Regular Session
A. Citizens who wish to address the board. — None were present.
B. Announcements of upcoming arts and culture events. — Georgetown Symphony Society will
feature the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Finalist: Nikita Mndoyants in
recital on October 25, 2015 at 4 p.m. at the Klett Center.
C. Consideration and approval of the minutes of the September 15, 2015 Arts & Culture Board
meeting. Melissa Waggoner noted that the total for public art under item F is incorrect. The
2015-2016 budget total for public art should be $11,500, not $12,000. Waggoner moved to
approve the minutes as amended. Amanda Still seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously.
D. Report on the Texas Commission on the Arts grant application process. — Eric Lashley.
Lashley provided the board with a handout (attached to these minutes) regarding the TCA
grant application process. Lashley explained that the deadline for applications is October 15,
2015, which doesn't provide a lot of time for organizations to put together a proposal.
Nonprofits can apply directly to TCA, but they must have a support letter from the Arts &
Culture Board to qualify. Lashley also expressed concerns about the application process with
the board.
E. Consideration and possible action to direct staff to write a letter of support on behalf of the
Georgetown Palace Theatre for a Texas Commission on the Arts grant application. — Eric
Lashley. Lashley explained that the Palace Theatre would like to apply for a TCA grant to help
fund the Envision Campaign, which will bring a Children's Education Center and Performance
Space within the Historic District of Georgetown. If awarded, the TCA grant funds will go
towards Phase 1 of the project, which will pay for architectural design and engineering of the
building. The board inquired as to how much the Palace is requesting in their grant application,
since the funds must be matched by the awarded organizations. Lashley said that the City is
unaware of how much the Palace is asking for, but could ask Marissa for that information.
Lashley asked board members to consider directing him to write a letter of support, on behalf
of the Arts & Culture Board, for the Palace to provide in their TCA grant application. Steve
Harris made a motion to direct Lashley to write a letter of support for the Palace Theatre to
include in their Texas Commission on the Arts grant application. Liz Stewart seconded the
motion, which passed unanimously.
F. Report from Georgetown Art Works regarding the operation of the Georgetown Art Center
during the month of September. — Eric Lashley. Lashley explained that due to the early
meeting date this month, Diane Gaume (President of Georgetown Art Works) was not able to
produce a report regarding September's operations. Lashley moved on to report that the Art
Center's Art Hop exhibit was receiving a lot of attention. During its first week, over 800 people
attended the Art Center to view the exhibit.
G. Report on the second floor co-op space above Georgetown Art Center. — Eric Lashley. Lashley
reported that City employees will vacate offices on the second floor of Georgetown Art Center
by January 4, 2016. In order for Georgetown Art Works to manage the vacant space, the City's
legal department must draft an amendment to the current Operating Agreement between the
City and Georgetown Art Works. Pending council approval, Georgetown Art Works will take
over the second floor on February 1, 2016 to use as a co-op space.
H. Consideration and possible action to establish grant guidelines, procedures, and deadlines for
nonprofit arts and culture organizations. —Eric Lashley, Dana Hendrix. Dana Hendrix passed
out a draft copy of the Call for Arts and Culture Grant Proposals (attached to these minutes).
Hendrix asked the board to consider any changes they would like made to the draft, so she
can publish the call after the meeting. Board members discussed the call and advised Hendrix
on what should be changed. The call for grant applicants will go out on October 14, 2015.
I. Consideration of dates of future meetings. — The next meeting will be November 17, 2015.

Welcome to our 16th season of bringing classical concerts
to Georgetown. We are proud to present four performances
by the Tem ple Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Thomas
Fairlie, and two by the Round Rock Symphony, conducted by
Stefan Sanders. Our annual Van Cliburn Concert will feature
Nikita Mndoyants, a Finalist in the 2013 International Piano
Competition. And again this season, you'll have opportunities to
hear performances by our wonderful Vivace Youth Orchestras.
None of these performances would be possible without the
financial support of you, our audience, through your donations
and sponsorships of concerts. Revenue from tickets sales
alone doesn't begin to cover the cost of our concerts. IN FACT,
ticket sales cover less than one third of our total expenses
and only your generosity enables us to continue offering high
quality artistic presentations while keeping ticket prices
affordable. When ordering your season tickets, we hope you'll
consider adding a generous donation. Thank you!

The Georgetown Symphony Society is deeply invested in
nurturing music and orchestra programs in area schools. Our
capstone project is the Musical Enrichment Program, which
gives approximately 2,400 4th and 5th grade students from
Georgetown, Florence, Jarrell, and Walburg two half days of
concerts and interaction with outstanding musician-educators
so that the students may gain an appreciation for fine music
and may be inspired to join their schools' band or orchestra
programs. Numerous studies show that participation in band or
orchestra, through mastery of an instrument, correlates strongly
with higher grades in school, development of inquisitive, supple
minds, and future acceptance into college. For more information
or to volunteer at our events, please contact Nancy Robohn at
robohnlopez@yahoo.com.
Your tax-deductible contributions to the GSS help the
Georgetown community in many ways. In addition to a fine
concert series, the GSS has:
• Provided a Steinway concert grand piano for the Klett
Center for the Performing Arts at Georgetown High School.
• Helped launch the very successful Georgetown Festival of
the Arts.
• Provided care and maintenance of a Steinway concert grand
piano, once owned by Miss Ima Hogg, donated by Drusilla
Huffmaster Anderson, and now used for concerts in the
Hewlett Room of the Georgetown Public Library.
• Sponsored the development of the Vivace Youth Orchestra.
Your financial support has helped Georgetown become a
center for the arts and one of the most desirable areas in the
United States in which to live and retire. Thank you!
Season ticket holders have the option of Premium Seating or
General Admission Seating. See the seating diagram below.
A Premium Seating ticket allows you to sit anywhere within
the auditorium. A General Admission ticket allows you to sit
only in the General Admission area.
Please indicate on the ticket order form which area you prefer.
