The school received a MN State Art learning grant and used it to have artist Anne Krocak come in and make art with the students. They will be unveiling the art on May 30th 12-1:30 in the school garden. They asked us how they can promote the event. We suggested getting in touch with the city of Richfield to get the event up on their online calendar, Out and About TV, social media, also submit the events to Richfield Patch and Sun Current. We will mention the event on our social media feeds before the event May Open House Judy Goebel Our first Open House of the season will be on May 12th. Willie can bring spin art as well as florescent sticker paper for the flower pots. We have murals we can bring out. Pete will remind Mary to get musicians for the event. We will need a day before the Open House to organize the Art Center after the new floor is installed. Debra will talk to MK about when we can do that. More details next meeting May 17 Community Celebration event Judy Goebel We would like to have some volunteers at the Art Center during the event, which is 4:30-7pm to watch out for everything since the Art Center will be open. We won’t have activities going on, but maybe we have literature to hand out? More details next meeting Work Session with City Council Debra Caserotti This will be July 10th around 5:30 or 6pm at the council chambers. We will dig out the old plan and get it on the agenda for next meeting. We can present the bicycle event. Judy will send out the 2010 work session info. More details next meeting RAC Public Art Tour Tomasz Majewski The bicycle event sub committee met up. Tom talked to David Gepner and he had some good ideas on pulling info about getting police escort. He knows people from the ‘Nice Ride’ program and could use their mobile stations if they can’t get rented bikes for free. The Open House would be noon-4 with a 2pm guided tour of selected art. David will help draw up a route. Maybe we can pull in some artists that did Art work to be at the station and talk about art? Maybe we do a kickstarter.com project for the event? Do-town money is available, Tom will try and fill out an application grant from them for the bicycle event. Can we have doors open in community center? Can we have musicians at the Art Center?
