Rachel Yurkovich proposed <br />a two or three month display of photography. Members were concerned that City Hall might not <br />be the best display venue for the subject matter, which would be well suited to a private gallery. <br />The Commission felt City Hall art should generally be welcoming, while the proposed exhibit <br />would explore the duality between images that are attractive and at the same time repulsive. The <br />Commission unanimously denied the art gallery application of Rachel Yurkovich.. <br />Summer in the City <br />Bill is handling on site logistics for the Sunday, June 22 event with the band and food vendors. <br />He has met and/or talked with all about their set up needs. He will be arriving Sunday at <br />12:30pm with the band.arriving as early as 1:00pm. JoAnn said five to seven artists will be on <br />site painting during the concert; those works will then be on display in her gallery on August 20. <br />She will use city pop up tents for her studio/gallery information. Bill agreed to emcee the event, <br />with notes provided by Kim. Lauren will devise a fun way to distribute a few t-shirts to the <br />crowd. Lauren will also set up a Facebook event that can be used to invite friends and more <br />magnets and cards will be distributed at the event. <br />City Bicentennial <br />The group reviewed the draft Bicentennial logo and offered input to a very patient Lauren, who <br />made a few changes and presented the final image, to tfie accolades of all. The logo, now <br />complete, will be used in the near future in the outreach piece for fundraising and on the <br />Celebrate North Olmsted Facebook page. Kim provided the group other updates regarding <br />progress with fireworks; a meeting with Metroparlcs regarding the trailhead, expansion of <br />Summer in the City to include movies in the park in 2015, and more. Much of the current efforts <br />are still in the laying the groundwork phase of planning.
