NoCo Art Mobile—John McCarthy The van looks beautiful, the wrap was done by Cheryl Ullrich, and she done a great job. We completed a week long artist training, facilitated by Debbie Shannon and we have hired four artists. They learned how to prepare and facilitate lesson plans. They met with our community partners minus Riverbend and all of them loved all the artists. I had the artists to evaluate the program,they rated us a 4.8 out of 5. Comments received are: time was powerful, very engaging, need more time for lesson planning and implementation. When is lst event scheduled for Art Mobile?Asks Susan Harrison. We have not scheduled anything as of yet, says John McCarthy. I have a conference room full of shelves and bins to be installed into art mobile and Denise has come up with a logo and we will be getting t-shirts for all volunteers, said Andy Crouch. Children's Fine Art Class —John McCarthy Date has been chosen for this, it is going to be September 12 and will run for ten weeks. I have sent information to all elementary art teachers and coordinators notifying them of this event. So hopefully we have a good turnout.

Commissioners all say they would like to see shows being added to digital gallery. Is there anyway of adding mobile shows to the gallery?Asks Susan Harrison. I am sure there is a way, says Andy Crouch. I am going to have to figure out how Emily got the designs, I think she used canvas and I am not very familiar with that program. Abbigail Richmer stated she had an account and would be willing to help with all this. Will screens go black if we don't change them?Asks John McCarthy. No screens will not go black it will just keep on there what is on there now, says Andy Crouch. Sub committee for digital art committee is Susan Harrison, Kofi Darku, Sarah Young, and Rosey Callahan. Teen Arts Council- Committee Committee has not met since last month. Emily shared her whole folder with me but there is no application questions, says Abbigail Richmer. Do we need to go back and visit this right now? Is this the right time? I have a lot of reservations about this, says Susan Harrison. I have the same reservations about this, says Teah Williams—Hampton. Emily asked me to lead this and I told her I would, says Abbigail Richmer. I worry about putting this on someone's lap, says Susan Harrison. Is there a way to make this work on a smaller scale? Asks Sarah Young. I think we should start getting things together for 2023 session, says Abbigail Richmer. Should we table this to when we get a new administrator? Asks John McCarthy. I don't think we can force the new administrator to do —I don't think we can have a time line, says Susan Harrison. Who is the sub committee for this project? Asks Andy Crouch. Teah, Sarah, Susan, and Abbigail. Kofi Darku makes motion that teen art council continues as has been set, seconded by Sarah Young, motion carried unanimously.

NOCO Arts Programming—postponed This is a large undertaking the new administrator could shine with on this, says Sarah Young. Public Art Maintenance—Discussion. Do we need a committee? My problem is I have a show and a new principal, says Susan Harrison but I think all pieces need to be inspected. I think we need to set a committee, says Sarah Young. Can we all not do this, because there are a lot of pieces, says Rosey Callahan. I will put together a spreadsheet of all pieces if you all would like, says Abbigail Richmer. I am fine with doing twenty and taking pictures to bring back to discuss, says John McCarthy. I believe we have a google maps site we can use with this project, says Andy Crouch. Southern Indiana Arts Alliance—Andy Crouch Brian Bell reached out and asked if we wanted to sponsor a table for gala again this,year, it is $2,000.00 for a table sponsor and you receive 10 tickets. Is there any reason we should sponsor, says Kofi Darku. I think we need to think about this because this is future networking, and future business, says Abbigail Richmer. Would anyone want to go? Asks Andy Crouch. I would hate to sponsor the table and it be sitting there empty. I don't think we can fill a table, says Kofi Darku. I think we give a gesture not a table sponsor. By a show of hands, how many people would like to attend the gala? Asks John McCarthy. By the show of hands there would be enough commissioners to attend to fill the table.
