 Great. I am going to call this meeting to order and I started both calls. It looks like Rhea and Chris and Crystal and Susie are missing. Brighton. So the first thing I'd like to ask is on the minutes, does anybody have any corrections or revisions? I know you all read this before. Looks good. So do I hear a motion to approve the minutes as submitted? So moved. I move Dale moves. Second. So I have a motion by Dale and a second by Ellen to approve the minutes as submitted. Any discussion? If not, all in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay, the motion to approve the minutes has passed unanimously. Moving on. To accessions. And I think all of you know Eileen, she's the registrar. Eric's on vacation. So she got to come. Yeah, I heard as Eric go. Believe. I know. What? You didn't believe it? Does he have a straw hat? Okay, guys. She needs to make one of order. We all hope that Eric is having a lovely time again. Sunny believes. Great. Okay, we're good. Proposed accessions for this month. There are three. The biggest and probably most daunting from our point of view is the first one, the one on channel eight archives. So this was the public access television channel. And their archives are mostly on video cassettes and DVDs and beta maps and a variety of other formats that we are looking through from the 70s through the early 2000s. They are videos of programming from that channel eight distributed. There are a few that are longer programs and we have most of the archives of that program like the upfront program was an interview show with local leaders. That is five linear feet by the bank or boxes with the archival material. And then it is kind of all over the place from there. We're pretty excited about it. We did work together to move the archive from the channel eight building. And so it's on site and we are reasonably sure that we can take care of it and it fits. I had a question, Eileen. Do we have the proper equipment to access all of these different? I mean, you know, the list of umatic, umatic gas, beta cam, VHS. We have everything except the umatic player, which is probably not the right word, but it was before I was born. They have channel eight has a lead on the player. They're just not functional and he has a friend who can fix them and so we're working on it. We do want one. There is, if we accession these, there will need to be discussion about how best to store the content. And whether that's digitizing everything or transferring the material onto DVDs, which last longer, it's an ongoing. We do have a beta cam player in the archives. What is umatic? I've never heard that word. They're really big beta cam tapes. They look like VHS tapes, but they're a little bit feared. They're from the early, it shows kind of the age of the archive. Kind of like this thing. I thought they were all big. The next up for consideration is 2020.001. This is a couple of scrapbook art books and two drawings. From Julia Criswell, she was an art teacher at Walmart High from 1935. They're rather chubby. I wonder what this means, the pie face lady. Anybody ever dared call me pie face? These scrapbooks have hand drawings on the nurse's uniform. That's great. It is. That's great. The uniform is from the Longmont Hospital Training School for Nurses. And some archival material about Dorothy Iranian Thompson. And when she wore them, and when she got married. She wore them when she got married? There's a blurb about her wedding in the newspaper. That's included. I see that. That's interesting. And she was at the training school. Right before she got married, when she got married. So it aligns them. So do I have a motion to accept the February accessions as presented? Brandy? Motion to accept. And a second. And is there any discussion? Okay, it's a quiet group. I think there's too much stuff here. There is a lot of stuff. We did not take everything. Well, there's some that you did indeed already leave out. We were in things that were duplicates weren't taken. So they're all individual pieces. And we focused on specifically Longmont history. Longmont specific programs. And, yeah, there was just a lot there. It will be a big project to catalog it all. I guess. But we're looking forward to it. Anybody else? If you're ready to vote, then all in favor of accepting this accession? Aye. Aye. Opposed? The motion to accept all post accessions has passed. Ms. Kim. Yeah, let's see the report. Sure. So as usual, I'm not going to read this word for word for you guys. I'll let you read it through at your leisure. But I will pull out some highlights to just bring to you our attention. Just for lack of a better word under administration, that's some sort of high level stuff that we've been working on at the museum. Oh, an outriding's here. Thanks. So good. Thanks. Longmont trains never fail to disappoint. We're working on the directorship for you. So I know some of you actually were in attendance of the event that they held here at the museum, but the consultants that are working on a feasibility study for the performing arts slash conference center actually gave a presentation to City Council a couple of weeks ago. They concluded what's sort of officially phase one of their research, which really just kind of makes some determination about whether or not there is demand in the city for a performing arts center and or convention center, and their assessment concluded that the conditions are favorable. Phase two really will dig deeper into understanding what that means and trying to look more specifically at what a funding model would look like, what would sustainability look like, what would building a building look like, like all of those really meaty questions. And so the real hard work is yet to be done. And so I will keep you in the loop as I hear things on that. The LDDA and the museum have partnered to lead a cultural plan initiative. And so Kimberly McKee and I are working on putting together a RFP, I think it's going to be a RFP, to hire a consultant that will essentially bring artists and creatives from across Longlot together to try to understand where we can invest in a way that will be the biggest bag for the buck. As you guys probably know, Arts Longlot basically has dwindled. They used to receive city support and without a really functional board at this point. Sandy Cedar has reallocated the funds that were originally going to go to them to support this effort. And really the aim of this is try to understand how we as the sort of creative community in Longlot can reinforce and support each other with limited resources because we know that that's the case. And so having a real plan to put in place to create that kind of map forward will be really important. So that's just now really getting started. And then of course the library feasibility study is going to have some conclusions probably in April. The Performing Arts feasibility study will probably have conclusions in March or April. The creative district has some documents that they've already done. So these are all the documents that another consultant will be able to draw from to create this sort of bigger cultural plan. Moving on down to marketing and development. I think we've probably said this a million times, but just to reiterate it one more time. We really have. We know pretty darn sure at this point based on the work of the budget office that we have achieved the tier two revenue threshold to be able to apply for SCF and tier two funding. And so we'll make that application just as soon as we can. The auditors are going to be starting to work on that very soon. And as soon as the auditors have completed their work then we'll be able to put the application together. The application is due in May, but the portal is already open so we can submit the application tomorrow if we have all the stuff together. How much do we get from them now? Well, so it's varied over the last few years. I think in 2017 we got $30,000. In 2018 we got about $19,000. Last year we got about $23,000. Yeah, last year. This is going to be amazing. It's going to be a really big deal. And it's just an estimate at this point because until there's actual tax revenue and until they actually don't have any organizations are in tier two they won't know what that distribution looks like. But they're estimating that we'll receive an additional $150,000. So it'll be a very big deal for us. Cam, you said somebody asked last time how many tier two organizations there are in Boulder County. And I remember you said Chautauqua, but didn't you say there were one or two others? Yeah, I don't remember them off the top of my head, Dale. But I know it's Chautauqua. It's E-town. Seems to me there's some kind of a performing arts group. And that may be it. There's not many able to count it off. But it's the whole of tier twos that the money gets distributed. So there are loads of other tier twos in other counties. Yeah, for Boulder County tier twos there's really I think maybe four. And I can get that. Let's see. Some of you I think were here for the Terry Manger opening. We had about 250 people for that opening reception. And it was super fun. People were dancing, which I think you can call a success. There were about 60 Giving Club members that were here for the preview portion of that. And Terry gave a private tour for those folks, so that was really fun. Summer camp, I'm just kind of jumping down a little bit. Summer camp registration is open. So if you know anyone that's interested, there are some really exciting summer camps that we've got on offer. And then that kind of moves into the educational program. So Discovery Days. So far we've awarded 464 out of 600 scholarships for that program. That, as you may remember, the Dodge Family Foundation has given money to provide scholarships for a lot of our educational programs. And that was part of it, the Discovery Days. There's also we've awarded $3,000 for the school tour scholarships. And those are four schools with an above average number of students that qualify for a free and reduced price lunch. So which is one of the sort of markers that we use to try to determine the schools that are in community. And so those are the books that we're targeting for those scholarships. And then we've awarded nine scholarships for the Spring Break Theater Camp. And we've still got some to hand out for that program. But I know Anne and we are really working hard to get those scholarships out. And then moving down further into collections. Probably none of you have that Elizabeth. Elizabeth Baudouin is a new museum technician. She works almost exclusively out at the Museum Collection Center. And she's dutifully taking photographs and documenting collections out there. This is the sort of last leg of our IMLS grant that supported the move to the new storage facility. And so she came with really really high recommendations. Her partner was here in Colorado. And so she was trying to find a job out here. And so from across the country, lots and lots of really good athletes. And she has done a lot of work. You can probably speak to this. And very short time that she's been with us. She is kind of a workforce. Yeah. So that's good stuff. Yeah. She's got lots of East Coasts. Her background. Lots of Boston museums. And her last was at the Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. Yeah. Pretty short. Yeah. She'll be a good addition to the museum world after that. For sure. Eric is finishing. He's put here, finished at chapter eight of the One Lock History book. But I suspect he's further along than that now even. And that's out of nine or 10 chapters. He was thinking he might combine the last two chapters. And the draft is due to the publisher in May. So that's clipping right along. And we're all very excited about that. Should have it here in November. Back at the next page there under visitor services. We've got an artist that we're working with, Eric Zimmer, who you may notice on this white back wall of the atrium, is a whole bunch of tile work, basically, that are these little paintings with encaustic on them, white wax on them. And so those are on consignment. So they're sewn really quite well. We're very happy with that arrangement. Eric's been super easy to work with, so that's always good. We're also, we've done an exhibit catalog for a Terry Maker show that should be released beginning of March. We have photos of the actual installation that are in the catalog. So that made for a delay in getting it out after the opening of the exhibit. But it's for sale. If you are interested, you can go to our website and buy it even through that. Did you notice that Terry got the front page of the Denver Post Leisure section? Who is her agent? She is her agent. She is her agent. How did she get that? I mean, that was just really... She called Ray Rinalding when he was on vacation in Bogota and had him write that for her. That's great. I was so shocked to see that. Wow, that was great. She's a mover and a shaker. It was a very good, it's a very nice review of the show. So we were very pleased to see that that was good stuff. Under visitor services, we detailed that opening a little bit further that there were 91 members and 173 paid admissions, and then we sold nine new memberships. So opening receptions are always a good time to be able to excel. What did they do with all leftover food? I don't know that there was any. I think it got all eaten up. I have a question. On the postcard that went out for the opening reception, it said it was $8 for adults to go to the reception. It's a paid thing. We treated it just like an admission. Yeah, I was hanging out with our installation artist installing our show at the firehouse, and I was like, we should go. And then we found out it was cocktail dress requested and $8 to get in, and we were like, that's not for us today. Are you going to the bar? Yeah, no. No. Well, we handle it just like we handle regular museum admissions. So if you're a member, you get in for free, and we do the giving club preview before the actual opening reception, and so we treated it exactly the same way. The difference being, I think what we're going to be branding for the opening that's going to happen, is it in June? The opening that'll happen in June, we probably will have that one on the free day. Cool. So that exhibit opening will be free, and that's purposeful because that one is a more kid-friendly, kid-focused exhibit, and that opening will be a daytime opening. So a really different feel, a really different audience, and so we found in the past that with those kinds of events that what ends up happening is that people kind of get distributed all over the building and in the courtyard and in the gallery, so in order to make that feel like it's got some presence to it, it's great to have it as a free event. So we scheduled that one specifically for the free day for that reason. Cool. Cool, cool. Oh, let's see. Each auditory of programming, Justin's got a big list there of the programs to highlight for you, and he's working with a new intern from C Boulder, Adrian Wright, who's really been helping him pull together some of the work that he's been doing. So you see that we've got concerts in the Curious Theater and these are the things that we did in January, February. The Senate candidate forum, we had over 400 people here for that event, so that was a really big deal. We set up the classroom A. I'm losing, what's the name of that? Kaiser C. Thank you, Kaiser C. We set up Kaiser C with a monitor so that overflow people could go into that and still see the event. So that was a really successful thing for us to do. And then upcoming stuff, we had movies and concerts and then someone was talking earlier about this event, the Music of the Spears, which would be a conversation with Terry Maker and with a scientist and a religious scholar. So that's going to be really fun. A lot of hard work has to do with being a Christian. So we're sort of bringing together this overlap of science and religion and art. So that'll be a very interesting one. And then later, March the 26th, Terry and I will be in conversation and we'll talk about some of that stuff as well. It's really interesting and kind of unique in terms of contemporary art, so it's a good thing to talk about. Then in exhibitions, you see there, Jared puts together this really great graph that is sort of the only way that we can compare exhibits over time, this visitors per day. If we look at overall revenue or overall attendance, it's not a very easy comparison because some of them are much longer exhibits, some of them are much more intensive exhibits, and so really the thing that helps us understand visitation more than anything else is to look at the average number of visitors a day. And so to look at this, you're looking at the amped exhibit and then the next one, the sort of salmon colored one is the Lane Dixon and then the big, big one is Lego to help you read that one. So this is over here now. And so I think looking at the end of the graph, what we can take away is that Ansel Adams was really quite successful. That is the most successful art exhibit that we have hosted to date. And so the numbers for that were really great. And then the exhibits team currently are working on developing an exhibit called Kiki the Tiny House, hands-on home building. And they are actually building a tiny house at the moment. And then also they're building a shepherd's wagon and a lot of other sort of interactives and things that kids would be able to communicate and have fun with. So that's going to be a very cool exhibit. It'll appeal to kids but adults as well. The Tiny House movement is so big right now. So I think it'll be a very successful exhibit. Jared's also hosting an SCU intern. And so I think those patients love working with the exhibits and all of that hands-on stuff. All right, in public places, the call for interest has been right now through the Art on the Move project and that's our temporary installation where artists install a piece of work for a one-year time frame. The commission has approved the commissioning, the direct purchase of a sculpture called Urson Major, which you guys may remember because it was installed as an Art on the Move piece last, two years ago. And it's a big bronze bayer, if you guys remember that. So we're actually going to purchase that one and it'll be installed on Main Street as soon as we can get all of the contracts. What is it? It's basically a bayer that's standing up. It's pretty much life-size. You know what the bayer is at the big building downtown there? Is it like that? No, it's much more realistic. Oh, I think that one's realistic. It's blue. It's blue. It's blue. And it's also super-sized. Yeah. I would not want to be that bare. So the bronze one that you guys are buying has texture. Yeah. It was very popular when it was installed during the Art on the Move a couple of years ago. And so, you know, people who've gotten all kinds of feedback. Well, that's great. We want to bring it back. We want to bring it back. I want you to go. Oh, boy, that's a great question that I don't know the answer to. I think, but don't quote me. I think it was $30,000. Yeah. We have done, Angela has done some preliminary data research where she is taking a traffic collection, data collection and overlaying it with the Art and Public Places collection. And she is able to give us a lot more verifiable data about how many eyeballs are hitting public art. So we've sort of just started that project and she's working with her intern to really flesh that out more so that we can get more verifiable data about who's seeing public art, which will be a cool thing to be able to demonstrate. And then the Unity project, some of you may see have seen that. Mario, who was the artist that created that originally, we are contracting with him to do some renovations of these. It's been damaged. And so he's going to do some work to fix that. And I believe that it's true that we're going to try to video it so that we get that documentation on the agenda here in public media. That's my report. Does anybody have any questions for me? Well, I don't have a report. On to old business, I just would mention that if you don't mind when Joanne sends out the packets, you can just let her know whether you're going to be able to be here or not. That's helpful because sometimes you have to make sure we have a form. And I know sometimes there's a train or kidlets or whatever that doesn't always work out. But if you could let her know, then that would be very helpful. Do we have any new business? I'm glad Joanne put this round with rules of order. A piece of paper. I will credit Eve with that. You've did a lot of work on that. Thank you. You're welcome. We'll try to get a little more, a bit more lined up with that as we move forward. Anybody have any other comments? Yes. Where does it go? Stop smelling. Okay. I should have been more specific about which comments. Yeah. Okay. If there aren't any more comments or discussion. Actually, I do have a question. Okay. As a city council liaison, am I a voting member or no? I'm just... So that's when I... because there are some that I sit on that I vote, and some that I don't. Historically, the council liaison has never voted. Okay. So that's what I wanted to make sure. But you're welcome to make any kinds of comments. Okay. Certainly. Participate in the discussion. Sure. Absolutely. Yeah. I have one question. Joanne, who do we get to publish these things? Is it the same person? Is it the same company every time? This is not cheap. Sure. I can get with... I have Joanne get with you on that because I honestly don't know what printer we're using. The stock is really expensive. There's a large printer based in Denver that does a lot of, like, athletic programs. Wow. They do that. And they... they tape like that. That would be one of my guesses. They're really quality and affordable. So, okay. I don't remember what they have are. Because this museum is always sending out stuff like this that is very impressive. You have to be able to get people to sign up for all the good things we're doing. Got to catch their eye. Yep. We're in the same league with Chautauqua and E-town. That's right. Oh, yeah. Got to keep up those standards. All right. So, do I hear a motion to adjourn? I've made it to adjourn. Ellen. I have a second. I'll second that. All right. Oh, good. All in favor. All right. All right. I'm closed. Okay. There'll be no further business this week.
