Minutes of the meeting of the
Arts and Culture Board
City of Georgetown, Texas
November 14, 2017
The Arts and Culture Board met on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. in Classroom 211 of
Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. 8th Street, Georgetown, TX.
PRESENT: Tim Fleming, Wes Odell, Laura Sewell, Sharon Snuffer, Carol Watson and Linda Wilde.
ABSENT: Jane Estes
STAFF PRESENT: Eric Lashley- Library Director, Dana Hendrix-Fine Arts Librarian and Lawren Weiss-
Administrative Assistant.
Vice Chair Sewell called the meeting to order at 4:30 pm.
A. Citizens wishing to address the Board. – Laura Sewell, Vice Chair. None were present. No
action required.
B. Announcements regarding arts and culture in Georgetown. Laura Sewell, Vice Chair. Board
members discussed upcoming local arts and culture events and recent arts related
experiences. No action required.
C. Review of minutes from the October 17, 2017 Arts & Culture Board meeting. – Laura Sewell,
Vice Chair. Motion by Odell; second by Watson to amend item H in October’s meeting
minutes to state that, “Odell requested that item G: Discussion of work plan for future public
art projects at the new City Hall, Municipal Court and other locations be moved up in
November’s meeting agenda to item C. The request was affirmatively acknowledged.”
Approved as amended 6-0. (Estes absent).
Motion by Wilde; second by Fleming to move item G up on the agenda, to be discussed
after item C regarding minutes. Approved 6-0. (Estes absent).
D. Discussion of call for artist proposals for recycled street sign art project . – Eric Lashley,
Library Director. Lashley handed out a proposed call to artists draft for a recycled street sign
art project (attached). The board discussed many changes to the call and project details,
including waiting until all signs are removed from the streets before sending out the call. This
will allow a more detailed description of the signs to be given to interested artists. Artists
should be given the opportunity to preview the signs and ask questions of City staff. Even
though the most prominent word in the inventory will be “Austin”, the art needs to appeal to
residents and visitors of Georgetown. Board members want to add the term “mixed media”
and “mosaic” to the list of potential projects. The call should also be clear that the Arts and
Culture Board may opt not to select any proposal. Lashley will include these changes in the
call. No action required.

E. Review of monthly report from Georgetown Art Works. –Eric Lashley, Library Director.
Since the Arts and Culture Board moved their m eeting up a week, it was not possible for
Georgetown Art Works to provide the report early. Weiss will email a copy of the report to the
Board once received. No action required.
Consideration and possible action to award first and second place prize for the Georgetown
Sculpture Tour. - Dana Hendrix, Fine Arts Librarian. Hendrix reviewed accumulated board
member’s scores for the nine sculpture tour pieces. The top two sculptures were “Kite” by
Mary Morse and “Freshwater Cowgirl” by Anthony St. James. After much discussion, Wilde
moved and Odell seconded awarding first prize ($1,500) to Morse and second prize ($750)
to St. James. Approved 6-0. (Estes absent).
F. Update regarding hiring for the part-time arts and culture position. –Eric Lashley, Library
