Chair Charles Aguillon called the meeting to order at 3:08 p.m. B. There were no announcements regarding upcoming events C. Citizens wishing to address the Board - none were present D. Consideration and approval of mmutes of last meeting. Georgene moved that the minutes be accepted as distributed, seconded by Steve. Motion passed unanimously. E. Consideration of and possible action on 1. Presentation by Cindy Thompson, Friends of Georgetown Symphony Society (FOGSS), regarding funding for children's programs - Charles Aguillon Ms Thompson described the music enrichment programs FOGSS sponsors twice each year for 4th and 5th grade students in the GISD. Their purpose is to give the students an opportunity to learn about different musical instruments, performers, and performances so that they may make informed decisions in 6th grade about taking up a musical instrument or participating in a musical group. Ms. Thompson suggested that the Board could help, either by volunteering at these musical programs, or by making a financial contribution. $4800 would sponsor one concert, $10,000 sponsor both. 2. Presentation by Doug Smith, Palace Theater, regarding request for funding - Charles Aguillon. Before the presentationby the Palace Theater supporters, Charles informed the Board that they were hearing from these organizations today because of direction from the City Council In a recent meeting the Council turned down the Palace's request for social service funding and told their representative to see the Arts and Culture Board about a grant. Bob Kostka, president of Georgetown Palace Theater, Inc. made the presentation. He recognized the important contribution past President Doug Smith has made to their organization. The Palace provides training in the performing arts for children during the summer, at spring and fall workshops, and in a proposed after -school program They are seeking $10,000, which would allow them to reduce tuition and increase the number of scholarships they offer. In answer to Steve's question about how much the Council granted the Palace for these programs last year, Mr. Kostka said $5000. Charles asked how many of the participants in the kids' programs are from Georgetown, but Mr. Kostka was not able to provide a percentage. He said he could get that figure for the Board and he also added that the Board could designate that any funding they provided be used only for children from Georgetown. Penny asked how much HOT funding the Palace received and Mr Kostka said they had only received enough to pay for one ad in Texas Monthly and that was two years ago. Mr. Kostka emphasized the number of people who come from out of town to attend performances at the Palace. He said he would get a copy of the audience survey they did recently to the Board. 3. Budget, including hghting for library, TSOS purchase, an.d possible grants - Judy Fabry, Judy reported that the cost of replacing the canister lighting on the library bridge and downstairs in the lobby had increased from $500 to $1000, due primarily to the cost of the fixtures that are compatible with the wiring in these areas. She also statedthat she is concerned about the effect on the general lighting in these areas that replacing the downward focusing fixtures with ones focused on the brick walls will have. At night, with all illumination focused on the dark walls, the area currently being illuminated will become much darker. After a brief discussion, Penny moved to drop the project; Georgene amended the motion to say the project will be tabled but will be reconsidered if a better option comes up, and added her second to the amended motion. The motion passed unanimously. Regarding the purchase of one of the sculptures in the TSOS exhibit that is currently at the library, Charles said he had decided that the Board should not use its funds for public art at this time and he moved that no purchase be made. Steve seconded the motion. Much discussion followed regarding how the Board's funding should be used when there is no promise that there will be any funding in the future. Clearly, the Council wants the Board to do grants to arts non -profits, but how much should be used for that purpose? [he plan that the Board had put in place has been pre-empted by the Council. Eric pointed out the importance of cultivating a good relationship with the TSOS since they will be contributing works for the sculpture display in the park as well as a proposed permanent rotating display at the library and future annual shows. Charles retracted his motion and made a new one calling for the purchase of a large outdoor piece to place in San Gabriel Park Penny seconded that motion. More discussion followed and when the motion was called, it failed unanimously. Georgene moved that the Board tell TSOS that they might provide prize money for next year's show at the library. Motion failed for lack of a second. Judy said she would talk to Dar Richardson about how much prize money would be appropriate for next year's show. Charles suggested it is very important to establish a budget so that they can make spending decisions more easily Steve and Mandy volunteered to serve with Charles on a budget subcommittee. They agreed to meet as soon as possible 4. Update on Fme Arts Festival on the Square, October 17 & 18 — Charles Aguillon. Charles said that the plans for Georgetown Art in the Square are on schedule and that most logistics have been figured out. Non -profits will sell drinks and all of the restaurants will have sidewalk stands set up in front of their businesses to sell inexpensive food items. Mandy asked whether there would be stands for GISD and SU. Charles said they had not been planned for at this point but he would ask Lynette about doing this. Everyone agreed this would be a good way to bring local artists into the mix of those who are selling their works. There will be a reception for the artists the evening of October 16. 5. Meeting with Paul Brandenburg — Charles Aguillon. Charles has not met with Paul yet, but he spoke by phone with Keith Brainard and will be meeting with him soon. He also expects to see Dale Ross soon. 6. Progress report on San Gabriel Park Sculpture Garden — Charles Aguillon et al. Georgene gave a slide presentation of the trip she and Penny made to Marble Falls to look at that town's sculpture exhibit. Dan Pogue and his wife, who have been the primary facilitators for the exhibit in Marble Falls were their hosts. Georgene then presented slides showing the five proposed locations in San Gabriel Park where Georgetown's rotating sculpture exhibit will be. Eric had taken this presentation to the Parks Board meeting on August 13 and. received "enthusiastic support' for the proposed sculpture project. The Parks Board also suggested that additional benches for the proposed sculpture sites may already be available. Georgene outlined the steps that she believes must take place for the first sculptures to be in place by mid -October (1) create/ and place the pedestals; (2) install mounting plates on the pedestals; (3) acquire and place the benches; (4) contact artists about applying to display their work. She said the application process Marble Falls uses is very simple and she recommended adopting their form and process. Steve moved to proceed with the sculpture project for a cost not to exceed $3000, which includes the purchase of ten pieces of stone and purchasing and installing mounting plates on each pedestal. Georgene seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Charles is going to pursue getting the stone donated by Texas Crushed Stone. Mandy inquired about whether lighting would be available for the sculpture sites. Eric said it might be possibility in the future. 7. A Summit of the Arts in 2009? - Penny Plueckhahn. Penny and Charles agreed to serve on a subcommittee to set a date for the Summit of the Arts. At this event, which will only be one session this year, the Board will announce their grant program and will set a deadline for applications, probably in December 2009. 8. Art Works banner project - Eric Lashley The Board unanimously agreed on the ' Art and Culture" banner that has a pewter strip at top and bottom Nick Ramos needed this information before movmg ahead with printing of the banners. 9. Plaque for Mules sculpture - Judy Fabry Judy showed a proof of the plaque, the cost of which is $333. It will be ready the first week of September. Bob Coffee said he would install this plaque when he does the repair work on the date he engraved on the sculpture. 10. Wording for Council Proclamation for October Art Month - Eric Lashley The Board agreed that the City Council proclamation for Arts Monthshould not include the names of specific organizations or events. Eric said Jessica Hamilton, City Secretary, will prepare the final proclamation. 11. Potential future projects: arts and culture outdoor events area near library - Eric Lashley Item postponed until the September meeting. 12. Items for September agenda -Judy Fabry Charles proposed and the Board agreed to hold two meetings in September, one on September 9 and the other on the regular meeting date, September 16.

They are an independent group which receives no financial support from any government agency. They rely on private funding and volunteers. The City assists with brochure distribution and website promotion. HISTORY Sculpture on Main was the first rotating public art exhibit in Texas. A couple of other cities have begun similar programs and there are numerous other exhibits in cities nation-wide. The project has been in existence for two years and is currently taking artists applications for the third year. They currently have 40 pieces of art on display. The Project was started by local artists including Dan Pogue and his wife Marti. They originally solicited works from known artists and there is now a web based application procedure. They found that artists were very receptive to the concept. Two or three pieces have been sold each year and the artists seem to be motivated to display their works though the prospect of a sale as well as just the additional exposure of their art to the public. LOCATION The sculptures are distributed along a four block stretch of Main Streetin downtown Marble Falls. Some are on the median and some in small, curbside patches which are landscaped. Main Street is two blocks off of Highway 281. The stretch of Main Street includes retail outlets as well as the public library and the police department. They have experienced only 2-3 cases of juvenile vandalism since inception and no incidence of theft. BASES FOR ART WORKS Granite bases are used to display the works. These were donated by a local quarry, Cold Springs Mining. The bases are of varying sizes and shapes. The name of the work, the artist's name and the price is affixed to the base. The works are secured to the granite bases with bolts set into the base. It was suggested that a better way of securing the work would be with a steel plate secured to the base and the base of the art work spot welded to the base plate. The artist would be responsible for having his work delivered with a steel base attached. Removal would be accomplished by simply grinding away the spot weld. PROCEDURE Artists apply to be included in the display. Cash awards are given for top artists to increase the incentive to apply. The applications, as well as the Artist Agreement are online. Artists agree to display their work for a period of one year, October to October. The Pogues believe that the one year time frame is dictated by insurance requirements of the City. Once applications are received there is a juried selection. They have opted to exclude any works depicting graphic nudity to avoid controversy. Once accepted, the artist signs an agreement. The artist has responsibility for the work until it is delivered and resumes responsibility at the end of the one year period. In the interim, the City insures the works with a $1,000 deductible which the artist is responsible for paying in the case of loss or damage. In the most recent case of vandalism, the police were able to apprehend the culprits and they made restitution to work off the $1,000 which eliminated the artist's need to pay. Once the work is delivered, the association decides on the placement of the art as well as selecting an appropriate base. The Parks and Recreation Department can be called upon to help with the placement but most of the work is done by volunteers. If an artist sells a work and the buyer demands delivery prior to the expiration of the one year period, the artist supplies a replacement work for the duration. PROMOTION A brochure is produced annually which highlights each art work numerically indicating its location so as to constitute a "walking tour." It also includes something about the artist and the price of the work. The cost of the brochure is defrayed by selling ads to local retailers. Last year they produced 20,000 brochures which were distributed by local merchants as well as being included in mail outs by the Chamber of Commerce and the CVB. The artists are grateful for this publicity. The display has also been featured in local publications as well as the July 2009 edition of Texas Highways. IMPACT ON THE CITY They are convinced that the art display has had a positive impact on tourism in Marble Falls but they have not collected any hard data to corroborate this. The City seems to agree as it continues to actively support the project although not providing financial assistance. WEBSITE http://www.historicmainstreet.org/sculptureonmain • • • • • ADDITIONAL NOTES There is a good possibility that an arrangement could be made where art works displayed in Marble Falls could be moved to Georgetown when their time there has elapsed and vice versa. We agreed that Marble Falls and Georgetown would not be in competition with our public art programs. We would seek to assist each other in promoting our individual displays. There is also the possibility of promoting a "Central Texas Sculpture Tour." The Marble Falls group has already been in contact with a couple of places in Austin. They are interested in pursuing grants but have not done so as yet. They would welcome any advice we could give them in this regard . th City of Georgetown Youth Program Funding Application, Page 3 Section 5: Qualifications of the Applicant What is the agency's mission statement: The Georgetown Palace Theatre, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality oflife in Georgetown and Williamson County by providing a venue for quality entertainment and educational opportunities in the performing arts. To support its mission the Palace will: 1.Offer a wide variety of professional level stage performances that embrace the talents oflocal amateur performers who compete for roles through open auditions.2.Provide training to the youth and the community in the performing arts to grow anddevelop their skills and self-confidence.3.Enhance the historic preservation of Georgetown by properly maintaining the historicPalace Theatre building.4.Honor community involvement and external financial support by operating on a soundfinancial basis.5.Contribute to the economic viability of downtown Georgetown by drawing tourists andthe local community to the downtown area.6.When available, provide a venue to the community for meetings, lectures andperformances.Briefly describe the agency's history, programs, and programs: Located at 810 South Austin Avenue in Georgetown, Texas, the Palace was built in 1925 by A. C. Moore of Bartlett, Texas. The buff brick exterior of the original building became the present Art Deco facade in 1936 during remodeling done by Mr. & Mrs. 0. A. Englebrecht, who owned the theatre from 1927 until 1968. The stucco exterior is reported by the Georgetown Heritage Society to be the only building of the Art Deco period found in Georgetown. In 1989, faced with declining revenues, outdated systems and equipment, the property was put up for sale. In December of 1990, a group of concerned citizens led by attorney Eugene D.Taylor formed Georgetown Palace Theatre, Inc., to save this historic theatre for WilliamsonCounty. This group met the challenge of raising the initial down payment plus additionalfunding for operating expenses and equipment for the theatre. The names of the 200-plus chartermembers whose gifts got this amazing venture started are listed on two plaques, Gold and Silver,which hang in the lobby in the restored and enhanced Palace Theatre. More than 70hardworking citizens, who became known as The Palace Guard, joined efforts to clean up thetheatre, achieved through almost 600 hours of difficult, dirty work. A plaque also honors thiscorps of important Palace volunteers.Georgetown Palace Theatre, Inc. has been successful in exceeding the original goals and objectives created in 1990 by its first Board of Directors. The primary objective to secure and sustain the financial support and personal involvement of patrons of the arts and other members of the community has been realized through annual donations by individuals and businesses.
