Staff noted that since the Arts Commission is an official part of the City, there are a couple of things to consider as it relates to Social Media - public records, and volunteers posting on behalf of the city. Staff introduced Jenny Morgan, who serves on the Department’s Social Media team. Jenny shared that in order to have a good social media presence, you first should have robust content on webpage as this guides the postings. She recommends that the Commission explore ways to incorporate Arts-related information and posts as part of the Parks and Recreation Department’s social media. The Department team schedules posts a few weeks in advance and does well to be intentional, and could easily incorporate Arts posts. Ms. Morgan suggested that information could be sent to staff and then onto the Social Media team. The Commission discussed ideas. Staff recommended that the Arts Promotion subcommittee review the webpage content and look for ways to build that information before tackling social media plans. 7.Unfinished Business: a.Arts Display Wall – Staff presented the 3 applications and reviewed the selection criteria.
