1
00:00:00,980 --> 00:00:01,560
All

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:17,240
right, so we'll call the meeting to order, the Big Harbor Arts Commission, and why don't we start out with a roll call, and I will leave it off.

3
00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:21,560
Sonia Johnson, chairman, Deborah Vrenman, commissioner.

4
00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:24,060
Suzanne Gilman, commissioner.

5
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:47,220
And then if everyone had a chance to take a look at the minutes of our last meeting and I think that was our creative endeavor, yes, meeting, can we have a motion to approve the minutes for that meeting?

6
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:59,020
This morning we have two new commissioners who you have joined us.

7
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,440
So, you know, unfortunately under tragic circumstances, but now we have these two new commissioners,

8
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,020
so I think are going to be a real nice addition to our group.

9
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,420
We have Robin Avmi, and Robin was previously on our Arts Commission.

10
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:17,660
She was also on the State of Washington Arts Commission.

11
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,060
She's an author and an artist.

12
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:24,280
And she's currently the president of the municipal art group.

13
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:28,140
And then we have Nora Eckstein.

14
00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:34,220
And Nora somewhat recently moved here from California.

15
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,220
And she is very active in the performance.

16
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:40,680
So she's an acting coach and a teacher.

17
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,640
and she's taught at Tom Taylor YMCA and I know you actively teach in the Los

18
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,360
Angeles area. So we have the visual arts and performing arts, so I think that's

19
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,760
going to be a really nice addition to our group. So welcome to both of you.

20
00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:59,280
Thank you. Glad to be back.

21
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:07,380
So we don't have much of an agenda today, not a lot

22
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:13,820
to talk about, but one of the things is our Harbor-Arbor Art Project. And I don't know, typically

23
00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:18,840
if you've got any updates as to any applications that we may have got, we have not received any

24
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,720
applications. But we did get that email yesterday. Yeah, did you get the email from the email?

25
00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:32,000
Right. Yeah, right. So Lynn used to be in charge of the Harbor Art. I mean,

26
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:36,660
she was a member of the commission, but that was her project. And she did a great job with it.

27
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:42,140
and she was always out there actively, like, you know, in the forest, looking for snags and

28
00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:48,140
meeting with the artist. And so she, and did you get a copy of her email too? Yeah. So, you know,

29
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,680
she had some, not even concerns, but some things that she kind of wanted to bring up with us and

30
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,940
saying that, you know, this artist that we had was a really good carver. And I think the problem

31
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:04,220
with it, though, if I remember correctly, it wasn't that, it wasn't even the fact that

32
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:08,720
he wanted to do the art in his studio, I think that would have been fine. But it was

33
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,100
the process then of getting the city's public works department involved. And it was like

34
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:19,940
using a crane and machinery and all that kind of thing. And they just couldn't dedicate

35
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:25,740
that time and machinery to it. Because it's like if this gentleman had some way that

36
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:30,840
he could do something that didn't require that huge installation, and you know, Carolyn,

37
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,740
I know you've kind of taken this on as your project, but I think that would be great to

38
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:39,740
be able to use him if it could be something that didn't lead to that installation.

39
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:46,620
Right. My, well, not having the information that we didn't get any

40
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:54,540
applicants to do similar snags, my initial thought when I read her email was,

41
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:55,260
was that bad for how?

42
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,360
When we first discussed the project most recently,

43
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,500
we thought we were talking about getting

44
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:08,440
some more snags carved and things like that,

45
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:12,640
and then creating a QR code and placing

46
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
into the different entrances so people could go and kind of

47
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,100
find the different snags.

48
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:18,720
And I thought that was such a great idea.

49
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:23,500
The thought of putting all this other art in there

50
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:30,740
kind of, in my opinion, kind of took away from what a cool caravan forest would look like, you know.

51
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,100
They talked about mosaics and something else, and I was trying to find out how does that work with bullet.

52
00:04:36,940 --> 00:04:43,020
Right. And when I was originally looking for other parks, because originally we thought,

53
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:47,060
maybe we'll do this all over the city, all these snags all over the city and how cool it would be,

54
00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:55,140
me. The other parts of the city really did lend themselves to, they didn't have the larger

55
00:04:55,140 --> 00:05:02,800
pieces of stags that we have in the brand new. So, I thought, well, if they wanted to

56
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,640
do something, we wanted to do something more upon a lot, looking like what she, whoops,

57
00:05:08,660 --> 00:05:11,840
My mom's talking to me about it, but it was a nice house for me.

58
00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:22,540
You know, maybe we could look at that for other parts, you know, doing other art that would

59
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:24,880
be more viable for that kind of art.

60
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,200
I just think kind of putting a bunch of other art pieces in grand view, just kind of, I

61
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,180
don't know, kind of...

62
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,240
What's already there in this art?

63
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:35,680
Yeah.

64
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,740
I don't know. That's just my opinion. Long winded opinion.

65
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:49,420
Well, you know, I took a look at our call for ArtTube because I thought maybe we need to expand the definition or expand what we're looking for.

66
00:05:49,680 --> 00:06:00,840
But it doesn't just say carving. It does say embellishment. And so I think it is a little bit more open-ended because I just wanted to make sure it didn't just say that we were looking for wood carvings.

67
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,280
But even, you know, maybe not a mosaic,

68
00:06:04,540 --> 00:06:06,160
but even if there were some truck in somebody,

69
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:09,700
you could nail something on it or do something.

70
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:13,580
I mean, I could see how you could have some sort of art

71
00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:18,860
still on the tree snail without being, you know,

72
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,240
not true to the character of the service.

73
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,060
Besides the gigabyte, is this call for artists

74
00:06:25,060 --> 00:06:26,740
raised to anyone or else?

75
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:28,920
Well, it was on the city's website

76
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,460
And then it was promoted in social media in the gigabyte punk.

77
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Should I make a suggestion?

78
00:06:35,380 --> 00:06:42,360
We could promote the arts, the state arts commission would promote it as a potential project.

79
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,360
I think it would give them this. They put it on their social media.

80
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,260
I think if we gave them a social media post.

81
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Does it have to be a gig hard?

82
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:52,900
Are we an artist?

83
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:53,960
No.

84
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,180
But I was wondering, even just more locally, what about, you know, your, your peninsula

85
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:01,600
early?

86
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,780
Do you have some sort of an email blast or a newsletter or something?

87
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,840
We have a couple different things.

88
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,160
Yeah.

89
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:11,620
We have a creative brief every two weeks that goes out.

90
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,380
And then we have a digital magazine that goes out five times a year.

91
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:19,500
So we'd be happy to put it in there.

92
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:21,860
That's not an issue at all.

93
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:25,060
If it's the two-week one, that would be nice.

94
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,700
And maybe some of the artists there

95
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:30,100
are looking at the gigabyte, maybe missed it.

96
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:31,240
So there might be someone, right?

97
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,500
And that's what already happened.

98
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,880
Then it could be potentially someone.

99
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:39,240
I think that I know there's no tree carvers.

100
00:07:39,580 --> 00:07:40,980
So I'm going to go there.

101
00:07:43,740 --> 00:07:47,380
But I thought the idea of a mosaic was interesting.

102
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,740
And we do have some mosaic of artists.

103
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:55,320
And I would, if you want, I would just reach out to them directly, because I haven't read

104
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:02,000
the call for artists, but I don't know if it prompts anything like that, you know, like

105
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,500
the Mosaic of Artists could look at it and think.

106
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:11,560
Yeah, and then Roe said, Lynn, she didn't mention Mosaics, and so I was trying to

107
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,660
picture how that blueboard would.

108
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:18,860
Well, or it could be, you know, there are paths there, right?

109
00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:24,960
So there could be like half markers or something in Mosaic, something like that.

110
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,520
I haven't been in the park in a long time. I'll have to walk and see what's there.

111
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,440
But, and this is, this is.

112
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:41,630
So how do you park is the one now that has that the building in it, right?

113
00:08:41,910 --> 00:08:45,610
This is just on the other side of right over here.

114
00:08:47,570 --> 00:08:48,010
Okay.

115
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:48,950
All right.

116
00:08:49,130 --> 00:08:49,650
All right.

117
00:08:49,650 --> 00:08:49,890
All right.

118
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:50,510
After the meeting.

119
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:55,590
Um, but yeah, it could be some sort of marker or something that could be a mosaic.

120
00:08:56,010 --> 00:09:04,570
I mean, if you're open, if you guys like other ideas, um, I think the I, but

121
00:09:04,570 --> 00:09:10,430
But I do know that we don't have, you know, if it was just that you wanted tree snags,

122
00:09:10,810 --> 00:09:17,130
I'm not sure that there's anybody in the Peninsular League who would do that.

123
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,070
But maybe they might know somebody who does.

124
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:21,970
Not sure.

125
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:23,270
That's the first possibility.

126
00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:23,890
They might.

127
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:33,230
But yeah, but I mean, happy to put it in our newsletter, not a private one.

128
00:09:33,230 --> 00:09:37,070
It's just, you hate to see another year go by without adding something to that.

129
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:42,470
So the money's set aside already, and so it's just a question of how much is the budget.

130
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:51,470
So this was the, it's since has expired, the time to apply was May 1st.

131
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,330
But this was the newsflash that went on.

132
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:57,470
So it does say artistic carving or embellishment.

133
00:09:59,150 --> 00:10:00,570
Is it 1500?

134
00:10:00,890 --> 00:10:02,250
No, no, it was like 7,500.

135
00:10:02,930 --> 00:10:20,650
Yeah, I mean, that's that's a good budget. It's all artistic things. I think that I think we know say it could be interesting, especially, but yeah, stones just, you know, stones or and something nice to open it up and see what people come up with.

136
00:10:20,670 --> 00:10:29,310
Yeah, I agree. I think the thing is, is that like with any sort of installation right like you have to make sure there's a whole bunch of safety.

137
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:35,990
So the trees are pretty self-standing. I mean, self-supporting, you know, for example.

138
00:10:36,590 --> 00:10:44,130
But what is the city's view, I wonder, on, like, something like the Mosaic in terms of maintenance, et cetera?

139
00:10:44,130 --> 00:10:52,210
Yeah. We'd probably have to talk to our public works department about that if the commission was going to open it up to something like that.

140
00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:58,870
Yeah. I was thinking that even if it were mosaic, we're still talking about the trees

141
00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:03,090
and the snags, because that's kind of what the whole purpose is. I was thinking it would

142
00:11:03,090 --> 00:11:09,690
be somehow embedded in the tree trunk. And then, just like the snags, though, it's kind

143
00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:14,830
of left to naturally weather and deteriorate. So I don't think anyone would be out there

144
00:11:15,330 --> 00:11:20,690
polishing it off or doing anything to it. My concern would be as it deteriorates,

145
00:11:20,690 --> 00:11:24,850
Is there stuff falling? Is there, that's, you know, if it's a lot of stuff is

146
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:27,690
attached and then it's crumbling, that would be fine.

147
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:31,050
Sure, sure. Depending on what.

148
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:37,430
Yeah, kind of cool if we were going to do something like that to look at our other parts

149
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:41,810
and maybe, because we want to, we have, I think there were, if I remember right,

150
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:47,250
this was about a year ago, I think there were seven parts in the city and I visited all of them

151
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:52,850
And they're all have all have walking trouts and none of them have any would be kind of cool to be able to say

152
00:11:52,850 --> 00:11:59,510
This is our mosaic park. This is our snag park. This is our nice, you know, and and we can have a whole

153
00:12:00,290 --> 00:12:01,550
because that would be

154
00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:07,970
You know something that people might a destination right you kind of like the big hobbit things, you know

155
00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:08,510
Oh, yeah

156
00:12:18,660 --> 00:12:20,460
So, you know, a troll or a haunt is, you know.

157
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:24,420
Well, you know, even like Nora was saying, if it was done with stones,

158
00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:30,740
and that's having two of them as it naturally deteriorated, you're back to natural elements.

159
00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:34,840
So, you don't have shards of glass or anything like that that people would have to repart.

160
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:35,880
Yeah.

161
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,440
Yeah, like stone or mosaic.

162
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:39,660
Stone would be nice.

163
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,300
Like you're just saying one of those, like when you go to the beach and people go,

164
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:48,860
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. And those would be very natural, right?

165
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:57,900
Or even like garden some kind of, like a natural. So, I really like your idea of separating them out.

166
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:05,140
But if we did that, would we want to define it or just let it naturally be defined by what shows up?

167
00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:09,720
Well, I don't know. I guess let's talk about conversation.

168
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:16,100
Do we want to have things for each owner, or do we want to open it up for, you know,

169
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:21,320
not going to be kind of cool to open it up for different art cases at different parks?

170
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,100
If you have a thing, though, do we need to clear that with ten-met parks?

171
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,240
You know, though, since we don't have any offers at all, since no one is interested,

172
00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:34,100
I kind of think we need to leave it open.

173
00:13:34,260 --> 00:13:38,060
We can't, you know, even though we have no offers, here's what we want in this park.

174
00:13:38,060 --> 00:13:44,440
So let me see what we get and then just let the artists sort of have to find that maybe right. Yeah

175
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:49,080
Right. I think I'm as far as this they're separate. Yeah, okay

176
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,620
I haven't I haven't been to any of the parks. So

177
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,120
I have been here for almost nine years. I've got value, but it feels new so

178
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:02,760
There's a great shoot. I wish I'd remembered the streets

179
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,980
There are some great parks. Well, there's just even

180
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:09,560
and sound music part right at the end of sound music.

181
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,240
I thought that was the right thing for the first time.

182
00:14:12,580 --> 00:14:15,160
Yeah, but you know, people walking down to seven seas,

183
00:14:15,460 --> 00:14:17,180
you know, like, you know how to like that,

184
00:14:17,340 --> 00:14:19,240
but it's right, you know, seven seas is,

185
00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:21,200
yeah, it's that little park up to the right.

186
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,880
There's, yeah, there's all sorts of parts

187
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,620
and they're all walkable and they're really kind of cool,

188
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,720
but then it'd be kind of really fun

189
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,000
to have to come out of pieces.

190
00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:32,940
It's like summer projects.

191
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:33,860
Yeah.

192
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:53,960
So does this the money that's put aside because I forget when we put this money aside if they've had any sort of limitations on could it be what you know does it have to be an installation kind of be some sort of creative invent or something like that.

193
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,860
Well, I think it's not for an event, but it is for any kind of installation in those.

194
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,940
Forest is my understanding, so it's been focused on carvings, but it could be embellishment, but

195
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:13,900
it's not like to have an art show in the forest. It's not for that. It's for a certain piece of art.

196
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:19,960
Yeah. Okay, I was just thinking more of like, I know of events that have not events, but just

197
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:26,840
flower installations in forests. So you put, you work with somebody like the West Sound Flower

198
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:34,400
sure there are a lot of flower farmers in this area and, you know, in the summer they've got an

199
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:42,280
abundance of, you know, and if you had them come in and do flower installations and trees, I mean,

200
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:48,220
I've participated in something like that before and then it just naturally decays. It's not like

201
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:54,880
you'd have to take it down, you know, and some of them, even if they're dry flowers,

202
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,020
to be quite beautiful, but I don't know if that's outside what you're thinking or whatever, so just

203
00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:06,900
an idea. Do you know anything about glass flowers? About what? Do you know anything? No, not glass,

204
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,020
real flowers, where they would come in. There's like, you know, 15 or 20 flower farms in this area.

205
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Yeah, there's some pots. And actually, I don't know many, this is what my books about,

206
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,640
that's why I know about it. But there's actually, if anybody's ever heard of farm girl flowers,

207
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:35,620
there are headquarters down here on the peninsula. Yeah, so they move from San Francisco to here.

208
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:45,780
So there's lots of resources to do something like that in the summer that could be, it's not

209
00:16:45,780 --> 00:16:50,240
really an event but it could be like an installation for and you just leave them

210
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,300
there and let them decay but I don't think it would cost this though but it's

211
00:16:55,300 --> 00:17:00,360
kind of making me think when you say I mean to be honest I'm like you I've been

212
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,560
here diners and you think I've been in one of the you know and that's kind of

213
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:11,280
sad because there's a reason or a reason to go you know to check something

214
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:11,700
Yeah.

215
00:17:11,740 --> 00:17:12,720
I would not be kind of cool.

216
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:14,280
Oh, is this the flower?

217
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,600
Yeah.

218
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,640
I love that idea.

219
00:17:17,020 --> 00:17:17,940
I would be natural.

220
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:18,820
Yeah.

221
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:23,320
I can send you examples of, you know, what's been done in other places.

222
00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:24,100
Okay.

223
00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:24,860
Yeah.

224
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,660
I seem to remember that we discussed that the 7500 was to go to one artist.

225
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,700
Is that correct?

226
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,240
I think that was for the person crying for a second.

227
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,640
For what it could be and we kind of while we were looking for proposals. So, yeah

228
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,820
Depends on what what the proposals were somebody might have said here

229
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:53,960
I can create this for three thousand and somebody might have said I can create this for two thousand and you know

230
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,660
So it really depended. I think on what came in

231
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:58,840
Okay

232
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Yeah, I guess it's like if somebody came in with mosaic and said oh, I could do that for $3,500

233
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,400
Right, yeah

234
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,860
then you could accept multiple applications.

235
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,180
It's the forest. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot of sunshine, but when you were talking flowers,

236
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:25,760
I've seen really beautiful plantings of flowers that are in a design or a shape of something,

237
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:29,980
but they generally do much with shade of the forest.

238
00:18:29,980 --> 00:18:31,800
They're all shaped loans.

239
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,240
Yeah, you could plan in an interesting way.

240
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,740
Coley is especially.

241
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,980
Yeah, they don't look pretty.

242
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:43,440
They have a big design, but just a lot of plans.

243
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280
I mean, in kind of installations, I've seen two,

244
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:48,600
whereas they just kind of go,

245
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,620
I didn't make it more like a fairy forest.

246
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Like, do you know what I mean?

247
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:56,320
Like it's not just put a heart in there or something.

248
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,660
That's great too,

249
00:18:57,660 --> 00:19:02,420
but they kind of make it like exploratory and little kind of, you know,

250
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:12,340
tuck this in a snag here and that in a snag there, you know. And it's not made the last, right? So

251
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:16,820
it doesn't necessarily matter that there's not a lot of snags because... Right, right.

252
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:21,480
Well, would it be better to say if we were going to go down this route that

253
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,380
that any art would need to be self-sustainable

254
00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:28,880
and to not put labor onto the city, would that do it?

255
00:19:29,180 --> 00:19:33,360
Yeah, I'll have to look at what the contract says right now.

256
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:38,280
I'll have to see if there's anything about maintenance.

257
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:40,940
I would assume that it's not.

258
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:44,400
I would assume it's a hands-off type of a thing.

259
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:47,340
So I'd have to confirm that.

260
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Yeah, that's a good question.

261
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,160
But yeah, it's fine.

262
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,580
It's fine too.

263
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:50,120
Yeah.

264
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:59,980
Yeah, I forgot that when I went out to the different parks looking for snags, I created a report and I will try to find it.

265
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,540
That was like a year ago.

266
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,700
Yeah, that's why I was told more.

267
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:06,760
Well, try to find it because I've had pictures of all the different parks.

268
00:20:06,820 --> 00:20:07,580
That would be great.

269
00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:09,140
So I'll try to find it and send it.

270
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:11,160
Have you all been to the different parks before?

271
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,560
I have questions.

272
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:16,580
Okay, you're the best one of them.

273
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:21,260
I have to lay across the street from the sound.

274
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,560
That's the one that's kind of the hot part.

275
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,940
Yeah, the sound part, sound you purse the hot one right now under a lot of discussion.

276
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960
Was it difficult to take about how to mention. Yeah.

277
00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:41,180
But they're also talking about what to do in that house, right? Yeah.

278
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,660
There's a house somewhere.

279
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:46,200
Yeah, I didn't know there was either.

280
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,160
Yeah, so far and I don't know. I've never been to that part.

281
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,960
I don't even see it.

282
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,880
Yeah, the sound you guys. Yeah.

283
00:20:57,420 --> 00:20:59,540
I have to go walking down there. Yeah.

284
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,140
You know, when you were talking about obits and trolls,

285
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,100
but I've seen those little fairy houses too.

286
00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:08,460
And those can be really cool. Like the moss for the room.

287
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:12,380
We've been giving him a lot of bark and all that, and then touch those up, and that's, you know.

288
00:21:12,380 --> 00:21:17,880
That would be a sweet idea too, just to, like, ask people to do a fairy house contest.

289
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:19,240
That's probably a good idea.

290
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:19,880
You know what I mean?

291
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,140
I mean, when you were saying they don't have carvers, but I would think there are people that probably either

292
00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:29,880
they wouldn't do that or wouldn't do that, and that would be a fun thing.

293
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,800
If there were 10 fairy houses in the, and then, you know, you walk around and look for them.

294
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640
I would think kids would like that and adults would like that.

295
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:49,160
In the heart there is a tree and it looks like an old man in the trunk and it looks like it has two

296
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,860
eyes and a big nose and kind of a smile and I think that it's a family that does exactly that.

297
00:21:54,980 --> 00:22:00,380
They've created this little fairy and all on their own and every time I walk my dog through

298
00:22:00,380 --> 00:22:06,360
there it's changed so I'm filming it's it's kids you know parents and their kids

299
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,740
that go and change it all the time and a Christmas time I'll go to the dollar

300
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:14,980
store and kind of add to it you know because I like I thought oh wouldn't

301
00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:18,780
it be fun if you were a kid something you know changed and then something new so

302
00:22:18,780 --> 00:22:22,660
I do that regularly but it is really cool because it the trunk of the tree

303
00:22:22,660 --> 00:22:27,670
looks like this old man in the tree it's really wild and they yeah it's

304
00:22:27,670 --> 00:22:34,310
Grandview Park. But yeah something like that in a park with me. Yeah so Sonia with the fairy house

305
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:41,830
I do know a fairy not smart essentially he was he was at the our summer art art festival two years

306
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:48,870
ago. He was so popular and he's the nicest guy he just he just pulled back from doing festivals

307
00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:58,190
because they were just too stressful for him, which I understand. But he, I mean, he's amazing.

308
00:22:58,590 --> 00:23:03,190
And I guess the thing would be, if we did that, could we get them high enough so people wouldn't

309
00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:05,450
steal them or whatever? Right, right.

310
00:23:08,090 --> 00:23:13,270
But I mean, the snags are high, right? If you put them on

311
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:17,950
top of snags. I think it just depends. I think some of them are, some of them are lower.

312
00:23:17,950 --> 00:23:23,910
Yeah, but that is true. I mean, I guess you do always have to worry about theft, but it's just it's like the idea of these little

313
00:23:23,910 --> 00:23:25,330
various things, a lot of that.

314
00:23:25,330 --> 00:23:26,450
I love that, doesn't it?

315
00:23:26,610 --> 00:23:29,850
I think that's really sweet. I think that's great.

316
00:23:31,030 --> 00:23:36,490
And a little more, you know, and it would naturally decay, it could naturally decay.

317
00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:40,570
And you could secure them in there. I mean, you could nail them in.

318
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:41,490
Yeah, that's true.

319
00:23:42,370 --> 00:23:42,850
It's true.

320
00:23:43,930 --> 00:23:45,690
Yeah, that would be great.

321
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:45,750
Okay.

322
00:23:47,310 --> 00:23:49,670
Do you want me to reach out to the fairies?

323
00:23:51,610 --> 00:23:55,310
I'll let Ireland speak. It's kind of in your project, but you know.

324
00:23:56,250 --> 00:24:01,330
Yeah, I think we just have to determine what we do at a brand new or if we move it into the park.

325
00:24:02,110 --> 00:24:06,670
Well, let me reach out to him and see if he's interested in putting in a response.

326
00:24:07,030 --> 00:24:07,770
Because there's a limit.

327
00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:09,730
Then you tell me.

328
00:24:10,330 --> 00:24:18,330
There's a really cool park. You can't move in every crossroads. It's over. I'll darn it. But it's a rather large park.

329
00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:27,930
There's mainly park and we walk all through it. It would be really cool for that because it gets some of the sun in it.

330
00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:35,750
And it would be really, that would be, it has a little bridge. You know, we go over a little lake and it would be really kind of cool.

331
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:38,590
That would be smart. I would think that would be really neat.

332
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:44,030
And I guess the other thing we would have to check on, though, is that May 1st expiration date.

333
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:48,730
Yeah, we'd have to restart the recruit.

334
00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:55,570
And we'd want to change the language because right now it's only referring to SNACs and Psygram and Forest Park.

335
00:24:55,970 --> 00:25:04,410
So, yeah, you'd have to just basically let me know what kind of art and what park and if you want specific themes,

336
00:25:04,410 --> 00:25:08,010
then we want to include that in our request for proposals.

337
00:25:12,940 --> 00:25:18,040
For initial funding and initial putting it out there, do you want to keep it Grandview

338
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,260
or do you want to add some park to it?

339
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,460
Don't have any SNAG artists that are coming forward.

340
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:31,660
If you wouldn't mind putting it in, but maybe we make it a grander park.

341
00:25:32,220 --> 00:25:37,240
If a SNAG artist would go to Grandview, and the other artists would go to another

342
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:37,820
park.

343
00:25:37,820 --> 00:25:45,160
Yeah, I don't mind putting it in the newsletter, but I will tell you with our constituency you're

344
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:58,240
not going to get any snags, so I would say that if you brawned it, like with mosaics

345
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:11,200
or, you know, houses or ideas for, you know, nature friendly installations that you would

346
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,940
potentially get some people that way.

347
00:26:19,650 --> 00:26:25,390
So right now we say artistic carving and or embellishment of select three states.

348
00:26:28,030 --> 00:26:28,270
Yeah.

349
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:43,470
Well, well, I think embellishments are rather blind time. Don't we need some suggestions and parentheses maybe, you know, or maybe examples of photos, photo examples of what's been done or something.

350
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:49,150
Well, if we're talking a fairy park, very dark park.

351
00:26:50,050 --> 00:26:53,290
Oh, I'm sure that we could Google fairy garden park. Can we look?

352
00:26:53,290 --> 00:27:03,480
Yeah, and I can look as well, first of these symbols too, and I'll send them all to you,

353
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:06,140
whatever I find, and then get some feedback.

354
00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:12,630
Well, then it sounds like we want to somewhat

355
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:21,490
broaden this statement of artists meeting, and then, Caroline, if you want to put thought into

356
00:27:21,490 --> 00:27:24,530
to what other park you might be thinking about.

357
00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:28,510
Yeah, I'll find that report and I'll resend it to everyone.

358
00:27:29,950 --> 00:27:30,850
That would be great.

359
00:27:31,530 --> 00:27:33,750
And along with his address.

360
00:27:34,510 --> 00:27:38,010
So I didn't want to, you know, see if it's true life.

361
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:43,790
I mean, you could do a whole thing around this, right?

362
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:48,430
Tie it with, depending on which park you did it,

363
00:27:48,510 --> 00:27:50,250
you could tie it with chop the harbor.

364
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:57,850
right you know if you did the sound view part it'd be and then go visit the the ferry installations

365
00:27:57,850 --> 00:28:03,870
yeah chopper right it's all walkable and right the city would love that i know right here

366
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,400
we go

367
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,840
can you even find key elements of a fairy garden bar

368
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:15,540
A.I. spit out.

369
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:21,760
This would be so sweet.

370
00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:22,800
That's such a good idea.

371
00:28:24,860 --> 00:28:25,920
It's really exciting.

372
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,400
Thank you.

373
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,920
Oh, yeah.

374
00:28:29,180 --> 00:28:29,300
Yeah.

375
00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:31,580
I mean, that is wonderful.

376
00:28:36,270 --> 00:28:36,530
All right.

377
00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:38,810
Well then, let's try it for next meeting.

378
00:28:39,090 --> 00:28:42,330
Let's try to think about broadening that definition and then

379
00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:43,870
pair with a few things about parks.

380
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:45,870
And

381
00:28:49,290 --> 00:28:51,150
we can get that done at our next meeting.

382
00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:57,570
Yeah, and now it's kind of the season to do it.

383
00:28:57,910 --> 00:28:59,490
I know, we got to hurry up.

384
00:29:02,550 --> 00:29:04,990
Chop the harbor in August 15.

385
00:29:05,470 --> 00:29:06,790
I think it's at the end of summer.

386
00:29:07,470 --> 00:29:07,750
Okay.

387
00:29:08,550 --> 00:29:09,450
So it gives you some.

388
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:10,530
We might have time.

389
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:12,210
Okay.

390
00:29:13,630 --> 00:29:14,950
Chop the harbor as well.

391
00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:22,510
August 15th. What is it? Oh, it's drawing something. Oh, chalk. Yeah, I thought you said chalk.

392
00:29:24,410 --> 00:29:26,530
We're going to look at you on the previous one.

393
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:30,170
Logging, logging events. That's very interesting.

394
00:29:31,950 --> 00:29:33,690
Chalk is a harbor, I totally know it.

395
00:29:37,030 --> 00:29:42,070
All right, that sounds good then. Neurogon Park and expand the definition for the next 10.

396
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:48,950
It's not on the agenda, but just to touch back on it for creative endeavor, France.

397
00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:59,770
Any comments or things that you felt didn't go well or that you'd like to see change in the application for next year?

398
00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:05,160
Let me just say, thank you for our work.

399
00:30:06,820 --> 00:30:07,020
Just

400
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:28,060
to have to do with the application, but Tiffany gave us the charts of like 23, 24, 25, what had been given, who applied, and everything. If you could make one for 26, I think there was a very helpful message.

401
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Yeah, absolutely. And then I'll probably, I'll do that as I'm doing the website when I have time to do the website.

402
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:45,500
I would really like to see us insist that people give us a full budget, like I was saying

403
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:53,140
at that last meeting, instead of just a little list of what they're planning to buy, because

404
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:58,000
it really makes a difference if they're going to be getting a lot of grants from other places

405
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,800
are flying then we would know really without that knowledge not that these

406
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:11,520
people are going to be doing something unethical but there is a potential they

407
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,000
could be receiving a lot of funding from a lot of different organizations that we

408
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,640
would never know what we're spending that money on ethical yeah but if we're

409
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,220
asking are you saying like doubling like take like doubling the grants so same

410
00:31:24,220 --> 00:31:38,620
Yeah, like from setting the same documentation to to like multiple organizations who are okay. Yeah, just we need to say a budget includes all of your income potential income and all of your expenses.

411
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,180
So we can.

412
00:31:42,180 --> 00:31:48,700
I'm not sure, I mean, you have to check with how, I mean, I'm not opposed to that, but

413
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:56,180
I'm just saying I think I would check how other organizations do it because as a non-profit

414
00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:59,600
you might not have to do that or, you know, it all depends.

415
00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:06,240
I used to do grants and development, so yeah, we used to do that for non-profits.

416
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:07,260
Yeah.

417
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,700
And what about since that these are small grants, is there an industry in small and

418
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:10,860
large?

419
00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:21,040
I don't think that it's an issue to be asking if they're expecting to get a grant from somebody.

420
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Don't we have a question?

421
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:24,220
Yeah, we have that on there.

422
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:30,860
But I don't know if it asks about how much or it just says, I think it just says,

423
00:32:30,940 --> 00:32:32,520
You receive funding right?

424
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,620
Right, it's a pretty simple.

425
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:36,360
Yeah, it's not going very deep.

426
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,480
Excuse my ignorance.

427
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:46,560
Do we frown upon it? Do we only expect it? No, it's not at all. Oh, does it? Does it inform it? Yes, it's more information. More information.

428
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,540
I have to ask you, are you still writing grants?

429
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:52,320
No.

430
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,240
Nice. That is a smelly smell. It really is.

431
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,120
I'm looking for a grant writer.

432
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:11,600
I used to write them for the singing group that I'm in and to come up, but we would apply

433
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,460
for multiple grants.

434
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,420
I mean, they were very big, but we would apply for multiple and our budget was our budget

435
00:33:18,420 --> 00:33:23,180
and if we got the grant that helped us meet the budget and if we didn't get it, we had

436
00:33:23,180 --> 00:33:23,320
to.

437
00:33:24,020 --> 00:33:31,980
No, there's no problem in getting tons of as much money as you would try for.

438
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,360
It's just the knowledge.

439
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:37,160
You just want to see those figures and you want to see where it's coming from or eventually

440
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:37,940
yeah I get that.

441
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,880
Are sponsorships different from grants?

442
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Yes.

443
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Yeah.

444
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,180
Okay.

445
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,500
So if you get a sponsorship from a business.

446
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:48,140
Typically there's nothing involved in that.

447
00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:51,720
There's no springs or it's just right.

448
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,740
Right, it's like a, you know, well, you promise they're going, they're going, right, right.

449
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,040
Versus the grant where there's reporting involved.

450
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:10,860
Well, we had a couple of applications that didn't have much at all about what they were going to spend the money on.

451
00:34:11,020 --> 00:34:12,960
It's kind of a broad category.

452
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:17,040
And I think that was $1,500 for supplies or something like that.

453
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,080
Yeah, and it's like what supplies or what, yeah.

454
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:26,960
I guess I don't mind a little bit more detail, but I feel like the grants aren't that big

455
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,480
and we're supporting local projects.

456
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:36,280
I guess I wouldn't want to be nickel and diming somebody on the money, and also that's not

457
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,200
our responsibility.

458
00:34:37,540 --> 00:34:41,920
That goes to the city because the city is the one that handles the finance and not

459
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,240
us.

460
00:34:42,820 --> 00:34:46,960
So if there were, I verify that they've used the funds correctly, not you.

461
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:53,400
Right. So we just make a suggestion that we'd like to see that get the money, but the city handles that

462
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,880
Actually, and if they don't meet that they won't get reinterested. But in their final report

463
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,020
Don't they have to have an accounting and patty stuff? Oh, oh, yeah, I haven't seen me ask you to. Yeah

464
00:35:04,340 --> 00:35:07,940
Sorry, I've seen paid invoices. Yeah, I need proof that it was paying it

465
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:11,500
I need proof that it was spent that way. Yeah, that's someone who wrote that file

466
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,080
On vacation last year, because I didn't realize it was due, but it was due.

467
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,040
Yeah, it takes a while, but it does.

468
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:25,640
Yeah, the bigger projects like it, it's a lot of paperwork that comes through the door.

469
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:28,720
They get reversed for their time, though, also, right?

470
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:36,500
You can use, you can include, you know, volunteer losses as time for reimbursement, yeah.

471
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:39,680
Oh, I didn't know that.

472
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:51,820
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just have to provide volunteer logs, something that shows. Yeah. Yeah. We're 100% volunteers. Yeah. That's probably really easy for you.

473
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:03,720
Yeah.

474
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:13,440
We're almost like to, not that everybody volunteers, but it's just hard to get people to log their hours. Yeah. Yeah. Which you're shaking your head. Yeah.

475
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:15,020
Well,

476
00:36:18,130 --> 00:36:30,290
one thing we did talk about last month also was to try to get all of us individually to go to more of these activities that we're hoping to find.

477
00:36:30,290 --> 00:36:35,210
Yeah, we're gonna have a list of dates that they have.

478
00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:36,850
That's the website when I went BS.

479
00:36:37,090 --> 00:36:39,090
That's my goal, is to get that on to the website.

480
00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:41,730
We're just making more work for Tiffany.

481
00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:43,650
Yeah, right?

482
00:36:44,250 --> 00:36:45,550
It's on the list as well.

483
00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:47,970
Well, what website are you talking about?

484
00:36:48,050 --> 00:36:50,190
Your guys' website, the Arts Commission website

485
00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:53,910
I was gonna put just kind of the grants that were...

486
00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:55,370
I didn't even know we had the website.

487
00:36:55,870 --> 00:36:56,690
We have a website.

488
00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:59,470
That's how we all got contacted

489
00:36:59,470 --> 00:37:03,870
did when all that stuff went down was our names were all on one website together, one

490
00:37:03,870 --> 00:37:12,150
with age together. That's how we all were, yes. That's how they got our names. Let me

491
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:14,630
show you. It's on the city.

492
00:37:16,650 --> 00:37:21,450
It's a page on the city's phone. You go, this is a, well

493
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:26,030
she's doing that. Did you, did everybody ask for a grant, get a grant on the street?

494
00:37:27,950 --> 00:37:32,750
All but one, last one, who didn't get them around.

495
00:37:33,470 --> 00:37:39,930
It was a high school kid who wanted to take elderly patients around to different arts.

496
00:37:41,290 --> 00:37:43,410
It was only from a specific neighborhood.

497
00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:46,070
And it wasn't brought in on.

498
00:37:46,070 --> 00:37:47,850
It doesn't sound like a beginner project.

499
00:37:48,350 --> 00:37:52,810
It was a buddy project with seniors.

500
00:37:52,810 --> 00:37:57,170
years, you know, which we were all in favor of, and I think it sounds great, but I didn't

501
00:37:57,170 --> 00:38:00,110
really see, we didn't see it as a creative endeavor.

502
00:38:00,670 --> 00:38:05,550
You just went in for the senior ground, that's what I was suggesting, I think he did, he

503
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:06,750
went to Shea afterward.

504
00:38:07,490 --> 00:38:12,070
But if you just go to their main webpage and hover over the government, and these are

505
00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:12,830
all of the boards.

506
00:38:13,170 --> 00:38:14,070
Oh my goodness.

507
00:38:14,290 --> 00:38:14,790
Oh my goodness.

508
00:38:15,590 --> 00:38:18,130
And that's where, sorry.

509
00:38:18,370 --> 00:38:19,350
I did, I went off.

510
00:38:23,210 --> 00:38:25,530
What did I sign up for exactly?

511
00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:29,690
So down here is where I can get the names of the new commissions.

512
00:38:31,070 --> 00:38:37,610
Down here is where I can put the, you know, the recipients of the 2026 grants.

513
00:38:37,950 --> 00:38:45,730
Yeah, we were able to give most of the people that apply what they asked for just because

514
00:38:45,730 --> 00:38:52,550
We didn't have, we had $35,000, which was $5,000 more than we've had in the past.

515
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:57,350
And it didn't, our applicants didn't exceed that by a whole lot.

516
00:38:57,390 --> 00:39:01,530
So we looked at it and said, well, we might be able to give everybody today.

517
00:39:01,770 --> 00:39:03,290
That's great. It's pretty, pretty good.

518
00:39:03,370 --> 00:39:04,230
It was close.

519
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:04,590
Yeah.

520
00:39:04,810 --> 00:39:05,450
It was really close.

521
00:39:05,450 --> 00:39:07,250
It was like zero plus, but it was close.

522
00:39:07,730 --> 00:39:08,230
And it was worth it.

523
00:39:08,230 --> 00:39:19,950
We were you grant applications and the money is allocated by the city is or by you guys, we make a recommended allocation.

524
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:22,990
The budget is determined.

525
00:39:23,630 --> 00:39:25,670
That's around March.

526
00:39:26,050 --> 00:39:26,630
Okay.

527
00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:30,230
That we have that meeting and all applications are in.

528
00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:30,630
I see.

529
00:39:31,090 --> 00:39:31,150
Yeah.

530
00:39:31,550 --> 00:39:31,710
Yeah.

531
00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:34,410
So yeah, this year when I signed up for, but here I had.

532
00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:38,810
Yeah. So yeah, the city sets the budget and then you will make the recommendation within that budget.

533
00:39:38,930 --> 00:39:43,530
It's probably the largest thing, right, that we do.

534
00:39:43,810 --> 00:39:49,710
Yeah, so we have an orchestra concert at the end of May, but I'll be attending that one.

535
00:39:49,890 --> 00:39:55,150
So there's one of our first, uh, first creative endeavor, right?

536
00:39:56,110 --> 00:40:02,190
I think that was for last year's orchestra, I think, so that was coverage.

537
00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:03,470
But I don't know.

538
00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:07,910
I'll make her look back until we get started on the website.

539
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:11,970
And we'll invite you to the opening party for the National Fine Arts Show.

540
00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:12,950
Yeah.

541
00:40:13,450 --> 00:40:14,650
We would love that.

542
00:40:15,550 --> 00:40:20,390
Yeah, because I know you've got the art show coming up this summer, and then there's the net shed.

543
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:21,950
They're going to do the...

544
00:40:23,370 --> 00:40:23,970
That's right.

545
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:24,670
Oh, yeah.

546
00:40:25,610 --> 00:40:26,230
That's right.

547
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:28,830
That's right.

548
00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:29,270
That's right.

549
00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:34,830
And then is there something this weekend up on the grass and maybe something?

550
00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:36,630
That was last week.

551
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:37,350
That was last week.

552
00:40:37,530 --> 00:40:38,170
Oh, this last week?

553
00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:38,450
Yeah.

554
00:40:38,990 --> 00:40:40,190
So, geez.

555
00:40:40,450 --> 00:40:40,590
Okay.

556
00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:41,910
Yeah, there was something.

557
00:40:41,990 --> 00:40:42,610
There was an event.

558
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:44,810
I can't remember what it was for.

559
00:40:44,930 --> 00:40:45,590
Somebody mentioned something.

560
00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:48,610
Oh, I just thought that if the barbie bear or something.

561
00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:51,310
It was for this week.

562
00:40:51,530 --> 00:40:53,550
Yeah, it was like a craft bear.

563
00:40:53,810 --> 00:40:54,190
Was it?

564
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:01,610
or the one from the previous.

565
00:41:01,690 --> 00:41:01,930
Okay.

566
00:41:02,230 --> 00:41:03,810
Was that for Bees Bagels?

567
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:06,170
No, that was for two weekends.

568
00:41:06,430 --> 00:41:08,370
That was Mother's Day, that's about it.

569
00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:09,070
No, it was number two.

570
00:41:09,250 --> 00:41:09,670
Yeah.

571
00:41:10,010 --> 00:41:11,250
It was called Farmer Favorites.

572
00:41:11,530 --> 00:41:13,950
I don't know, but I have not just a fine word for it yet.

573
00:41:14,770 --> 00:41:17,110
Yeah, I wasn't in town, so I didn't go to that.

574
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:18,570
Did anyone go to that mother's day?

575
00:41:19,330 --> 00:41:20,090
So, there was.

576
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:22,430
It was over at Mother's Day weekend.

577
00:41:23,050 --> 00:41:23,970
Oh, the Bees Bagels?

578
00:41:24,050 --> 00:41:24,910
Yeah, Bagels.

579
00:41:25,130 --> 00:41:26,030
I drove by.

580
00:41:26,930 --> 00:41:28,750
And one of the artists of Powell was in there

581
00:41:28,750 --> 00:41:33,490
and she did very well. She's reasonably priced, so she sold out Saturdays.

582
00:41:33,630 --> 00:41:38,390
Oh, that's good. But I drove by, and it was about 10 tents.

583
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:40,770
Oh, okay. So not real big.

584
00:41:41,050 --> 00:41:41,630
Not real big.

585
00:41:41,930 --> 00:41:42,830
No, that's more than I thought.

586
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:45,170
Yeah, that's what I thought, too, which she sells.

587
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:52,170
She does miniature paintings, and she sells prints of them, so they're very affordable.

588
00:41:52,170 --> 00:41:56,530
You know, she don't want like those six by six.

589
00:41:57,270 --> 00:42:01,110
You know, she now like she frames them and stuff.

590
00:42:01,290 --> 00:42:06,190
I mean, she's been in our show on the Peninsula Art League wall and her work always sells.

591
00:42:06,810 --> 00:42:09,990
It's just there's something very charming about her work.

592
00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:12,890
And so she did very well.

593
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:16,790
But then I think they were like, it looked like there were about 10 booze there.

594
00:42:16,790 --> 00:42:27,950
And then the last one last weekend had about, I think, 25 foods and food trucks.

595
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:35,030
I think they had a little, the weather was kind of, it was always sort of like when you

596
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:36,110
do these outdoor things.

597
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:43,250
But I'm sure anything that's, you know, it's just as unlike any maid that I've

598
00:42:44,010 --> 00:42:47,610
Yeah, it's like the one thing that totally stresses all of us out.

599
00:42:48,570 --> 00:42:50,690
Well, not the one thing.

600
00:42:52,450 --> 00:42:53,370
One of them.

601
00:42:53,570 --> 00:42:54,070
One of them.

602
00:42:58,250 --> 00:43:00,830
But they really did a nice job.

603
00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:05,070
They had tables out, people sit and you say,

604
00:43:06,330 --> 00:43:07,890
That wasn't on the list.

605
00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:10,010
No, so who sponsored it?

606
00:43:10,010 --> 00:43:12,150
No, I think you guys sponsored it.

607
00:43:13,170 --> 00:43:15,350
We did the these bagels.

608
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:16,890
Well, the mother, they want that.

609
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:20,030
But I think that I don't think that.

610
00:43:20,030 --> 00:43:26,550
Yeah, because we, because I remember discussing it because the one that has been there for the last two years, they weren't doing it.

611
00:43:27,490 --> 00:43:31,210
She jumped in and this other person jumped in to replace that.

612
00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:36,170
So we didn't realize that we thought these bagels was taking kind of taking that place.

613
00:43:36,950 --> 00:43:45,090
Well, I think they both were kind of thinking somebody should jump in, and I mean, I don't know, but it just seemed like one weekend, I'm on the next.

614
00:43:45,230 --> 00:43:48,410
Right, right. You think they could buy them what they'd like, right?

615
00:43:51,110 --> 00:43:51,590
Interesting.

616
00:43:53,390 --> 00:44:02,670
But we love these bagels because they're supporting us in the summer festival to help feed the artists.

617
00:44:02,670 --> 00:44:05,190
Oh, that's nice. Yeah, so they're great.

618
00:44:08,930 --> 00:44:10,470
That's such an interesting place.

619
00:44:11,870 --> 00:44:16,730
When they're donating for the youth mental wellness summit, they're donating some.

620
00:44:17,450 --> 00:44:21,950
They do a lot to support the community. Yeah, they do. And the farmers market starts this Thursday.

621
00:44:22,410 --> 00:44:25,290
Yes, it's starting up, you know.

622
00:44:27,830 --> 00:44:34,010
Well, another thing that I'd like to talk about on our next month or put it on our next agenda.

623
00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:35,610
I

624
00:44:37,790 --> 00:44:42,090
still, I would like to see, well, I guess I have two different places, two places.

625
00:44:42,790 --> 00:44:49,010
One is signage and one is that talking about that love locks again because we've talked

626
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:53,990
about the city taking the locks off of the bridges because of the weight and all

627
00:44:53,990 --> 00:44:58,570
kind of thing from the bridges and putting up some sort of like a wire kind of a sculptor.

628
00:44:58,690 --> 00:44:59,630
Yeah, textures.

629
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,040
And Stephanie, our former commissioner, she had brought in some pictures and was all enthusiastic

630
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:11,240
about that. And I was saying, I'd like us to come up with either a letter or a proposal

631
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:16,640
or something to give to city council and say, we think it would be nice to do a love lock

632
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,700
sculpture and maybe have a plaque that has Stephanie and Joanne staying on it. Something

633
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:25,200
of, you know, and I know we named the creative endeavor grants after them, but I think it

634
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,260
because that's huge but just a nice plaque and they were both involved with

635
00:45:29,260 --> 00:45:34,140
them. I think that would be nice but I'd like us to proactively say to city

636
00:45:34,140 --> 00:45:38,240
council we think this would be a good idea. And then also that big art

637
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:40,960
installation that we talked about for the last two years you know the

638
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,780
medallions. So now it's in. So I walk by that the other day

639
00:45:45,780 --> 00:45:50,900
there's no sign that says what the name of it is. There's nothing and it

640
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:54,540
would be nice to have something that says here's what it is and then to

641
00:45:54,540 --> 00:46:00,660
have a QR code that says here are these different discs and it'd be nice to give

642
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:06,260
credit to the Arts Commission too you know where let's do that to show the

643
00:46:06,260 --> 00:46:07,400
involvement of the Commission.

644
00:46:09,940 --> 00:46:12,580
It's kind of like a rare if you're walking

645
00:46:12,580 --> 00:46:14,440
Yeah, I don't even know what direction it is.

646
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Yeah, it's that roundabout kind of thing over it.

647
00:46:17,780 --> 00:46:21,920
Yeah, it spins in and there's a little bit of a drive.

648
00:46:22,620 --> 00:46:24,200
But it's just you're walking down the sidewalk.

649
00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:26,340
Yeah, and then it's there.

650
00:46:26,620 --> 00:46:28,580
But there's no sign.

651
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,600
There's nothing.

652
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,000
It's just you kind of see it as you walk over it.

653
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,560
So is it in the, yeah.

654
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:41,920
So how to walk across the road to get to the middle

655
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,580
No, it's not about the sidewalk.

656
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,820
You walk right over it as you're just walking out of the sidewalk and voice along.

657
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:51,040
Oh, yeah.

658
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:52,820
Come on, guys.

659
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,520
I think it's longer.

660
00:46:59,280 --> 00:46:59,840
Oh,

661
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:02,040
sorry.

662
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,440
What budget does the lock thing come from?

663
00:47:07,020 --> 00:47:20,900
That's public works because that was their idea. They want to have something to put those lots up so that people don't think, you know, I love, you know, and I love it like we promote it, but just over here bridge.

664
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,680
So they made a presentation to us saying that they would like to do it.

665
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:28,960
It comes down to worker went to any further. Okay, that's even better.

666
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,400
budget and work plan so your request to council can be that they prioritize

667
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,700
that in the next work plan for public work. Okay. Did they get a proposal

668
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:44,300
where they wanted it located? They were talking about well they would they want

669
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:48,480
it where people are putting the locks and so the next one was like donkey

670
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,120
creek and there's that kind of that space where they could put it. They

671
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:57,740
also talked about the old ferry landing. Yeah, they don't pass there. But I think

672
00:47:57,740 --> 00:48:02,140
they just whatever one seems to be attracting the most lots is where they want it. But it

673
00:48:02,140 --> 00:48:07,880
and Donkey Creek seems like it would make some. Yeah. Yeah. Is there are there lots down in the

674
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,220
old period? I think a few. I think they keep cutting lots.

675
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:15,940
Yeah.

676
00:48:18,930 --> 00:48:19,690
And every once in a while

677
00:48:19,690 --> 00:48:23,150
there's some posts and somebody goes I can't believe they're cutting the lots off of the

678
00:48:23,150 --> 00:48:25,970
Can we sign down there to say?

679
00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:28,070
Don't put your lost picture down.

680
00:48:28,070 --> 00:48:28,630
I mean, yeah.

681
00:48:29,070 --> 00:48:31,010
If we have a place with us.

682
00:48:31,010 --> 00:48:32,230
Yeah, once we get it.

683
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:34,330
But sort of off there.

684
00:48:34,790 --> 00:48:34,910
Sure.

685
00:48:36,010 --> 00:48:39,670
And when there, you said there were examples of other sculptures that have been done.

686
00:48:39,690 --> 00:48:40,290
Yeah, Stephanie.

687
00:48:40,490 --> 00:48:42,690
And I've got pictures of her.

688
00:48:43,010 --> 00:48:46,590
One place, a big heart that was very nice.

689
00:48:46,730 --> 00:48:48,950
And one was like a fish kind of a thing.

690
00:48:49,090 --> 00:48:51,590
And yeah, there was some cool pictures.

691
00:48:52,990 --> 00:48:56,190
I'm sure, I'm sure that I, well, I'm sure I still have that.

692
00:48:56,550 --> 00:48:58,050
I wonder if you're my favorite.

693
00:48:58,690 --> 00:49:02,070
And I found that I'm not seeing this right now.

694
00:49:05,690 --> 00:49:06,630
Yeah, some of these.

695
00:49:07,350 --> 00:49:09,650
Again, I think, did you do this with the snakes?

696
00:49:09,970 --> 00:49:10,410
I have this.

697
00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:11,310
Oh, yeah.

698
00:49:11,590 --> 00:49:13,450
Yeah, I have your presentation on snakes.

699
00:49:14,010 --> 00:49:15,570
Oh, there you go.

700
00:49:15,910 --> 00:49:15,970
Yeah.

701
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,400
Which I thought you did a really nice job on.

702
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,100
Well,

703
00:49:29,950 --> 00:49:32,570
I have the proposal, but I don't have the pictures.

704
00:49:34,730 --> 00:49:35,570
Yeah, if you were.

705
00:49:37,490 --> 00:49:39,410
That was, that was for review.

706
00:49:39,570 --> 00:49:42,330
Oh, yeah, this was the two, she knocked Sam in.

707
00:49:43,470 --> 00:49:44,450
Oh, for my part.

708
00:49:46,690 --> 00:49:47,910
Oh, that's an incentive.

709
00:49:52,210 --> 00:49:54,590
Well, I suppose they did my scales.

710
00:49:54,910 --> 00:49:56,230
So, like,

711
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,000
it was a frame, like a wire framework.

712
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,020
And then, you know, just the open wires.

713
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:05,160
And then you put them together.

714
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:05,480
Yeah.

715
00:50:06,740 --> 00:50:10,440
I heard of members.

716
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,140
This project started when I was in McKinney, Brooklyn.

717
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:14,840
I picked it off.

718
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,200
So this is what's there now already.

719
00:50:17,420 --> 00:50:24,450
So this proposal for this.

720
00:50:24,910 --> 00:50:29,170
So where is it?

721
00:50:30,030 --> 00:50:31,390
I'm a little confused.

722
00:50:33,590 --> 00:50:34,410
That's great.

723
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:37,300
Public works.

724
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:40,160
I'm for the same, I feel like it was two years ago.

725
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:41,920
Do you think it was two years ago?

726
00:50:42,260 --> 00:50:43,160
Yeah, it was 2024.

727
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:44,860
It was two years ago.

728
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,820
Public Works, thank you to us.

729
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,160
That's great.

730
00:50:50,580 --> 00:50:52,680
That's what they were thinking about.

731
00:50:52,820 --> 00:50:53,380
That was cool.

732
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:53,900
Yeah.

733
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,020
That's great.

734
00:50:55,380 --> 00:50:56,760
It almost looks like I'm on air.

735
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:57,240
It is.

736
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:01,060
Oh, I see because it goes.

737
00:51:01,220 --> 00:51:02,980
Quite a popular thing to do.

738
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:03,520
Yeah.

739
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:03,620
Yeah.

740
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:04,620
Everybody.

741
00:51:04,740 --> 00:51:05,080
Yeah, sure.

742
00:51:05,220 --> 00:51:05,840
Lots of public.

743
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:06,440
Everybody.

744
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,220
Imagine a hair in Paris.

745
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:09,820
In the middle.

746
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,180
Yeah.

747
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:10,440
Everybody.

748
00:51:10,780 --> 00:51:10,900
Sure.

749
00:51:11,340 --> 00:51:11,740
Yeah.

750
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:12,040
Yeah.

751
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,340
There wouldn't be wires across there.

752
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:15,160
And then they'd hang.

753
00:51:15,860 --> 00:51:16,140
Right.

754
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,200
That's really cool.

755
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:17,620
Yeah.

756
00:51:18,020 --> 00:51:18,720
Somebody else.

757
00:51:18,860 --> 00:51:19,520
I'm a little confused.

758
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,160
So where exactly is it?

759
00:51:21,220 --> 00:51:22,180
They came to you.

760
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:22,760
This is.

761
00:51:23,020 --> 00:51:23,140
Yes.

762
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:24,180
So two years old.

763
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:24,440
Right.

764
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:25,360
So it's two years old.

765
00:51:25,540 --> 00:51:29,040
Public works was like, we think that, you know, we should do something.

766
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,240
we have some sort of a sculpture or something where people couldn't put their locks and we're like

767
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:39,000
what a great idea and we kind of got some pictures together but then it's never it's not on their

768
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,920
work plan if it's not on their work plan and it's not on their budget and it's not on the work plan

769
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:49,180
and that's that's where the hold up is right so would this be the work plan for 2027 yeah are

770
00:51:49,180 --> 00:51:53,540
they planning that now it'd be next year's work plan but I just thought the fact that they

771
00:51:53,540 --> 00:51:58,700
brought it up, not us. The fact that we have the two commissioners that were

772
00:51:58,700 --> 00:52:03,120
interested in it, that could put a little push behind it and maybe have them

773
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:09,540
decide to prioritize it and get it done. So what's this? What's the step to

774
00:52:09,540 --> 00:52:15,200
reinvigorate it? I think that that would be also along the lines of

775
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:23,600
suggesting to City Council doing a letter or a memorandum saying that we

776
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:29,740
recommended be put out there. Were they looking to our team to find an artist to

777
00:52:29,740 --> 00:52:35,520
create a design or what not to make it? Are they just considering it? A lot of ideas.

778
00:52:36,020 --> 00:52:43,860
Right. The first stop. Well I think what we've done what might be if I recall from

779
00:52:43,860 --> 00:52:51,240
this might be a bid for you or on Sonia, but they come for different things like the sidewalk thing.

780
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:57,140
And I don't know if you were on council then when they first came for that one.

781
00:52:57,580 --> 00:52:59,860
To us, I was on council.

782
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,720
You know, they do like the storm drains.

783
00:53:03,340 --> 00:53:03,520
Yeah.

784
00:53:03,860 --> 00:53:08,860
But then the actual getting it done is the part that doesn't seem to happen.

785
00:53:08,860 --> 00:53:14,120
You know, where everyone's enthusiastic, but then it doesn't get the place that I'm trying to judge.

786
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:20,520
We would, the Arts Commission would do a call for artists for them once they had it on their work plan.

787
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:29,000
So that's what we did for the embedded sidewalk, some other projects, you know.

788
00:53:29,580 --> 00:53:34,580
So if they, if they are budgeting now for 2027,

789
00:53:35,820 --> 00:53:39,360
There are budgets that are going to be starting soon.

790
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,280
Okay, so if we –

791
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:46,000
Now it sounds like now you'd want to say, okay, here we want to do this.

792
00:53:46,660 --> 00:53:51,960
We could get a – I mean, basically you just need to get a bit from somebody on what you think the project will cost.

793
00:53:52,740 --> 00:53:57,820
And then ask them – then you need to say, yes, we have –

794
00:53:57,820 --> 00:54:06,720
And do a call for artists. And here's our created schedule, right? And I'm just saying, because they would give you the budget, right?

795
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:14,140
But I think what we need to do, you know, get them to put it on their agenda. It's just, it's not on their radar right now. Yeah.

796
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:22,300
Yeah, that's why I would suggest either letter or memorandum to city council saying, we think this should be.

797
00:54:23,060 --> 00:54:26,920
Does it go to city council or does it go to city council and?

798
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,100
Well, city council sets the work plans.

799
00:54:29,940 --> 00:54:32,920
So you'd want the, yes, council sets work plans.

800
00:54:33,340 --> 00:54:39,100
So I would write the letter to the council and ask them to prioritize that on the work

801
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:39,840
and the public works.

802
00:54:40,220 --> 00:54:43,820
This would probably be something where you're coordinating also with the parks commission,

803
00:54:43,940 --> 00:54:45,020
because it's going to go into a park.

804
00:54:45,180 --> 00:54:48,280
So it might be some, there might be coordination between the commissions,

805
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:57,340
But I think a letter to the council asking them to prioritize an art project is a good

806
00:54:57,340 --> 00:54:57,580
idea.

807
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,900
Because then it would get it on their radar because right now it's just something they

808
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:04,900
mentioned and, you know, they've got other things they're focused on.

809
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:11,820
In the letter, do we offer suggestions as to what our ideas are?

810
00:55:12,340 --> 00:55:16,460
For instance, are we looking for a heart or are we looking, I mean, what are we

811
00:55:16,460 --> 00:55:23,760
asking them to do the budget for it? Put it in the budget? I think we're

812
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,220
asking for them to put it on their work plan and then when they put it on the

813
00:55:28,220 --> 00:55:32,340
plan and say we've got this much money then we could start talking about who

814
00:55:32,340 --> 00:55:36,320
would do it and and what would the design be but for right now it's not

815
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,940
even a rate of fashion and I mean we can you guys can put together a

816
00:55:40,940 --> 00:55:45,680
proposal or ideas but without knowing what the budget is what what

817
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:54,340
councilor with the city's willing to spend on it? Right. But I think it helps to give them an

818
00:55:54,340 --> 00:56:02,800
idea of what it would cost. So I think, you know, we need to include that. Here's what it could look

819
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,480
like. People don't, they can't imagine. So you're going to put these pictures in.

820
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:17,580
And, but I think it would be helpful to say that this could be a $35,000 project, you know.

821
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:23,080
I mean, when you put a sculpture in, to a public park, it has a lot of things that have that.

822
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:30,720
So, but it would probably be helpful, don't you think, to give them, like, well, yes, $35,000.

823
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,880
I guess I, well, if it were me, I wouldn't be talking money.

824
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,340
Yeah, because we're good. It's not even approved. It's not even I would just say to them

825
00:56:39,860 --> 00:56:44,460
We'd like to see you move forward with this and have them put it on their agenda. Then they say

826
00:56:45,060 --> 00:56:48,880
It's 15,000 or whatever the whatever they put in that. Yeah, then we know

827
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:56,780
So what is that deadline for sending them something? What is the budget? Oh, well, yeah, that's that

828
00:56:56,780 --> 00:57:00,840
I don't think I got it until next month. Yeah, you've got time. Yeah

829
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:08,620
Yeah, why don't I do a draft on the letter and then I'll just that he gives us an idea something and then we can all change it out.

830
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,760
Maybe you could send it around. Yeah.

831
00:57:10,820 --> 00:57:11,000
Yeah.

832
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:12,440
Do a draft.

833
00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:18,620
But I agree. We shouldn't have some sort of semblance of what.

834
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:19,860
Right.

835
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:21,720
We'll give you $5,000.

836
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:23,480
Exactly.

837
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:29,140
I think it's important to have a rough idea of what the cost would be because that will

838
00:57:29,140 --> 00:57:32,600
help them decide whether or not they want to put it on the work plan and whether or not

839
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:33,720
they want to budget for it.

840
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:38,800
I know I've asked this before and I am so sorry, I don't remember the answer.

841
00:57:41,220 --> 00:57:48,100
That teenager that they were going to create a sculpture, does anybody know if that ever

842
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:48,620
happened?

843
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:52,320
Yeah.

844
00:57:53,660 --> 00:57:55,300
So we didn't give them anything.

845
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:56,340
Oh, no.

846
00:57:56,620 --> 00:57:57,720
We just had to get it.

847
00:57:57,740 --> 00:57:58,300
That was just your.

848
00:57:59,160 --> 00:57:59,600
Okay.

849
00:57:59,940 --> 00:58:00,140
Yeah.

850
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,060
I was just going to, I was trying to figure out some sort of budget that

851
00:58:04,060 --> 00:58:04,660
we might have.

852
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:05,220
Okay.

853
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:11,340
And then I also would like us to put something to the city council

854
00:58:11,340 --> 00:58:12,280
about that.

855
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:16,700
I think it should have some sort of signage.

856
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:18,080
or any QR code.

857
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,300
Yeah, that seems right.

858
00:58:22,940 --> 00:58:25,740
But wouldn't it be cool if, again, if we

859
00:58:25,740 --> 00:58:29,360
had all these different parts and everything had a QR code,

860
00:58:29,540 --> 00:58:31,720
so you could go up to the website and you

861
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,740
could get there's an app or something.

862
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,580
So that's, oh, we're meeting this.

863
00:58:35,740 --> 00:58:36,660
It could be Harvard for the weekend.

864
00:58:36,820 --> 00:58:38,360
These are all the places we want to go.

865
00:58:38,820 --> 00:58:39,560
We're going to the parts.

866
00:58:39,820 --> 00:58:40,940
We're going to go to the local apps.

867
00:58:41,060 --> 00:58:42,840
And wouldn't that be kind of cool?

868
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:44,640
It's a great idea.

869
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,200
Yeah, the problem is that you have to have websites that the QR code takes you to.

870
00:58:48,420 --> 00:58:48,580
Yeah.

871
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,660
So someone's got to create that website, maintain that website.

872
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:53,320
It's just an app.

873
00:58:54,060 --> 00:58:55,100
What kind of an app?

874
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,900
Like, you would use an app?

875
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,780
Well, we would create an app.

876
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:00,200
Oh, yeah.

877
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,920
No, that's way beyond this app.

878
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:03,700
Okay.

879
00:59:03,980 --> 00:59:04,460
Capacity.

880
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:05,360
Okay.

881
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:05,760
Yeah.

882
00:59:06,420 --> 00:59:09,460
Yeah, especially, you know, maybe get somebody to volunteer.

883
00:59:10,580 --> 00:59:10,820
Yeah.

884
00:59:11,140 --> 00:59:11,560
Go on.

885
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:12,960
Is there a parts page?

886
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,920
Well, yes.

887
00:59:17,940 --> 00:59:22,520
But again, that was then, I mean, it can take you to a parts page, but that doesn't mean

888
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:27,240
that it's going to have all the information that you want about the, that's completely

889
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:27,760
different.

890
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,780
Now you're at, yeah, you're adding work to staff.

891
00:59:30,460 --> 00:59:31,740
No, it's just probably not.

892
00:59:32,780 --> 00:59:35,720
So even the QR codes we're talking about aren't going to happen.

893
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:37,080
It's got to take you to somewhere.

894
00:59:37,380 --> 00:59:40,560
And so who's going to maintain that website and who's going to create that website

895
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:49,420
who's going to... So, the whole tiny sign sounds like... Yeah. I mean, I don't know

896
00:59:49,420 --> 00:59:53,900
other cities that have that capacity. I don't know if they do. I've never, I

897
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:54,860
don't, I've never seen it.

898
01:00:00,970 --> 01:00:07,430
They have a walking tour. And it's like our signage that we have along the harbor with the pictures and the old houses and stuff.

899
01:00:07,530 --> 01:00:12,150
But they've got a QR code on each one of those and you can take the walking tour and just look at it on the phone.

900
01:00:12,450 --> 01:00:15,710
And it's great. And I think it would be pretty easy.

901
01:00:16,030 --> 01:00:19,250
Do they have a non-profit?

902
01:00:20,110 --> 01:00:20,930
I'm not certain.

903
01:00:21,730 --> 01:00:24,630
I don't know who does that. And I can take a look at that too.

904
01:00:24,850 --> 01:00:25,390
Where was that?

905
01:00:25,490 --> 01:00:26,510
It's great. It's endless.

906
01:00:27,090 --> 01:00:27,570
Edmunds.

907
01:00:27,570 --> 01:00:28,790
Kirkwood has one as well.

908
01:00:29,490 --> 01:00:31,790
I think I'm not Bellevue.

909
01:00:31,870 --> 01:00:36,090
But just every single sign, you know, the way we've got the signs already set up is that

910
01:00:36,090 --> 01:00:37,070
QR code on it.

911
01:00:37,190 --> 01:00:38,350
And then it's only four times.

912
01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:45,590
And it takes you like a city of Edmunds page.

913
01:00:46,270 --> 01:00:46,430
Yep.

914
01:00:46,930 --> 01:00:51,470
And it's all the different sites that you're seeing.

915
01:00:51,930 --> 01:00:52,190
Okay.

916
01:00:53,070 --> 01:00:55,270
And you don't know what department that's connected to.

917
01:00:55,270 --> 01:01:02,410
You know, I don't, but let me look into that. I wonder what that's, that's coordinated through. You know what I mean, right?

918
01:01:02,930 --> 01:01:03,710
Yeah, yeah.

919
01:01:04,850 --> 01:01:10,210
Or if it's staff or, you know, they might have a staff member who gets paid to do that kind of stuff.

920
01:01:10,210 --> 01:01:10,450
Yeah.

921
01:01:10,790 --> 01:01:11,830
You know, everybody set up differently.

922
01:01:12,490 --> 01:01:17,230
So, I mean, you should, you know, in some places, too, they have a Department of Tourism, you know, like.

923
01:01:17,390 --> 01:01:23,610
Yeah, I mean, they're, yeah, like, you know, well, that's most important for destination marketing.

924
01:01:23,610 --> 01:01:27,730
the chamber, would the chamber be up for something like that?

925
01:01:28,770 --> 01:01:30,110
Or is that more business related?

926
01:01:30,910 --> 01:01:31,750
Maybe there's more business.

927
01:01:32,790 --> 01:01:37,250
Well, they do, like for the last two years, they've done destination marketing.

928
01:01:37,850 --> 01:01:39,550
So visit Gig Harbor, that's all them.

929
01:01:40,610 --> 01:01:41,330
So, yeah.

930
01:01:41,790 --> 01:01:44,770
So they mentioned destination marketing stuff, the tourism stuff.

931
01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:50,090
So I don't know if that's something that they would...

932
01:01:52,290 --> 01:02:00,870
All right. Well, we should ramp it up. So, all right. So I'm going to draft a letter city council for love locks. Talk about signage.

933
01:02:02,510 --> 01:02:10,450
We want to expand the definition on the call for art. So, if anybody's got thoughts on that or wants to.

934
01:02:10,450 --> 01:02:19,150
I can, I can, I can, I'll send the report that I wrote for the brand new park, but I'll, I can again put a draft together and

935
01:02:19,150 --> 01:02:20,470
I'll talk about our, it's okay.

936
01:02:20,810 --> 01:02:26,010
And then if you want to narrow it down, you do want to think about another park or installation.

937
01:02:26,490 --> 01:02:31,310
Well, what I'd love is if some of you could visit the parks on that.

938
01:02:33,350 --> 01:02:35,470
Well, so we know what we're talking about, you know.

939
01:02:35,470 --> 01:02:42,130
And I'll, I can't remember on my report if it had actual addresses or not, but I'll

940
01:02:42,130 --> 01:02:43,490
check it and not have those.

941
01:02:43,830 --> 01:02:49,730
And then Tiffany, you're going to try to get the Creative Endeavor recipients their

942
01:02:49,730 --> 01:02:50,090
updates.

943
01:02:50,690 --> 01:02:50,790
Yep.

944
01:02:51,030 --> 01:02:55,010
And then next meeting, too, we can talk about just to kind of make sure that we've

945
01:02:55,010 --> 01:02:57,790
got events covered if people want to try to go to them.

946
01:02:58,110 --> 01:02:58,230
Okay.

947
01:02:58,750 --> 01:02:58,870
Yeah.

948
01:03:00,010 --> 01:03:04,010
Cover those so that we have a presence and can check out all of those things that

949
01:03:04,010 --> 01:03:04,750
we helped to fund.

950
01:03:04,750 --> 01:03:14,430
I'm kind of nice to be able to speak intelligent with him, but I don't know if everybody would tell me your name one more time.

951
01:03:14,730 --> 01:03:15,050
Laura.

952
01:03:16,590 --> 01:03:17,190
Sonia.

953
01:03:17,330 --> 01:03:17,770
Sonia.

954
01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:18,210
Deborah.

955
01:03:18,550 --> 01:03:18,730
Deborah.

956
01:03:18,930 --> 01:03:19,190
Suzanne.

957
01:03:20,070 --> 01:03:20,670
Carol.

958
01:03:20,910 --> 01:03:21,130
Carol.

959
01:03:21,930 --> 01:03:22,290
Robin.

960
01:03:22,570 --> 01:03:22,750
I doubt.

961
01:03:24,130 --> 01:03:24,610
Tiffany.

962
01:03:24,830 --> 01:03:25,210
Sonia.

963
01:03:25,950 --> 01:03:26,550
Tiffany.

964
01:03:26,910 --> 01:03:27,110
I know.

965
01:03:27,750 --> 01:03:29,230
Sonia and Deborah.

966
01:03:30,610 --> 01:03:31,210
Suzanne.

967
01:03:31,590 --> 01:03:31,890
Suzanne.

968
01:03:32,470 --> 01:03:32,770
Carol.

969
01:03:32,770 --> 01:03:34,710
Okay. Thank you.

970
01:03:35,090 --> 01:03:36,250
It'll take a little while.

971
01:03:37,290 --> 01:03:42,730
You know, I can memorize 30 kids' names in like two seconds.

972
01:03:43,410 --> 01:03:44,470
Do you want to do an extra?

973
01:03:45,670 --> 01:03:46,730
No, I haven't.

974
01:03:46,910 --> 01:03:48,230
I did it for a while for a little bit.

975
01:03:48,390 --> 01:03:51,970
I had an acting school in Los Angeles for 45 years.

976
01:03:52,550 --> 01:03:55,710
I ran for professional young actors.

977
01:03:56,690 --> 01:03:58,450
And I was talent manager also.

978
01:03:58,830 --> 01:03:59,270
Oh, wow.

979
01:03:59,270 --> 01:04:02,990
So I grew up in the entertainment

980
01:04:02,990 --> 01:04:05,410
industries. Performing arts is one.

981
01:04:06,150 --> 01:04:06,910
You and me both.

982
01:04:07,530 --> 01:04:11,750
I love performing arts.

983
01:04:13,070 --> 01:04:13,610
That's great.

984
01:04:14,250 --> 01:04:15,170
That's your bathroom.

985
01:04:16,270 --> 01:04:18,270
Oh, my bathroom is all performing arts.

986
01:04:18,590 --> 01:04:20,030
I don't know anything about art.

987
01:04:22,330 --> 01:04:26,270
My reason for joining this was

988
01:04:26,270 --> 01:04:32,530
was because I was going to get a little promulgable or even kind of, you know, community...

989
01:04:32,530 --> 01:04:34,430
We don't have a promulgable or anything.

990
01:04:35,750 --> 01:04:37,470
My husband has a good city.

991
01:04:37,510 --> 01:04:38,130
Oh, I know.

992
01:04:40,570 --> 01:04:43,330
I'm trying to, you know, I'm so a bit ready.

993
01:04:44,130 --> 01:04:48,530
We've worked much for an art channel, so you remind me of who's come to work.

994
01:04:48,530 --> 01:04:49,410
Oh, well, I see that.

995
01:04:49,730 --> 01:04:50,510
Nora is her name.

996
01:04:50,510 --> 01:04:51,130
Well, it's Nora.

997
01:04:51,250 --> 01:04:51,610
Oh, Nora.

998
01:04:51,990 --> 01:04:52,430
Yeah.

999
01:04:52,430 --> 01:05:00,590
But just remind me, they have to have their way, they're making some of things, and this is trying to find the hierarchy.

1000
01:05:01,130 --> 01:05:02,630
I mean, you said?

1001
01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:03,790
You said.

1002
01:05:04,570 --> 01:05:05,650
Oh my God.

1003
01:05:06,990 --> 01:05:08,110
All right.

1004
01:05:08,330 --> 01:05:17,330
So I'm going to say that we can still chat more, but I think that we accomplished all of our agenda items, and I think we can leave the adjournment.

1005
01:05:17,670 --> 01:05:17,970
Okay.

1006
01:05:18,330 --> 01:05:18,710
That's fine.

1007
01:05:19,110 --> 01:05:19,690
Thank you.

1008
01:05:19,870 --> 01:05:20,170
All right.

1009
01:05:20,170 --> 01:05:23,010
Thanks to me. Thank you, guys. Thank you very, very much.
