Report from City
Liaison
MaryKaye
Champa
MaryKaye had her first meeting with Pam Dmytrenko about the
RAC’s presence in the new City Hall. The RAC will have some
input and we may get a display case inside the building. We
will have input in selecting art for the building. A member of the
community development team is currently looking for grants to
help pay for some items for the City Hall, which could include a
hanging system for artwork. MK informed us our budget
leftover for the year was $90.36. We need to spend this money
by the end of the month, or we lose it. We discussed spending
the money on gift card prizes for the Teen Art show, as well as
iron-on transfers and t-shirts to make Arts Commission shirts.
Pete moved our co-chairs spend the money at Michaels to buy
our supplies by the end of the year. The motion carried and
was approved.
Approved —
Judy, Ellen, MK
will meet up at
Michael’s to
purchase gift
cards prizes for
Teen Art Show,
as well as iron-on
transfers, and
t-shirts
Report on Movie
Night
Judy
Goebel
5 people showed up to the first movie night. We were able to
sell a few concessions. The low turnout could be due to the
Yellow Submarine movie not being as popular with kids, and
also not getting the word out enough. The next movie night is
Friday, February 11th. We will discuss more next meeting.
Teen Art Show Kevin Klos Kevin didn’t hear back from the Optimists club about donating
to help with participation awards. Ellen, Ron and Kevin will
judge the art on Saturday, December 4 at noon at the library.
Kevin through numerous contacts was able to get the Teen Art
Show info up on the Portland Avenue and Lyndale signs, the
city website Sun Current website, Richfield Patch,
MinnesotaMonthly.com and MNArtists.org websites. Also, an
“Out and About in Richfield” episode about the Teen Art Show
on the Richfield cable channel has been running. Kevin will
write letter to editor in the Sun Current before the show begins.
The Teen Art Show will include a separate pottery category
this year, so instead of a RAC 3D award, we may want to open
it up to different guidelines. We decided to leave it to the
discretion of the judges after they judge the art. After a group
discussion, Ron motioned for the RAC to allocate up to $50 to
be used for Michaels gift cards as RAC Teen Art Show awards.
Motion carried and was approved. Jackie will bring her camera
to the opening night to get photos of the students and the work.
After judging, Kevin will get in contact with the Art teachers to
let them know the winners, in hopes they notify the winners
and their parents so they attend the awards show/opening
night.
Approved to
spend up to $50
on Michael’s gift
cards for Teen
Art Show awards.
Jackie will bring
camera to awards
show. Kevin will
email Jackie to
remind her.
Kevin, Ellen and
Ron will judge
Teen Art show.
Kevin will get in
contact with Art
Teachers after

email Lisa Howes
to find out how
much the other
award gift cards
will be. Kevin will
write letter to
editor in Sun
Current.
Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM.
