come up with ideas.

a.Rainier Symphony (Chesak, Villella, Rollins) Concert is this weekend, and there will be a

c.Arts Promotion in Community (Coppola, Humkey, Enguerra, Rollins) There was discussion
regarding the production of an art brochure. Brian Kennedy had taken photos and given them to
Dave Johnson. Alex Villella offered to help with the production of the brochure.
**Note: After the meeting the staff liaison Tracy Gallaway emailed the members of this committee
and suggested that before the November meeting they get together to discuss and finalize design
recommendations. Suggested discussion items included: 1) which art elements should be
highlighted, then Tracy will provide the photos needed; 2) who will be completing the design; if a
designer will be used, what are the costs; 3) what are the distribution plans, how many will be
printed and what is the printing budget. ***Sheila Coppola responded that she would organize a
meeting to discuss the Arts Commission logo. This would also be important for the production of
the Arts Commission booth items (tent, table cloth, etc.) as well as an art brochure.
d.Commissioner/Staff Reports Tracy Gallaway suggested that at the January 2018 meeting, the
commission could work on the 2018 Arts Commission work plan and redevelop the spending plan.
This would also be a good time to review the draft Bylaws (bring suggested edits) and review the
Boards & Commissions handbook.
