be from students in the Tukwila School District, and the next open slot for the display wall

regarding the Fine Arts Show beyond 2017 will be determined no later than October 2018.

held on Thursday, February 15th at Tukwila Community Center. The event will be held in

b. Arts Commission Biographies — As part of the 2018 "Be Visible" theme, Arts Commissioners
are being asked to write up a biography to be used as part of the Outreach plan. These
biographies will be used on the City website, as well as in printed materials. Tracy will
email the Arts Commissioners with information about how to write biographies and it
was decided that the biographies would be emailed to Tracy in advance of the March
meeting.
Alex Villella mentioned his sister has a photography business. He's offered to inquire to
see if she'd be available to attend the March meeting and take headshots for each
commissioner as well as a group photo. If she isn't available, Tracy Gallaway will arrange
for a photographer.
nformation gathering' -To assist with outreach, Arts Commissioners are being asked to
put together a list of connections they have or would like to make in 2018. This list would
include Tukwila organizations that meet regularly, arts organizations and artists, business
connections, etc. At the March meeting a master list will be compiled, and Arts
Commissioners will be tasked with creating a workplan for making connections.
d. KCLS Reading by the River event — Tracy Gallaway shared that Tukwila Parks & Recreation
is collaborating on an event with KCLS, and is proposing that Tukwila Arts Commission,
Tukwila Parks Commission and Tukwila Library Advisory Board work together on the event.
The proposed event will occur in August (date TBD) and be held at the Duwamish Hill
Preserve Site and Duwamish Garden site. Tracy is meeting with KCLS staff on February 12th
at 2pm and invited Arts Commissioner participation. Once the date is selected, then a joint
planning team can be developed to work out event details. Trisha Gilmore and Alex Villella
expressed interest in working on this event. It was noted that this event is in alignment
with the Tukwila Arts plan — with activities that put an emphasis on the river.
e. Proposed "Silent Disco" event — Tracy Gallaway shared that Tukwila Parks & Recreation has
been asked to collaborate with KCLS for a "Silent Disco" event. For this event, participants
would wear headsets with the same music and dance along. Tracy mentioned that this
2
event may be a good fit for the Adult Specialized Recreation program that TP&R partners
with Burien and Seatac Parks and Recreation Departments on (a monthly social). KCLS also
works with those organizations and thought that could be a great collaborative program.
Staff will update the commission on this event in the future.
f. River Run 5K — Tracy Gallaway shared that Tukwila Parks & Recreation is rebranding the 5K
run event and holding it in conjunction with the Backyard Wildlife Festival event. With the
event's new branding, it is in alignment with the Tukwila Arts plan and hosting more events
that draw attention to the prominence of the river in Tukwila. There was interest by the
Arts Commission to partner on this event, perhaps by adding music along the route (like
the concept used for the Rock -n -Roll Marathon). Tracy will share the commissions interest
with the TP&R staff planning the fun run event and get their feedback. She will also inquire
regarding planning meetings for the event so that Arts Commissioners can be involved.
