VIEW COLLECTION
OF OUTER BANKS
ARTISTS AT
SEASIDE ART
GALLERY / Seaside Art Gallery owner Melanie Smith took the Committee on a brief tour of the Outer Banks artists in the gallery. Ms. Smith abstained from voting on any of the artwork due to an obvious conflict of interest.
It was Committee consensus to purchase the following:
M. Charles – Outer Banks - $795
Stan Robinson – House in the Marsh - $495
Janet Pierce – Outer Banks Beach Beauties - $240
Ellie Grumiaux – Chappie IV - $250
REPORT ON ART TOURS OF HIGH
SCHOOL CLASSES / Majid Elbers reported that the high school tours last week with teacher Robin York’s high school classes went very well. Approximately 80 students viewed the town’s art collection.
UPCOMING
SCHEDULE / It was Committee consensus to agree to the following schedule:
November 13, 2002, Committee meeting – Ocracoke artist Bob Ray
December 11, 2002, Committee meeting – Artist Michael McAllister
Also in December arrangements will be made for the Committee to view Icarus. The Frank Stick show will be viewed in January 2003.
DISCUSSION OF
ATTENDANCE
POLICY / Majid Elbers reported that the Board of Commissioners approved the Committee’s proposed attendance policy which reads: A Committee member who misses three (3) consecutive meetings, unless the member has received prior approval from the Chair, is relieved of their duties as a Committee member.
It was noted that the meeting time of 5:30 p.m. is not convenient for some Committee members. If a Committee member has a time problem in attending the meeting, they should contact either Majid or Carolyn ahead of time who will try to arrange for the artist to bring the work earlier in the day so a preview could be done and the Committee member could leave comments and choices prior to the regularly scheduled meeting.
APPROVAL OF
MINUTES / It was Committee consensus to approve the minutes from the September 11, 2002, meeting as presented.
ADJOURNMENT / The Committee adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
