Minutes
- Daniel Foster gave a brief overview of NCAN including how we had met for a year which was a vital community building aspect of the project. We are now in the stage of moving forward with committees in six areas and working toward establishing a more formal steering committee/advisory which will work toward non-profit status with a board. Funding needs to be solidified for a full time admin role.
- Guided Fantasy focused on prioritized projects (collaboration, pr/website, registry, audience building, artist clusters.) The projects need to include limitation on volunteer hours, advocacy message, leveraged possibilities, education outreach, mentoring, funding, audience development and participation, pr attractiveness. These ideas will be presented to the other NCAN committees.
Guided Fantasy results:
I have divided the conversations after the guided fantasy into two categories: aspects of the projects and project ideas. Full notes are below and give credit to participants.
Aspects of project
- One night event creating a sense of urgency to attend
- Spectacular – not average
- Food related
- Mentoring aspect
- Communal spaces that are multi-purpose and fluid
- Balance of entertainment and popular versus solitariness of art
- Seminar/conference
Project Ideas
- Billboard preferably electronic and able to change images often
Open studios - Art Exhibition that rotate in business spaces
Artist of the Month program - Art along the freeway and/or sprinter line
- Uber for art – instant on demand
- Arts Summit to business community demonstrating the value of the arts
- Eat Your Art Out – Matching one organization to one restaurant county wide on one day, this could include open studios, galleries, museums, theater, any cultural gathering
- Defining the new Art Patron Seminar/Conference
Please send in your suggestions for other projects that you are PASSIONATE about and would volunteer for and/or choose one from the list above.
Patricia’s extra suggestion: Work with gyms throughout NC to put up art and have art slide shows displayed on the treadmill display. This could create an active new audience. Sponsor a triathlon, where a competitor has to paint a picture, run a mile, create a poem.
