Minutes
Regular Meeting
A. Chair Baker called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m.
B. Consideration and approval of minutes of August 21, 2012 meeting. Liz Stewart moved
to accept the minutes as distributed and Shana Nichols seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously.
C. Consideration of and possible action on
1. Budget and appropriation for gallery tour – Amanda Still. Still briefly reiterated that the
posters for which she was seeking funding are special art quality prints that will be
sold to individuals to raise money for the Georgetown Gallery Tour in November. She
asked for $625 for the first printing run. It was clarified that this is a grant, not a loan,
and that Windberg’s printing bill will come directly to the Arts and Culture Board. Dar
Richardson moved to spend the $625 and Stewart seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously.
2. Grant request from Georgetown Art Works for Art Hop 2012 – Nick Ramos. Ramos
passed out the brochures and postcards that advertise Art Hop’s call for artists and a
sheet showing the event’s budget. As of this date Art Works needs an additional
$6160 to meet expenses for the event, but Ramos expects Art Works will receive
approximately $3000 more in artist entry fees. He said the organization would be
grateful for whatever amount the Arts and Culture Board might be able to contribute.
Discussion followed regarding how much the Board would have to pay for the Utility
Box Art project, which Lashley estimated to be at least $1000. Nichols pointed out that
the Board has only $1800 left after making the grant to the Gallery Tour and that it
was impossible to vote to give Art Works more than that amount. Steve Proesel
moved that the Board give $1000 now and after October 1, when the Board’s FY
12/13 appropriation becomes available, give an additional $1000, if Art Works needs
it. Nichols seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Chair Baker adjourned the meeting at 3:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Liz Stewart, Secretary Philip Baker, Chair
