CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED ARTS COMMISSION MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 19, 2020 ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. in Council's Caucus Room. Present: Stephanie Procter, Sue Collander, Janelle Zauner-Hoffart, Wilma Kepperley, Jackie Chavez -Anderson, Leah Rogalski-Davis, Keith Behrendt Absent: Laura Simna Staff: Planning Director Kim Lieber, Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo -Ackerman Guest: Bryan O'Malley REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Keith moved, seconded by Wilma, to approve the Arts Commission minutes of January 15, 2020, motion passed 7-0. REPORTS OF OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES Yoga+ Jackie said the same amount of people were at the February event. She thought the vendors did well and they came well prepared for the event. Kim suggested opening the doors at 9:30 in the future and having yoga start at 10:00 since some people misunderstood the start time. She also thought having an hour of yoga with a shorter presentation may be better since people don't have patience for a long talk after yoga ends. Perfectly Imperfect will be presenting at the March 14th event and the vendors are being finalized. Mayor's Art Show Sue thought the event was excellent and loved that all of the students and teachers were smiling and enjoying the event. She suggested getting a few more panels to hang art in the future. Keeping the same theme and logo would save money. The transformation of Old Town Hall was amazing. About 30 people came to the Friday evening gallery hours and 20-25 people came to the Saturday gallery hours. Some of these people were unable to make it on the gallery opening event and others saw the promotion and wanted to check it out. Kim thought the second room can be used for more art since it was not used much, Sue thought it could be used for a small activity during the gallery hours. Consider collaborating with JoAnn DePolo for a gallery hop event next year. Wilma estimated that 75-100 people were at the gallery opening since people were coming and going throughout the event and the weather was not ideal. The viola players were a great addition to the event. Kim thought the paper invitations that were mailed to some of the key community members worked well since some school board, council members and a few others stopped by the event. Wilma thought Springvale may be an option for the art show if it grows in the future. City Hall Art Gallery Kim said the City Hall Art Gallery will temporarily stopped to prevent damage to art due to ongoing construction projects. They should wrap up in July and the commission can revisit
