Review of July events:
Glass Lampworking Wine walk—Dawn said this turned out to be a great night and everyone that come
through loved the event. My question to the board is, would we like to do this again?
Paul Northam: yes John McCarthy: If we do this on a regular basis it could for sure bring people into the arts
facility. Leslie Lewis-Sheets: approximately 350-500 people travelled through art center. Kofi Darku: if arts
regualry participate in wine walk I believe it will grow. John McCarthy: if we try to promote more with maybe
the trolley or something. We can look at route and see what art there is along the route and have someone to
talk about the art. Just a thought.
Black light Creative Impact
Dawn said this event really blew up. About 275 people came to this event. Dawn was able to get in touch with
6 artists and a DJ. WHAS 11 news was filming live at the event. Kofi Darku asked the boards thoughts of
doing a coloring book of all projects completed in the City art related. John McCarthy, said if we do that can
we make it educational as well? Kofi Darku, loves the idea. The board agreed Black light needs to be a yearly
event.
