r <br />?? • -. <br />Great Northern Mall Collaboration <br />Following the mention of potential new events in 2017, the conversation shifted into a discussion <br />regarding a potential collaboration with Great Northern Mall as an event space for future events. <br />James shared the Mall's schedule of progranmiing in early October for their Better Block <br />project. Jeff stated his preference for this partnership based on his experience at the August <br />workshop. He listed the advantages of having a dedicated indoor space with flexible uses and <br />secured locations for multi-day events, specifically listed the Sears Wing as a potential area for <br />hosting productions and other related events. Lauren and Bill concurred, stating that a <br />partnership with the mall could lead to a myriad of new opportunities for the Commission. <br />Aimie said that the mall's new initiative is an effective way to open up to the community, since <br />right now she avoids the mall whenever possible. Bill agreed, adding that the Commission could <br />be the change agent that helps attract a wider audience than what the mall already brings in. <br />James reminded the group that the Commission is encouraged to seek out new event spaces, such <br />as the mall, but it must always remain open to other opportunities in the interest of fairness to <br />community residents. He will reach out to the mall to gauge their interest for 2017 events. Bill <br />concurred, stating that the Commission must be mindful of whose mission is being advanced <br />when partnering with the mall for events, programming, etc. Stemming from that thought, he <br />suggested that the Commission should begin to hone in on what "types" of art they wish to <br />promote and re-establish a vision going forward based on that determination. It was agreed upon <br />as a discussion item for a later meeting. <br />Somewhere - Musical bv the Dover Players <br />Jeff encouraged members to attend an upcoming production put on by the Dover Players.
