Martindale called the meeting to order at 6:50 pm. <br />PRESENT: Members; B. Martindale, B. Brown, G. Yustick, J. Kepperley, D. Wahl. <br />ABSENT: Members; F. Curry, and R. Garland <br />ALSO PRESENT: Mr. Chris Glassburn with the Board of Education. <br />Mr. Glassburn indicated that although there were no openings on the commission the Board of <br />education would still lilce a member of the board to attend the Cultural Activities Commission <br />meetings to keep abreast of cultural activities taking place within the community. The <br />commission welcomed Mr. Glassburn and encouraged him to continue to attend and talce part <br />in the commission. <br />H. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: <br />J. Kepperley motion to approve the February 1, 2006 Cultural Activities Commission minutes <br />as written. D. Wahl seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. <br />III. NEW BUSINESS: <br />2006 ART SHOW: <br />Mr. Yusticlc reviewed that all the art show applications were mailed out and the only thing left <br />to do now is create the acceptance paclcages and denial letters. That will be sent out after the <br />April 30`h deadline. Mrs. Martindale questioned what would constitute a denial letter. Mr. <br />Yustick suggested that work would only be denied if it is obscene or just really bad. The <br />judges of the applications will be Mr. Yusticlc and Mrs. Brown. The maximum number of <br />applicants that will be accepted is 90 and the minimum required to have the show will be 50 <br />artists. Mr. Kepperley felt that the Kiwanis Club would be willing to accept less than 50 artists <br />as long as the total entries covered all coasts incurred to hold the show to get the event going. <br />Each $150.00 entry will allot artists a 15' x 15' tent space to show/sale their work. <br />Mr. Kepperley reviewed that he was questioned as to what type of security there would be <br />throughout the night. He thought that the artists should be advised to not leave their work <br />overnight. He thinlcs that there are parlc rangers that will drive through the area during the <br />evening but no one posted. Frostville curator advised him that neither the Commission nor the <br />museum would be responsible for items left overnight. Furthermore overnight camping is not <br />permitted in the metroparks. Although the High School band is unable to attend due to their <br />busy schedule he would like to arrange something with local musical artists to provide <br />baclcground music. He suggested a tent be provided for the musical ensembles during the <br />event. The commission would like to create a program guide for visitors so they can navigate <br />through the featured artists at the show. A discussion of having ads in the programs for the <br />next art show to increase money raised was discussed. <br />1
