6. Social Media Information: Staff introduced this item as a follow -up to the previous meeting's discussion
on Arts Promotion in the Community, specifically related to Social Media. 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.
Commissioners reviewed and discussed the applications. The Commission have some questions for
a couple of the applications that staff will follow up on. Staff will work with Trisha Gilmore and
reach out to the applicants for scheduling.
b. Arts Plan — Staff reported that the Call for Planning Artist is final and opens on March 21St
Proposals are due April 11th. The Call will be advertised via the newspaper, SoCo Culture, 4Culture,
and the city website. Commissioners requested a copy of the Call. Staff confirmed that it will be
emailed to the Commissioners.
c. Art Piece at City Hall Report — Sheila Coppola reported back on appraisal information. After much
discussion, the Commission requested that staff follow -up with the City's Insurance carrier and
report back.
8. New Business

a. Special Event Promotions — Staff introduced this item as a follow -up to the previous meeting's
discussion on Arts Promotion in the Community, specifically related to tabling at Special Events.
There are a number of opportunities for promotion in the community. Staff suggests a table at the
following events: Backyard Wildlife Festival (May 13), See You in the Park (July 12), Touch a Truck
(July 29), See You in the Park (August 9), Kids Festival (August 18), and Autumn Harvest Carnival
(October 26). There was considerable discussion about activities, flyer to distribute, and handouts.
The Commission decided on coloring bookmarks. Staff indicated that they would order the
bookmarks. There was also discussion about the development of an Arts Commission logo, and a
desire to move away from the temporary logo. Dori Sherer volunteered to put together some
drawings and Daniel Humkey volunteered to digitize them. Staff noted the timing of new logo
development related to ordering the bookmarks for the first event, and if the new logo isn't
finished in time, the bookmarks will be ordered with the temporary logo on it.

PIANOS ON PARADE
BY KEYS 4/4 KIDS
ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
Incorporated in 2004, Keys 4/4 Kids is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that accepts
donated pianos from the community, refurbishes them, and sells them at discounted rates
to give the public access to music and the arts. Profits from piano sales support programs
that inspire hope, promote the love of music, provide educational opportunities, and
empower creative expression. One of those programs is Pianos on Parade.
WHAT IS PIANOS ON PARADE?
Pianos on Parade is a Keys 4/4 Kids' program that places artistically transformed pianos in
public places for residents to play and enjoy. Pianos are painted by students in classrooms or
by professional artists in their studios before becoming colorful, interactive art installations.
Whether on a street corner, in a favorite park, or inside the atrium of a local mall, Pianos on
Parade spurs residents and visitors to spontaneously engage with art, music, and one
another.

HOW IT WORKS
Small and large businesses, municipalities, schools, other nonprofits, and individuals can
"sponsor" a Pianos on Parade piano. Sponsorship helps support the cost of art supplies,
piano tuning /prepping, moving expenses, and other costs. Once ready, sponsors proudly
display their pianos in the location of their choosing, either outdoors or indoors. If the piano
is placed outdoors, a custom cover is provided to protect from rain and the elements.
BUSINESS SPONSORS
Pianos on Parade provides the ultimate avenue to maximize philanthropic initiatives through
a single sponsorship. Pianos on Parade is a unique branding and marketing platform that
engages the public and delivers your message in a fun and interactive medium. Pianos on
Parade activates and energizes space, inspires social media content sharing, and
demonstrates your commitment to supporting the arts in your local community.
MUNICIPAL SPONSORS
In 2008, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation along with Gallup conducted a 3 -year
study called the SOUL OF THE COMMUNITY. The study found three (3) perceived attributes
- SOCIAL OFFERINGS, OPENNESS, and BEAUTY - have consistently emerged as leading
drivers of empowered and thriving communities. Pianos on Parade provides your
community with interactive art installations that satisfy all three (3) of these characteristics,
bringing cultural, social, and economic value to your city. The arts awaken public spaces,
reflect and reveal our society, and add meaning and uniqueness to our communities. These
attributes drive engagement and will help make your community a better place to live.
el SCHOOL SPONSORS
Pianos on Parade uses an acoustic piano as a learning catalyst in the classroom to engage
kids in a fun and interactive project. Pianos on Parade creates a hands -on, interdisciplinary
learning activity that encourages teamwork, makes learning fun, and builds self- esteem.
Curriculum is provided to teachers, and includes music and art lesson plans, STEM
components, as well as historical and cultural aspects related to the piano. Pianos are
painted as part of the project, and then placed in public locations. Students feel a sense of
pride and accomplishment that can be shared with their family, friends, and community.

Pianos can be artistically transformed by students or by professional artists in your local
area. STUDENT POP supports arts in schools, while ARTIST POP supports local artists.

PROGRAM DURATION
Pianos on Parade can occur at any time during the year, for any duration of time. If you will be displaying
your piano indoors, your piano can be on display year- round. For pianos placed outdoors, we
recommend finding an overhang of some kind to protect from sunlight and weather elements whenever
possible. Although we provide a protective cover for outdoor pianos, we have found that 3o -45 days is
generally the "life- expectancy" of outdoor pianos. (Pianos placed indoors can last indefinitely.)
Sponsors may keep the piano(s) for as long as they wish. When you are ready for Keys 4/4 Kids to
remove the piano, we can do so at no additional charge. Some sponsors wish to keep only the front
boards of the pianos, as they can be displayed easily, and even hung on a wall. Whenever possible, Keys
4/4 Kids tries to recycle piano material into upcycled piano parts products.

"This has truly been a great experience! Not only the painting of a piano, which is a fun and challenging
visual art practice, but having the piano available for any student to play on in the classroom and now for a
week or two in the hallway has been so much fun. We have a lot of talent in the building and students are
teaching each other. What an incredible way to blend and support student skill development in both the
visual and performing arts!! We look forward to continuing to work with your organization in the future
and very much support the mission of K44K and Pianos on Parade."
-Keri, St. Paul loth Grade Media Arts Teacher
"I love POP because it is such a fun partnership concept for our neighborhood bookstore. The piano creates
wonderful customer engagement, energy, and serves as a tie -in to our weekly book reading activities."
