Sirarpi updated us on Art Walk, which will held in May for 2 weeks. It includes Memorial Day
weekend and Lexington’s Discovery Day.
