<br />ORANGE COUNTY ARTS COMMISSION <br />October 15, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. <br />Link Government Building <br />200 South Cameron <br />Hillsborough, NC <br /> <br /> <br />Board Members present: Tim Hoke, Chair; Doris Friend, Secretary; Delia Keefe, Linda Williamson, Tinka <br />Jordy, Ashley Nissler, Chris Kubica, Vice Chair <br />Board Members absent: Helen Jones, Bronwyn Merritt, Dan Mayer, Marlon Torres, Marcela Slade, Fred <br />Joiner, Anita Mills, Evan Linnet <br />Guest: Mimi Clemens, UNC Public Administration Program student <br />Staff Present: Katie Murray, Executive Director <br /> <br /> <br />I. Tim called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />II. Approval of the September, 2018 minutes was deferred to November due to a lack of a <br />quorum. <br /> <br />III. UNC Student Liaison board position approved by the Board of Commissioners on September <br />22, 2018. Evan Linnet is disappointed he is unable to attend his first meeting due to a <br />rescheduled performance postponed by Hurricane Michael. <br /> <br />IV. Director’s Report <br />• Plans for Paint it Orange are down to the wire. We have 35 artists registered as of today <br />and anticipate more who will register at the last minute. We did not have enough <br />people register for the workshop to make it feasible. We will try again next year. There <br />will be an artist meet-and-greet at King Street Bar Friday night from 6:00 to 7:30. Board <br />members are asked to attend to represent OCAC. Awards reception is Sunday at C3 <br />Hillsborough from 6:00 to 8:00. Please attend. <br />• The Chamber trip to Lawrence, Kansas was worth the expense. Eighty people attended <br />and the trip provided lots of opportunities to make good connections with community <br />leaders. The #1 take-away, according to the majority of those participating, was a desire <br />to have more emphasis on the arts in our community. <br />• Katie met with Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools representative regarding our arts <br />educator initiative. It was suggested that we not restrict use of the money to paying for <br />substitute teachers but also include program fees, travel expenses, etc. Suggested <br />increasing the cap to $250. No vote due to lack of a quorum.
