I will be making a firm volunteer call next meeting, but I wanted to get this on everyone's calendar because we will need some help. I hope all will make effort to attend this event, it is great to see all the art of the up and coming artists of Jeffersonville, said John McCarthy. Reappointments Update—Emily Dippie We get to keep Kofi. I got the official word from the Mayor that Kofi is reappointed as a Commissioner for 3 years. Gallery Updates—Emily Dippie Heads up I did release the call for digital gallery space, we are receiving submissions. I will be reaching out soon for jury panels for the year. If you are on digital gallery committee I need you to stick around to discuss October theme. The artists have really liked having the year long calendar it helps them to plan. Is there deadline for the submissions, asked John McCarthy. I built a page showing all calls, there are descriptions of all projects, along with calendar with deadline to apply for each show. Any questions about this right now?Asks, Emily. RFP Pipes Shirley's Arbor I mentioned this last month, I wrote up the RFP's and pushed them out, we have not received any submissions yet but they are out there. We do have a lot of time before deadline,just wanted you all to know RFP is out there and word of mouth always is the best. Company Outcast Update—Emily nipple February show, due to Omnicron, changed to podcast. Podcast will be done Saturday and pushed out in March. Our partnership with them is going well. Please let us know when that comes out, said John. Oh yes, I will for sure, says Emily. New Business: Committee Calls Amplift Kick off Party NoCo Art Mobile Two of the committees have met, NOCO art mobile and Ample&have had their first committee meeting. I think both of the meeting were very fruitful. Things discussed in NOCO Art mobile, instead of doing a trailer for NOCO art mobile we are doing a van, this gives us more options to who can drive it and the cost. So we are leaning more toward a van. Started planning for what summer training can look like. Next action I will move forward to purchase a van, with the help of a few other City employees. I have a friend that has a van they drive around and they have a lift in the van, this helps a lot. Can we look for a van with a left?Asks Susan. I think that's a good thought, I am making a note, says Emily. Amplify committee meeting, great meeting brought forth, we talked about what we wanted this kick off party be, so we want people to know what JPAC is and the plan for 2022. What are people going to do at this party, collaborative art piece,pipe painters,feedback area, also talked about a photo booth, band,food trucks, the idea of having this feel like a street party. We have schedule our second meeting for next week We have set the date for Ampler is April 9, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. We are going to have a mini horse fashion show, they bring 8 mini horses. Amplify the Arts. Report on Franklin Square partnership zoom—Abigail Richmer Most of the meeting was very informational, their goal is to become a STEM certified school. Discussed the steps they are having to take to get this certification, talked about project lead the way, it's hands on leaning, real world engagement. Full Steam ahead program is their school clubs programs. Hoping to create a partnership between the school and community environment. What is the process of certification? They have to have their curriculum laid out, and there is a rubric they have to go by and then it goes to the State for certification. The other thing I think we might need to do it possibly get a couple of their administrators to talk with just us, said John. Story Trail discussion Do we want to release to schools the same as last time or do we want to change it? John wrote an awesome lesson plan to help incorporate into the lessons, we created an online portal that students could use to submit their stories. Was there anybody on the jury that thought we needed to add, do we want to change the theme? I think it's great to change the theme this year, said Sarah. I kinda feel it's time to change the theme, says Rosey. I think we should open it up a little more. I think we should change it as well, said Denise. I too, am thinking we should change it up, says Kofi. I think with Jeffrey and a lot of new artwork we wouldn't have to change it this year, said Susan. Sounds like we want to go with Jeffrey as our theme, says Emily. Can we give the kids prompts for their submissions?Asks Sarah. I love that idea, would help to give the kids directions, says Rosey. Can we include Ava that wrote the poem for Jeffrey and the artist that created Jeffrey in maybe a video, says Rosey. I think we need to incorporate the newest Story trail artist as well, says.Sarah. My only thought and worry about doing a group of videos is that the teachers have everything they need to complete this. If we want to get this in teacher lesson plan book do we want to push out what we did last year and then enhance it at a later date/time?Asks Emily. Mini Maples Art Project RFP Theme for Pipes RFP Theme for Shirley's Arbor I got contacted by an Artist right after Janauary meeting, Donna Shaw she is in collaboration with GCCS Librarians. She is working to create 10 dierammas, each costing$400.00. she is looking to have each one sponsored by local groups. Once she has all 10 it will be a traveling show to all elementary schools in GCCS. We have until April to decide if we would like to sponsor, so we can vote tonight or wait until March meeting. This promotes literacy and art, says Rosey. Are we talking about sponsoring 1 of the 10, asks Denise. One board cost is$400.00 says Emily. Susan makes motion to sponsor 1 board for$400.00, motion seconded by Rosey, roll call vote taken, motion carried 7-0. Calendar Update I put together a tentative calendar, I wanted to review with you guys to see if anything needed moved or we like where everything is. Thank you for putting this together, it helps us to plan, says Sarah. Yes it looks good Contractor Update Original budget we voted to bring someone in to do grants and stuff, I am working with HR about this but wanted you all to know I am working on this just haven't brought someone in yet.
