1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Okay, August

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,560
25th, Heritage and Arts Commission meeting has begun.

3
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:44,100
Should we do call the order and roll? Yes, I'll take the roll. Chair Gupta. Here. Vice Chair Fibosch. Here. Commissioner Etemade. Commissioner Fong. Commissioner DeMohika. And Commissioner Farron. Here. And Commissioner Noguez is absent at the moment.

4
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:51,500
Okay.

5
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,280
So there are oral communications, any oral communications?

6
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:00,810
Seeing none.

7
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:06,670
Okay. I'm going to give my chair a part.

8
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:10,450
As you can see, this is a, you know,

9
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:12,830
a kind of a slim agenda that we have this month,

10
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:16,910
and I'll tell you a couple of things that

11
00:01:18,050 --> 00:01:21,050
I took, you know, potentially word discussion items,

12
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:22,670
but I felt didn't need to be really.

13
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:27,210
But before I get into that, I would say that

14
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:37,750
But we, the people reception that we had earlier this month was really fun, and we had pretty

15
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:46,130
good turnout of the artists and their friends and family, and everybody really enjoyed.

16
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:53,590
There was a spirited kind of conversation in the room about 250th anniversary and the different

17
00:01:53,590 --> 00:02:05,830
facets of, you know, the country's birthday and all in all it was a success. Thank you to those

18
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:07,790
commissioners who were able to make it.

19
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:15,710
And we also have, I will give a special shout out to

20
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:24,850
Yaya, who is the hire from the ranch who has been incredibly outfall and I'm really

21
00:02:24,850 --> 00:02:30,010
glad we have him on board and a super nice wonderful guy.

22
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:39,970
Then I did speak to this is about concerning the October Native American event.

23
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:48,370
We were not able to get on the DITF agenda for their collaborative, you know, for the proposal for a collaboration.

24
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:57,570
However, I did speak to Holly Thier earlier and she is excited about that event.

25
00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:00,890
We kind of talked about the proposal and the budget.

26
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:08,210
We both kind of came to the conclusion that the free taco truck might be a little excessive.

27
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:11,850
and that is a big piece of the budget.

28
00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:13,270
That's a big expense.

29
00:03:15,510 --> 00:03:19,470
Instead, Marissa had suggested maybe doing the shaved ice truck,

30
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:26,350
and maybe we could get a food truck that people could, if they are hungry, buy food from.

31
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:30,950
And I think that that's a good idea.

32
00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:35,050
I think Holly being both on DITF and the Timber on Town Council.

33
00:03:36,670 --> 00:03:48,010
I think I had a point also that the free tacos is not really a needed thing for this kind

34
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:48,450
of an event.

35
00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:57,970
But that said, I'm happy to kind of revise the proposal with an alternative that we just

36
00:03:57,970 --> 00:04:12,090
I just mentioned and she is willing to take it up at the next DITF meeting, which happens to be usually right before the town council meeting and members of the DITF, of course, also sit on the town council.

37
00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:23,930
So ideally we will get some collaboration from them and if not, we can still do hold the event.

38
00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:32,790
But again, on a slimmer budget and without the expense of the talk or truck, of course.

39
00:04:34,110 --> 00:04:36,570
So that is my chair report.

40
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,720
To a fundraising event in Sausalito for the public and was astounded to see a long, long line for these fish tacos. And when I got up to get my, I wasn't sure if it was free or not, but two very delicious fish tacos for $10. And so just the concept of striking the happy medium where we're not cannibalizing our local restaurants who serve a really fine meal for a lot of price, but maybe something for

41
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,900
parents that don't want their kids to have sugar. So I know it was a really big hit last time.

42
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:41,380
So maybe there's a local provider. This was from a Sosalito provider,

43
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:49,160
Davy, Davy's like cafe, sandwiched cafe that's down there. But maybe there's happy medium

44
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:56,120
between the two. So that kids can, it was a big hit. I know that. But yet I was also surprised when

45
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,560
I saw that it was free here because I don't think there's an expectation that the town

46
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,920
is going to give away free food.

47
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,160
But to have a nominal, we don't really have fast food here in Tebron.

48
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:13,380
So if kids are hungry, parents, et cetera, there could be something ideally themed towards

49
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:16,480
what we're doing just for consideration.

50
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,720
I support that.

51
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:25,160
I was just thinking an easy number for a quick meal because parents like to come and have

52
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,520
the kids eat. But a reasonable one. I think some of the ones were like $16 for a little

53
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,540
plate. That's kind of an odd number. And you know, the shave eyes, I actually think that's

54
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:44,340
expensive. But you know, kids love it. But I think it's great that we could scale down

55
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:50,420
the expenses and still keep the same spirit of people having fun and, you know, an easy

56
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:51,840
denied out for the parents,

57
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,360
so worth exploring that we might want to put a small amount towards

58
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,160
refreshments.

59
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,540
I have some ideas that I can put together and send to the subcommittee that's handling

60
00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:05,320
this event.

61
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,260
Great.

62
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:13,160
And also we may want to extend the opportunity to our local restaurants to help click in and

63
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,700
promote them at the event.

64
00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:24,440
We have had food trucks raked in the back of the year, and I don't remember what was

65
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,460
the occasion, but it happens all over town.

66
00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:33,560
There's a gentleman that I've been calling me to ask about putting his food truck at

67
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,420
the ITF events, and I'm happy to give you his number, or we can reach out to him and see

68
00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:40,260
what he can put together.

69
00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:41,220
Well, let's do that.

70
00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:52,340
And then there are, as Chris mentioned, a couple of people in town that I'm thinking of also that maybe, you know, could do, you know, tacos and things like that as well.

71
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,680
We're getting down the road of a discussion item, so we should probably save this for an ad hoc committee meeting.

72
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Sounds good. Okay.

73
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Okay. Okay. So that's my chair report. Let's go on to the action items. First action item

74
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:19,520
is a discussion about public art and do you want a little staff report? I don't have a

75
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:27,260
written formal staff report, but the post commission has been busy going over the park design

76
00:08:27,260 --> 00:08:32,560
plans, so they haven't had a lot of time on their agendas for this particular item.

77
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,360
Their next meeting is September 15th, but I think they're going to be discussing the

78
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,600
sanitary pawns project at that time, but they may be calling a special meeting in October.

79
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:50,940
So I'm talking to David issue every day about when you can have 10 minutes on their agenda

80
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:58,700
to just and basically what they want is your proposal or the proposal and then you know offer

81
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,000
two to four locations that they can go through and look at like we already have the two locations

82
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,940
at the trolling park and south of nol but with all the scuttle but and chatter about

83
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:16,760
views and scenery and art that has been in the media lately we I was thinking that maybe you guys

84
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,980
could think about some other alternatives that you could run past post when you get the

85
00:09:21,980 --> 00:09:23,560
chance to get on the agenda.

86
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:35,740
Well, I think the public art that we have right now is done and it is kind of unseen

87
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:45,020
because dear away from everybody's eyes you have to go and find it if you know about it

88
00:09:45,020 --> 00:09:56,060
But this particular art of the birds, it is an art that has to be seen by everyone.

89
00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:59,920
We're not suggesting that it gets hidden away.

90
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:29,860
All the festivities and everything happens in downtown. So I think we should try to find this spot that it is visible when they come in. If they will always remember, they will come back.

91
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:40,600
and see it again. It is really a very wonderful way of having this public art. I was walking

92
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:55,820
around, I don't know, I wanted to invite somebody to walk with me. There is a palm tree on

93
00:10:55,820 --> 00:11:02,740
On the other side of Tebron Boulevard, right in the beginning, there's a palm tree.

94
00:11:02,980 --> 00:11:06,300
That it is a very well-known palm tree, it has a plaque on it.

95
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,860
Do you all remember that?

96
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:09,900
Okay.

97
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,460
Yes.

98
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:11,880
On Tebron Boulevard.

99
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,360
By the lagoon at point Tebron crossing the roundabout.

100
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Yes.

101
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:25,760
If you keep looking at it, there are spots that there is which flowers and things like that

102
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:35,160
on little boxes, cement boxes all along. So I was thinking maybe it could be in one of those.

103
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:46,820
It is right in the center of town and everybody can see it and admire it and it is not on anybody's

104
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:59,920
way. It is not a solid piece of art so that you can have complaints about. It is something

105
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:11,360
you can see through it. And it really raises everybody's attention and thoughtfulness about it.

106
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:31,040
Well, I'm just going to comment quickly. I think that's a good idea to consider placement in more kind of urban areas that are, you know, part of the urban landscape rather than in the just purely in the parks and the landscape.

107
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,440
I think it's a great idea, Jolly.

108
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:41,820
I'm sure the AdHot Committee can meet and maybe think about some other options like

109
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:49,900
the one that you've just suggested, and maybe before we make a motion to go forward

110
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:54,820
with that exploration, Victoria, do you have something you want to add?

111
00:12:55,180 --> 00:12:58,540
I just wanted to say that it's great that we're looking at different places.

112
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:04,780
I won't name the names, but I have spoken to people who absolutely do not want to at the shoreline park

113
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:12,320
No matter how great it is and I've also heard from my neighborhood people don't want to look down and South

114
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:19,800
No and see something sticking out such as the signs. I don't know. They were like the birds. In any case

115
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:28,240
I'm just sharing the what I've heard. I think it's a beautiful piece of art and I hope we could find some place for it

116
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,280
That would be a feeling to all.

117
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:39,220
I think it would be a shame to put it in the park and only a small amount of people and

118
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:48,140
the bicycle riders or the very runners or walkers can see, that's all.

119
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:57,940
And as far as that park in front, we are not going to touch that.

120
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,340
We've had artwork. They're very nice artworks.

121
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
But now we haven't been doing it past few years.

122
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,900
We haven't attempted to put anything.

123
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:15,060
But when you, that little green part right in front,

124
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,860
I think it is a really good place for it.

125
00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:22,180
That might be private property.

126
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,500
We'd have to look at the map.

127
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Yes.

128
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,340
But we can look.

129
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,120
We have to look into it.

130
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,340
Yes.

131
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,780
There was an email from the artist.

132
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:42,320
I don't know if she has actually given us a second or third place or not.

133
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:51,560
up. That is he may like. Yeah, she has not, but this item is for you guys as residents

134
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,680
and artists and people in the art world to think about locations that could work based

135
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,400
based on the feedback the town has received.

136
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:16,380
I am, but I need somebody else to either you or Arjun can take a look at. What anyone want to join

137
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:22,560
Jolly on an ad hoc for the next phase of this possible project.

138
00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:31,000
You're another one. You want to join Trish? You'd be good.

139
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,680
Yeah, you're good. Will you do it? Yeah.

140
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,020
Oh, that will be really nice. Yeah. I'll send you an email and suggest a couple of times.

141
00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:45,220
Yeah. And this is that from get out and look for spots.

142
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:49,560
Walk around and yeah. And we're trying to stay away from privately owned.

143
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:58,720
Yeah, businesses that yeah, let's find out about that greens if it belongs to town or not.

144
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:10,140
Okay. Well, great. So you and Jale then can kind of go forward with this. So I move

145
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:12,980
to create an ad hoc committee.

146
00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:24,330
Right.

147
00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:35,810
All right. Well, I move that we consider other possible

148
00:16:35,810 --> 00:16:40,070
locations for the Nikki, Donnie, public art piece.

149
00:16:40,510 --> 00:16:41,230
I second.

150
00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:45,510
All ideas are welcome.

151
00:16:46,830 --> 00:16:48,450
And all in favor?

152
00:16:49,230 --> 00:16:49,310
Hi.

153
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:49,930
Hi.

154
00:16:50,390 --> 00:16:50,710
So moved.

155
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:51,250
Thank you.

156
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:52,070
Thank you, Francisco.

157
00:16:57,740 --> 00:17:06,060
Action item number two are the artist applications for future exhibitions.

158
00:17:06,060 --> 00:17:24,880
I know that we have one from an artist who has shown in the past Revitie, as again, Revitie

159
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,520
not to sign.

160
00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:37,760
I'm not sure, I've spoken with her recently and I'm not sure exactly what her current

161
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:46,660
position is on her showing her work. So for the time being, I think we can leave her out

162
00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:49,500
of this discussion. It's very interesting work, though.

163
00:17:51,580 --> 00:17:53,780
She has very meticulously copied

164
00:17:53,780 --> 00:18:06,040
a Indian artist who is quite a famous Indian modernist, Johnny Roy, and she has meticulously

165
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:13,680
done these facsimile paintings of his, you know, kind of iconic works. And they are primarily of,

166
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:22,720
you know, domestic scenes, mothers, children, kittens, stealing prawns. It's a very,

167
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:31,200
he's a Bengali artist. I'm from Bengal myself, born and raised in Calcutta. And so he's

168
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,580
near and dear to my heart. But nonetheless, I think, you know, she's, she's

169
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:40,120
we're gonna series of these paintings. I think she's done about seven. So I think

170
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:44,140
but for the time being, I recently spoke with her and, you know, she wasn't

171
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:50,060
exactly sure whether or not she in fact wanted to show here or not right away

172
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:55,960
at this time. So for now, I think we can maybe leave her out of the current

173
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,060
discussion and move to the other artists who we have.

174
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:04,460
Exhibition exhibit number two.

175
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:15,420
May I just say one she has talked to me about this and she said that when she had her work here

176
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:25,380
they were not for sale at all. She didn't want her work to be sold but she said this artist

177
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,040
It's really very beautiful. And then I'm going to put them all for sale. And she mentioned that she doesn't like it to be downstairs. She prefers the upstairs gallery. And that is she personally talked to me. I think all of these are artists for I think all of these are for artists for exhibitions on the upstairs gallery, but that's that's fine. Let's move on to the second artist here.

178
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:39,100
Manuela. Right, we have it in the packet and this is the estate who is bringing the works

179
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:43,180
of this artist to our attention. Manuela Gemma.

180
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,040
I'm very interesting, interesting work.

181
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:55,600
I'm not aware of Venetian expressionism but I like the sound of that.

182
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:05,620
And I mean, clearly, you know, very impressive bio and really interesting work.

183
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:12,000
It's open for discussion.

184
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:19,900
So, have they come forward wanting to show you all of these applications for exhibition?

185
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:20,340
Yeah.

186
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,800
So, they have come here and asked for application.

187
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,040
They have emailed me and filled out the application

188
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,200
and submitted their work for your consideration.

189
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,840
And that's what we're reviewing right now.

190
00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:30,800
Oh, okay.

191
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:32,400
So may I ask something?

192
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,760
This is the state of Manuela Gema, this artist,

193
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,320
this is our hair work.

194
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,280
So who are the artists?

195
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,480
It's her estate.

196
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,720
It is Manuela Gema, that's the artist.

197
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,140
Because this is the state of Manuela.

198
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:53,240
So it's by hair.

199
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,620
The works are by her, but the application is being put forward by her estate.

200
00:21:58,940 --> 00:22:00,460
This works by her.

201
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,020
I don't know what the Tiberon connection is, other than the estate seems to be based

202
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:07,560
in Mill Valley.

203
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,520
And presumably these are for sale, I would think.

204
00:22:15,650 --> 00:22:22,450
I just want to point out that in the past, another estate situation came in, and at that

205
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:29,110
time to commission did not want to deal with, you know, someone's a state being secondary

206
00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:36,330
location for artists. So I just want to bring that up for consideration. If we're going

207
00:22:36,330 --> 00:22:42,150
to do that, I'm going to be a conduit for a lot of different states and collections.

208
00:22:43,170 --> 00:22:50,770
Yeah, that's a good point. Well, I mean, you know, it's very interesting painting nonetheless. And

209
00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:56,590
And, you know, I'm not, you know, I think it's worth for the discussion certainly with

210
00:22:56,590 --> 00:23:02,810
regards to whether we want to invite estates in like this to show, I think that's a good

211
00:23:02,810 --> 00:23:09,850
point because, you know, as somebody who works with estate appraisals and trust in estates,

212
00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:14,890
that's people are trying to find what do we do with our work, with the work, what can we

213
00:23:14,890 --> 00:23:15,390
do with it?

214
00:23:15,390 --> 00:23:18,150
and you don't ask me about that, right?

215
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:21,150
And so that's something that is always an issue.

216
00:23:21,330 --> 00:23:24,330
But nonetheless, I mean, I think, you know,

217
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:28,910
if she had a clear tie to Tiberon,

218
00:23:28,910 --> 00:23:32,650
which I don't know if she does or not,

219
00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:36,590
what are we having for real or not?

220
00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:38,930
That we have to know, sort of.

221
00:23:39,010 --> 00:23:43,470
But we have shown a works of Southern marine artists.

222
00:23:43,950 --> 00:23:44,730
Yeah, absolutely.

223
00:23:44,730 --> 00:23:50,330
been only Tiboron. No I'm saying that because as an estate we don't want it you know we

224
00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:56,910
there might be a way to distinguish you know estates from all over Marion rather than estates from

225
00:23:56,910 --> 00:24:02,490
Tiboron residents who are artists who are painting or working in Tiboron or as a collection I don't

226
00:24:02,490 --> 00:24:05,690
know just a thought but

227
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,040
does anyone have any thoughts about the work itself. I think that work is beautiful.

228
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:19,460
Yeah, I like the work. I think the work is really dry. That's a lot of movement and good strokes.

229
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760
The only thing is whether I guess this was sale.

230
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Are they the same artist is by that artist menu?

231
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:36,160
Do we have any idea of the scale of this work? I mean, is it smaller paintings?

232
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,780
There's no sizes in any of these.

233
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Yeah, we need more information from the state, whoever has offered this, we need more information.

234
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:29,500
Application is attached in your agenda and you're welcome to give them a call. Okay. Okay. I think the work is beautiful. I can do that. I can follow up with some questions for this particular application, including whether it's for sale and what's the medium, what are the sizes, what are the dates, etc, etc.

235
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:34,240
or is there a secondary market for a work, that kind of thing.

236
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:37,660
We can find out about a manual.

237
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:38,940
Yeah.

238
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Okay, so that was...

239
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:44,600
Let's think about it.

240
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:52,780
One of five not counting revenue, I believe, so yeah.

241
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,540
Okay, so let's move to exhibit three.

242
00:25:56,540 --> 00:26:04,470
These are the photography of Jay Taman and

243
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:14,260
these are quite interesting. Beautiful photographs and

244
00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:17,740
certainly would be quite popular I think here.

245
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,700
Oh yeah, there's that one, that one's kind of pretty cool.

246
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:33,320
We haven't had photography show for a while, so it might be a bit of a nice thing.

247
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:39,060
I think he's worth considering and putting on the schedule.

248
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Yeah, he's got a professional website, professional, really great photographs.

249
00:26:45,660 --> 00:26:48,400
I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes.

250
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,260
So I think definitely let's let's put him on the schedule.

251
00:26:55,620 --> 00:26:56,320
Jay tomorrow.

252
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,900
I think he's interested. Yeah.

253
00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:06,760
And then there's a donation.

254
00:27:07,220 --> 00:27:10,660
There's a charitable donation component to his work also.

255
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,620
I don't know if you guys caught that, but you know, it does help,

256
00:27:17,140 --> 00:27:21,240
you know, create educational opportunities for children in Nepal.

257
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,400
So that's kind of cool.

258
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,400
That's good to hear.

259
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:29,120
So that would be an interesting.

260
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:33,240
I think I think my vote is let's let's put him on the.

261
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:41,520
Yes, and we can follow up with him in terms of like, maybe, you know, again,

262
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,720
timing and all of that kind of thing.

263
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,560
I mean, I'm sure he's got, you know, things ready to go and frame probably.

264
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,760
But we'll we'll after

265
00:27:52,830 --> 00:27:53,730
you guys go through all this.

266
00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:55,270
We should look at the calendar and see.

267
00:27:55,270 --> 00:28:02,010
okay and then you know volunteer to liaison with the artist okay I did I offered

268
00:28:02,010 --> 00:28:09,490
whether they wanted upstairs or downstairs I gave them the two months and then

269
00:28:09,490 --> 00:28:16,530
they choose which month who who did that all of them you should do that all of

270
00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:18,270
I think I'm patient.

271
00:28:19,090 --> 00:28:19,750
Oh, it is. Yeah.

272
00:28:21,310 --> 00:28:23,990
Yeah, wait the time to get to the application.

273
00:28:24,730 --> 00:28:25,550
The application. Okay.

274
00:28:26,110 --> 00:28:28,450
Let's go to exhibit number four then.

275
00:28:28,910 --> 00:28:30,250
Can we exhibit

276
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,660
four.

277
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,400
Barbara Janis.

278
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:45,380
I just want to say that my name was in the email.

279
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:50,000
I just never have a luncheon and she wanted to have it.

280
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,100
You know, talking about art and show.

281
00:28:52,100 --> 00:29:02,260
and I just told her to contact Marissa so I don't personally know her work okay I don't

282
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:09,580
think there was a website for her just her Instagram page which I have up on the screen now yeah

283
00:29:09,580 --> 00:29:18,140
yes I usually don't trust Instagram stuff because so many people this is her stuff but if you have

284
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:23,980
seen her and she's real and so on, seen some of her work. I think she's had it

285
00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:28,940
done somewhere else in the quarter Madera library. Oh yeah, that's right.

286
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:36,520
No, that's okay. Yeah, you know, watercolors, kind of an interesting

287
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,800
diverse subject matter. I like to accept her just for change.

288
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:57,180
She's done some work at the Academy of Art at Berkeley Health CCA, you know, she's

289
00:29:57,180 --> 00:29:58,740
definitely uh...

290
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:23,330
Yes, aye, that's right. She also has five Instagram followers. Yeah, it's sitting not myself. It looks like her largest is 22 by 26 and her smallest is nine and a half by 12. She's all almost small pieces. Okay, watercolors are usually very small.

291
00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:35,370
I think it's worth considering given the variety at work. I have to

292
00:30:35,370 --> 00:30:45,070
admit it's sort good but I'm not necessarily crazy. She's really an amateur

293
00:30:45,070 --> 00:30:49,750
painter, kind of a hobbyist in an amateur painting. Yeah, but she has a right

294
00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:55,310
credentials with she has a good training. Yeah, so and if she's in the area

295
00:30:55,310 --> 00:31:02,030
that's okay, given that we don't have that many artists and we have to fill up

296
00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:23,490
Oh, calendar. Sure. Well, why don't we, why don't we just put it as a possibility for now, and we'll, we'll, and we'll ask some questions also about, you know, I did receive an additional application yesterday, but it was too late to put it on the agenda, but our journal just forward it to you. Okay.

297
00:31:25,970 --> 00:31:30,350
Let's go to exhibit five. Oh, number five is.

298
00:31:35,130 --> 00:31:41,810
Yes, yes, I absolutely go for her, she was an artist,

299
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:46,990
she thought she

300
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:51,250
thought in our

301
00:31:51,250 --> 00:32:02,950
community center for years, she was teaching painting, and I've seen her work, she's a

302
00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:13,730
writer as well. And I think she's shown her work at different places too. Yeah, I think it would be nice to have her, she's local.

303
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:22,270
And she has been around. Yeah, she's local, Tigran. She's well known to run California.

304
00:32:22,270 --> 00:32:30,410
So the followers, Tara Yalim, are working on that.

305
00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:34,750
Oh, that is the one you're talking about.

306
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:35,390
I'm sorry.

307
00:32:36,290 --> 00:32:38,010
I'm one step.

308
00:32:39,450 --> 00:32:40,570
Oh, okay, okay.

309
00:32:40,850 --> 00:32:41,750
That's my mistake.

310
00:32:42,390 --> 00:32:43,890
Oh, that is the one actually.

311
00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:45,770
Oh, Tara Yalim.

312
00:32:46,090 --> 00:32:46,870
Oh my god.

313
00:32:47,170 --> 00:32:47,350
Yeah.

314
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:52,750
I thought they're two modern for our

315
00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:59,390
or a town hall, the works are just too much going on.

316
00:33:03,810 --> 00:33:07,390
I feel like I've counted that name before, haven't we?

317
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,440
Can you pull up her Instagram?

318
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Oh, no, it is not.

319
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:25,560
Oh, she's sending Portofolia.

320
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,920
for a portfolio is

321
00:33:33,270 --> 00:33:46,160
quite a lot. I didn't really start over here though. Yeah okay you know it's

322
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,700
too abstract they don't think I liked.

323
00:33:56,180 --> 00:34:02,350
Okay is there a way to like... oh there we go we'll

324
00:34:02,350 --> 00:34:10,290
slide show, I don't know what they're all kind of alike in all different colors.

325
00:34:12,260 --> 00:34:13,800
This one is a good one.

326
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:13,980
Yeah.

327
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:21,460
They're very abstract.

328
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:29,720
Well, I still see some kind of figurative, you know, there's a little bit of representational

329
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:34,560
abstraction there, you know, it could be, it's,

330
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:12,660
Okay. That's great.

331
00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:34,810
And that may damage what is what it's actually, I don't, I think they look like acrylic. So when people can see an apple, when closing their eyes and imagining an apple, she can only see blackness. Well, which I think is her art, her art is saved.

332
00:35:34,810 --> 00:35:38,310
and it's really, it's in the attachment is really interesting.

333
00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:43,190
Yeah, I kind of like her stuff actually.

334
00:35:43,390 --> 00:35:46,710
Which I do do and she's a, she's a Tibber on red.

335
00:35:46,770 --> 00:35:47,550
I like this one.

336
00:35:47,810 --> 00:35:47,930
Yeah.

337
00:35:47,950 --> 00:35:49,010
And she see her art.

338
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:52,630
She says, and yet I can feel the apple.

339
00:35:52,850 --> 00:35:55,350
I can pull together a sense of the shine, the shape, the green,

340
00:35:55,390 --> 00:35:56,030
blacked red.

341
00:35:57,210 --> 00:36:00,310
Oh, so there is a kind of a, that's what I mean.

342
00:36:00,550 --> 00:36:02,290
Like, yeah, there is a punch to it.

343
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:06,010
There is some representational sort of tie to it.

344
00:36:06,010 --> 00:36:07,490
I think it's interesting, yeah.

345
00:36:07,810 --> 00:36:13,450
But I don't see any, I think it's representation of anything.

346
00:36:13,850 --> 00:36:16,530
Yes, it's very contemporary, it's good.

347
00:36:18,730 --> 00:36:20,390
I mean, I'm for this one.

348
00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:21,550
Me too.

349
00:36:21,850 --> 00:36:25,550
I'm also, because you know, the next one is the grassy,

350
00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:26,830
the grassy, the grassy, the grassy, the grassy,

351
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:31,110
sort of more like it, because the next one is the good one.

352
00:36:31,110 --> 00:36:35,830
Yeah, yeah, he is on temple. Yeah, and should we move on to the next one?

353
00:36:36,530 --> 00:36:41,990
So exhibit six is Grasnela, and I've been talking to her about doing this for quite a while.

354
00:36:42,190 --> 00:36:48,410
Oh, okay. And she's very interested. She's very established. I think many of you have met her.

355
00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:54,770
I've purchased her art. I've known her oddly enough for probably over 30 years.

356
00:36:55,070 --> 00:36:55,430
Oh, wow.

357
00:36:55,770 --> 00:36:59,070
I know her family. They live in Timuron. I've met all her children.

358
00:36:59,070 --> 00:37:03,030
And the interesting thing is her art, I think she's evolving a little bit.

359
00:37:03,130 --> 00:37:07,430
And she was telling me that she's starting to do some different things recently.

360
00:37:08,210 --> 00:37:12,150
So I think she would like to share those with us.

361
00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:15,730
And I've talked to her about this time slot as well.

362
00:37:16,490 --> 00:37:21,650
And her commitment, she's, these are many of her work, a lot of her work is for sale.

363
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:27,430
Yeah. And she's done classes and education in Timberon.

364
00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:29,150
And so she's definitely a Tiburon artist.

365
00:37:29,550 --> 00:37:31,310
And I don't think she's exhibited in a while.

366
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:34,870
I said, I definitely would go.

367
00:37:34,950 --> 00:37:39,590
She was on the art editor in the Defunct magazine

368
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:41,270
or something, Tiburon.

369
00:37:41,530 --> 00:37:43,150
And she's been around.

370
00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:44,830
And she's good quality.

371
00:37:45,550 --> 00:37:45,850
Yeah.

372
00:37:46,110 --> 00:37:48,690
She said to a little writer about my work.

373
00:37:48,910 --> 00:37:50,410
She came to my studio.

374
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:54,450
So do we need to move to fill her into this lot?

375
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,690
I like it.

376
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:56,670
that I mentioned earlier.

377
00:37:57,050 --> 00:37:59,430
Yeah, I think, so what I've taken notes on is that

378
00:37:59,430 --> 00:38:03,290
Revity and Menuela are gonna take a little more investigation

379
00:38:03,290 --> 00:38:08,030
by Arjun, yes, for Jay, maybe for Barbara,

380
00:38:08,290 --> 00:38:10,510
yes, for Tara, and a yes for Gassiella,

381
00:38:10,690 --> 00:38:15,070
and if you wanna make a motion to agree with what I just said.

382
00:38:16,050 --> 00:38:21,610
I moved that we, first of all, support Gassiella moving

383
00:38:21,610 --> 00:38:25,050
into the timeframe to be confirmed by myself.

384
00:38:25,050 --> 00:38:25,850
Sorry.

385
00:38:26,570 --> 00:38:27,070
I agree.

386
00:38:27,830 --> 00:38:29,030
So we should go on that, maybe.

387
00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:31,010
But in its motion.

388
00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:32,470
I'm crossing all of this.

389
00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:33,550
This is for the November.

390
00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:34,310
Yes.

391
00:38:34,750 --> 00:38:34,810
So.

392
00:38:35,030 --> 00:38:38,890
We have this one other slot for September, October.

393
00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:39,910
Do we need to.

394
00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:41,790
That's like right next week.

395
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:42,750
Do we need to.

396
00:38:42,910 --> 00:38:43,150
Down here.

397
00:38:43,370 --> 00:38:43,650
Yeah.

398
00:38:43,830 --> 00:38:45,750
Do we need to discuss filling that as well?

399
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:49,510
I think, Grassley Hall is better upstairs.

400
00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:50,770
Oh, I agree.

401
00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:54,650
But I'm wondering if you consider some of the other artists, even though it's.

402
00:38:57,210 --> 00:39:03,290
I don't know if we could do it, maybe we'll just extend this for another month.

403
00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:04,770
250th anniversary.

404
00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:06,010
Yeah.

405
00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:07,130
I mean, I think it's too much.

406
00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:08,450
Let's separate things.

407
00:39:08,710 --> 00:39:12,830
Let's have Trish finish her motion for Graciella for November, December.

408
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:13,910
I second.

409
00:39:14,510 --> 00:39:14,950
Okay.

410
00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:15,450
Okay.

411
00:39:15,590 --> 00:39:15,730
Yes.

412
00:39:16,170 --> 00:39:16,450
Second.

413
00:39:16,610 --> 00:39:21,110
And then all in favor of Graciella taking the upper gallery for November and December, all in

414
00:39:21,110 --> 00:39:21,330
favor.

415
00:39:21,830 --> 00:39:22,150
Hi.

416
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:22,790
Hi.

417
00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:27,130
Okay, unanimous. Thank you, Trish. And now we'll move on to the next.

418
00:39:29,530 --> 00:39:35,090
Yeah, I'll be working with her and does the official notification go out to her from Marissa?

419
00:39:36,970 --> 00:39:42,710
I'm yeah, so that she has my information. I'll send her an email and copy you and then you guys can

420
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:52,210
go forth and yes. Thank you. And you have the procedure, the timeline procedure sheet that you

421
00:39:52,210 --> 00:39:56,870
share also with both of them. Yes, but they know send me pictures, send me a description

422
00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:59,730
The title of the show will be better in time, Diane.

423
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,080
Some of these items are filled in for the next meeting. Okay, great. And then the other four, correct? One, two, where is it? Three. We need a motion for that. Anybody want to bring a motion forward for the other three artists? I move that we accept the three artists, Jay Tanang, Barbara Janice, and Terry Yellen,

424
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,840
for consideration and scheduling for next year's

425
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,920
shows exhibitions. I have a Manuela Gemma.

426
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:46,540
My second. Okay. Manuela Gemma also. I guess we could take separate motion.

427
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,460
Well, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to ask some questions about,

428
00:40:49,460 --> 00:40:56,200
about a state, about her, for her state, about size and medium and sale, for sale,

429
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:05,840
of salability and all of that and I also move I move that we accept recommendation from

430
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:15,340
Marissa regarding reveta and also the estate situation regarding size sale and other matters

431
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,360
to be returned to the commission next month.

432
00:41:19,820 --> 00:41:20,780
Second.

433
00:41:24,460 --> 00:41:25,500
All right.

434
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,340
Hi.

435
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,660
Thank you. You guys are working so fast. I can't catch up with my notes. I

436
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:42,260
Realized I missed asking for public comment, but I am seeing none in the room for this particular item

437
00:41:48,370 --> 00:41:48,850
great

438
00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:53,890
Well, that was that was pretty

439
00:41:54,450 --> 00:42:02,130
It's great pretty smooth. Yeah, so the next just a couple things on the calendar the installation of the ICB group show is

440
00:42:02,130 --> 00:42:08,730
on Thursday, September 3rd at 9 a.m., four artists from the ICB will be installing upstairs.

441
00:42:09,130 --> 00:42:15,450
Laurie Myrkord, who is in Belvedere, Kate Salari Baker, who also lives in Belvedere,

442
00:42:16,010 --> 00:42:19,890
and generously is donating the wine for the event from her winery.

443
00:42:21,390 --> 00:42:28,190
Brie Kuts, who's a paper artist and Marina Strache, will be the title of the show is

444
00:42:28,190 --> 00:42:34,510
nature reimagined and they sent me a graphic today and it's really pretty and I'll forward

445
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:34,910
it along.

446
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:36,390
So I'm excited.

447
00:42:36,530 --> 00:42:37,830
I think it's going to be a really nice show.

448
00:42:40,330 --> 00:42:44,330
Thursday September 3rd at 9am, so if any of you are around and want to pop down and say

449
00:42:44,330 --> 00:42:51,630
Hello. They'll be here. People working with them too. I'm sure they have not asked.

450
00:42:53,770 --> 00:43:00,130
They are pros. And then their reception is Tuesday, September 15th from 68 upstairs, so.

451
00:43:01,110 --> 00:43:05,850
Right. Yeah. Bree's been very responsive and organizing the group.

452
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:13,430
You have the image are you going to both together a kind of a little piece that we can shoot around.

453
00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:30,370
Yeah, they all email it to you tomorrow to all email the graphic to the group tomorrow so you can put it on your Instagram and send it to your friends and family great and neighbors and that's what I have who's working with them on their banner or you.

454
00:43:30,770 --> 00:43:31,630
I will work.

455
00:43:31,850 --> 00:43:32,630
Same same.

456
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:36,350
Just let me know when you need me to pick it up or whenever I'm happy to pick it up.

457
00:43:36,350 --> 00:43:37,130
appreciate that. Yeah.

458
00:43:39,690 --> 00:43:43,590
Okay. That was the key. So are there any other calendar dates we want to

459
00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:51,990
talk about right now? I was going to mention to Liz coordinating with Tyler on the removal of his

460
00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:57,970
show. So I don't recall when that's happening. Yes, I will reach out to him. It'll be by Monday.

461
00:43:57,970 --> 00:44:01,070
But it will be that same studio.
