If you have questions about the June meeting, please contact Eric at 930-2513 or eric.lashley@georgetown.org We have gained two new Board members since the May meeting. As most of you know, Mandy Solin will be going off to Yale to work on her MBA, so she resigned a few days after our last meeting. Betty Jukes resigned on June 6 due to the fact that she will be gone most of the summer. The Mayor and the City Secretary worked quickly to select two people to fill these Board positions. Amanda Still is replacing Mandy and Liz Stewart is replacing Betty. Their appointments are on the June 14 City Council agenda and Eric and I expect there will be no problem with them being approved. I'm including an updated roster with this packet that reflects our new members. Eric has arranged for a tour of the Police Station. We will meet in the library classroom and go over there as a group. Chief Nero is giving the tour and it will begin promptly at 4:45, so please plan to arrive at the library no later than 4:30. Amanda and Liz, one of the main issues the Board has been discussing for the past nine or ten months is the possibility that the old Police Station will become an Art Center after 2014, when the new public safety facility comes on line. The Board has developed a plan for what they believe should be the primary functions of the Art Center, but most of us have never seen the inside of the building. The building is historic, so while very little may be done to the exterior, the interior may be changed. This tour is simply to familiarize everyone with the interior so that future discussions can be more focused. • When we return to our meeting room, the Assistant City Attorney will join us to present the changes to the Board's bylaws. E To: Amanda Still and Liz Stewart From: Judy Fabry, Library Administrative Assistant and Staff Liaison to the Arts & Culture Board Date: June 9, 2011 Re: Agenda packets for the Arts and Culture Board meetings The Arts and Culture Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m., in one of the library meeting rooms. Usually you will receive your agenda packet about four days before the meeting, but I'm sending them early this month because I'll be on vacation next week. This month have sent you your agenda packet electronically, by email, and I'm also mailing a hard copy packet. If you prefer one format or the other, please let me know. Most of the board members are happy with the electronic version, but I still mail the hard copy to one board member, so don't be bashful if you'd prefer the hard copy. • Eric Lashley, the library director, and I share the duties of staff liaison to the Arts and Culture Board. If you ever have questions about what the Board is doing, please feel free to contact either of us by phone or email. I'm generally more available than Eric is if you need a quick answer. If you'd like to speak to him, leave a voice message on his phone. Our phone numbers and email addresses are at the bottom of the roster that's included with this packet. Please don't expect to understand all of what goes on at the Board meetings immediately. The learning curve is steep because this board, which has only been in existence for six years, is still trying to figure out what the City Council wants it to do. To help you understand the breadth of the work the board could possibly undertake, I'm including a copy of the Ordinance that established the board. And, if you're really interested, the minutes of all of the past meetings are available on the City's website at hftp://www.georgetown.org/agendas/neoagendas.php'?which=arts. We are happy to have board members who are interested in the visual arts, the performing arts, and the history and cultural diversity of Georgetown. Several of the board members also serve on the boards of local arts nonprofits. The one thing everyone does, though, is to leave those other hats at the door of the Arts and Culture Board meetings. The Board represents the citizens of Georgetown, not specific organizations. I look forward to meeting you on June 21. Eric will be at the June 14 Council meeting to present the Board's recommendations of grants to give to local arts nonprofits, so you may get to meet him then. 0 • 0 2011 Applicationfor Board Commission i` • f i1 Step 1: Fill out this Application.

From the wall-recelved Georgetown Palace Theatre productions, to the art and cultural forums offered by the Georgetown Public Library and First Fridays, to the prestigious liberal arts college that is Southwestern University; our community is home to creative, talented artists and passionate participants in the arts. It is clear to me that the City of Georgetown has done well in creating such an environment in which art appreciation can thrive, and I would like to be a part of this in the future. I hold a degree in interior design with a minor in art, and I have practiced design in the greater Austin area for over 10 years. I have also served in several positions on the • board for the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). I am currently on the Advisory Board of the Friends of the Sarofim School of Fine Arts at Southwestern University. As a member of the Friends, I have had the privilege of attending productions, lectures, and exhibits showcasing the remarkable talent of the students and faculty of the university. Through my involvement with Southwestern, I have witnessed how this sharing of cultural and artistic experiences fosters community relationships and enthusiasm for life. With this in mind, I have decided to expand my interior design business to include an art studio, art gallery and custom picture framing studio. My long term vision for this business endeavor is to create a self-sustaining artist community and liberal arts forum. As a member of the Georgetown Arts and Culture Board, 1 would be able to help facilitate artistic exposure and expansion within our community. I plan to continue to work cooperatively with Southwestern University to integrate student work and achievement into Georgetown's cultural fabric. Through this relationship with Southwestern and my creative profession of marketing art and culture, I would offer the board a unique perspective on building community relationships through artistic expression.

By Michelle Skeen 981-3340 In many ways, downtown Roanoke is a mix of the business and arts communities. During the lunch hour, professionals in suits and ties mingle with vendors on the market selling homemade jewelry and original photographs. Susan Jennings, Roanoke's arts and culture coordinator, says the arts have an even greater impact on the business community that involves recruiting tourists, employees and employers themselves to the region. The Roanoke Arts Commission, a 15-member, city council -appointed body, has been working with Jennings, the city and the public to create an arts and culture plan that has goals of supporting local artists and organizations and expanding the public arts program. Jennings talked recently about the role arts and culture play in Roanoke and what plans the commission has for the future. • How do the arts affect the business community? We see nationally that the communities that invest in the arts see benefits through lots of ways: economic growth, jobs, quality of life. That positions those areas to compete not just on a national but on a global basis. We're seeing with the economic development partnership and the chamber here, they more frequently use arts and culture organizations ... as one of the tools they use when they recruit businesses to the area. Same with the convention and visitors bureau here -- they definitely use arts and culture ... when they want to draw tourists to the area. So you have the impact of businesses locating here, of tourists wanting to come here to visit and also individuals looking for places to live, because these days so much work can be done from the home or online that very often people look for where they want to live before they look for a job.... Arts and culture isn't the only factor or even the most important factor that drives a business or individual to locate in an area, but I think we are seeing more and more that it is becoming a very important part of the mix of giving that quality of life that businesses want to see for their employees and individuals want to see when they locate somewhere. How do you measure the impact of the arts on a community? •It's definitely hard to measure. There have been a lot of national surveys. Americans for the Arts is renowned for collecting economic impact figures, and there have been several studies that have been done on public art and what kind of impact that has on the community. of 3 8/ 18/2011 11:47 AM Arts, culture can draw businesses to area - Roanoke.com http://www.roanoke.com/business/wb/293791 So much of it is not measurable. But if you look at cities where people want to go visit -- for instance, my husband and I are planning our first visit to Chicago in September, and the main reason we want to go is • because of the arts and cultural events, the theater district, the great Millennium Park with the bean, the most famous public art sculpture in the world. But it's hard to measure except for anecdotally in a lot of cases. But Americans for the Arts does do economic impact studies ... and the impact is in the hundreds of billions. So there are some things that can be measured. Locally, the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge has done local economic impact studies to show the impact that the local organizations are having on the region. How can Roanoke continue to strengthen its arts community? That really falls right in with what the Roanoke Arts Commission and the planning department and I have been working on for the last year, developing Roanoke city's first arts and cultural plan. What we've looked at is: How can the city help sustain arts and cultural organizations and, in turn, how can those organizations help the city with its goals of revitalization, economic development and increased tourism? The city already supports arts and cultural organizations financially to a great extent, but we are seeing there are a lot of other things we can do. It can be technical assistance workshops, helping with volunteer recruitment, helping with marketing. Maybe there are some ordinance changes we can make that will make it easier for individual artists to do some of the events that they do from the ground up. I think everybody thinks back to busking on the corners and how vibrant that is in some cities, and we're looking at maybe some changes in some ordinances here that might make that easier to do.... •So there are a lot of ways we can support individual artists ... as well as the big organizations outside just the financial arena. Do you have any specific goals as arts coordinator? One thing that we have seen come out of the arts and cultural plan ... people love the public arts program but they want to see it expand into more regions of the city. We've heard that people would like to have artwork that responds to social issues, and they would like to have an art park where anybody could go and do their artwork. So expanding the public art program is definitely one of our goals and one of my goals. Looking at how the city funds arts and cultural organizations ... and are there some ways that we can financially support individual artists? There's a great group of artists ... doing this project called PROject proJECT. They're doing light shows downtown, and so we've been working with them on how to make that happen. So one of our big goals is to support these, for lack of a better term, guerilla art movements, things that artists are getting together and doing. Support them because that's what makes the city different and exciting.... Also, I think one of our goals is to support arts education. We've worked in the past with the school system. ... This year for the first time we actually purchased a piece of student artwork to add to our public art collection from a show the city schools did.... We have something in the works now with a professor at Hollins that we could maybe connect her students with the school system here. So making those connections with the colleges in the region. I think very often we don't take advantage of that talent that's • right around here.... Newsweek has done a survey about creativity and how it's dropping among our students in the United States, but yet employers are increasingly saying creativity is one of the major factors they look for when they employ people. It gives them that competitive edge. And if you look, innovative businesses are the 2 of 8/18/2011 11:47 AM Arts, culture can draw businesses to area - Roanoke.com http://www.roanoke.com/business/wb/293791 ones that are really making strides. There's a disconnect there, so what can we do to help that disconnect • by developing creativity in students and therefore helping with work force development down the road? What do you say to people to persuade them that supporting the arts community is important? I can pull out all the economic impact figures and the education impact figures about [how] students who participate in the arts perform better ... but I think really what people relate to is arts in their own community and how the arts affect them. I use that example about where do you like to go visit? ... What do you do there? They go to museums, they visit art exhibits. All you have to do is kind of reverse it with people.... Would you want to live in a community that didn't have a vibrant arts scene? So rather than pulling out the education and the economic figures, now I try to bring it down to a personal level. We're learning that people really connect with the arts in their own neighborhoods.
