1. Public Oral Communications None

2. Commission Member Oral Communication Commissioner Kris McClung congratulated everyone on the success of the Oz Con International Festival. She shared the August 1 Union Tribune article about Oceanside, CA working to become the premier art area of San Diego. First Friday of every month they will have an Art walk in their city (like Laguna Beach) very diverse offering, not just visual, there will be art performances as well. Oceanside is working to become a legitimate location for art patrons and Coronado should do this because there is so much art here. Also, Virginia has State distinction as a State Arts City, something to ponder for Coronado. Lastly, Commissioner McClung recently visited a resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A musical festival was going on which was a month long, features include: theme (South America, Amazonas), free concerts, and ticketed events, famous musicians, training for young musicians, exhibitions of art, food from the regions, wine tastings, combined classical and jazz music. D. ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

CAA Kelly Purvis announced that the portable restrooms ship this week and wrap next week. The facility is scheduled to be installed on the beach by mid-August. Summer intern Devon Bowman will be finishing next week and has attended many working team meetings and has done a superb job. I have put out an inquiry to USD for fall interns and have had two responses. Devon is assisting with an updated internship job description. CAA states the commission has been very busy as evidenced by submitted reports.

E. COMMISSION NEW BUSINESS

Chair Steve Baker presented Devon Bowman with a CAC Certificate of Recognition and CAA Kelly Purvis congratulated Devon Bowman for a job well done.

Chair Steve Baker announced that our next meeting will be our annual Work Planning Session and is scheduled for the Sand Dollar Room in the Community Center. The Commission has retained the services of facilitator Lyn Perino. Prior the meeting, Commissioners will be asked to assess what has happened in past year and consider what will happen going forward. Meeting on September 4 will start at 12:00 with lunch provided. Work Plan meeting will occur first and then commission meeting. Chair Steve Baker asked if the CAC Business Meeting could start at 4 pm and CAA Kelly Purvis indicated a motion could include the time of the monthly business of the Commission. CAA Kelly Purvis shared that she has worked with Lyn Perino at several planning meetings while volunteering for the CUSD. Lyn Perino is a resident of Coronado and active in the community. Commissioner Kris McClung indicated she has worked with Lyn Perino at least five times. Commissioner McClung indicated that Perino’s background is in strategic planning. Commissioner Heidi Wilson stated that this next meeting is primarily for the development of the 2015 Working Plan and not primarily focused on a strategic plan which will be a longer process. Chair Steve Baker commented that a third party will be helpful with an outside view and this will be a healthy process.

Commissioner Doug St. Denis moved to schedule the next Cultural Arts Commission meeting in the Sand Dollar Room in the Coronado Community Center on Thursday, September 4, 2014 at 12:00 pm for the Working Plan discussion and 4:00 pm for the regular business of the Commission. Commissioner Jeff Tyler seconded the motion.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis, Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain: None

F. WORKING TEAMS: 1. ARTS EDUCATION - Commissioner McClung

Commissioner McClung announced a CoSA Fall Festival of the Arts- 4:30-8:30 pm is in the planning stages and wants input from CAC. The former event focus was a parent view into what kids are doing at CoSA but now the High School wants it to be more like a City Festival. CoSA requests assistance in defining the focus and structuring the event. It will be held outside on campus in the High School quad and use the black box and main theatre for performances. CoSA Foundation is applying for pre-event reception on the tennis courts next to library. CoSA is wide open for expanding this event and including more than just CoSA participants. Commissioner Heidi Wilson asked what is the objective for the festival. Commissioner Kris McClung said it is a fundraiser and highlights the Arts at the High School. It used to be held in the Nautilus Room but it is too small now as it is so popular. They are moving it to the school site. Alcohol is not allowed to be served on school property so CoSA is trying to do a reception on the tennis courts. In a larger venue it can be a larger event. Commissioner Heidi Wilson likes the idea, has great potential, but feels it is not realistic for the Commission to participate this year but maybe next year. Commissioner Wilson

suggests closing off the block and having a street festival in 2015. Commissioner Kris McClung asked if it would be appropriate for the Commission to sanction the event. Commissioner Heidi Wilson says we need to know focus. Chair Steve Baker agreed to assist on this event and meet with the CoSA Principal. Commissioner Doug St. Denis asked if it is a CoSA school or Foundation event. Commissioner Kris McClung said it is a CoSA event. Commissioner St. Denis agrees that there is potential for something bigger next year. She stated that Art Walk is always the second week of September and this year the event occurs September 13-14. The Commission needs to be aware of other arts events when scheduling future events. Chair Steve Baker stated that October 3rd is right around the corner and they need to meet soon. Commissioner Wilson stated that if they meet before September 15 she would sit in on the meeting.

2. COMMUNICATIONS: PR & MEDIA - Commissioner Kovach

Commissioner Kari Kovach reviewed Google Analytics for CoronadoARTS.com. Traffic has increased and brand exposure is good. During the Oz Con International events session traffic increased. Commissioner Kovach is posting humorous tweets on Twitter and has a nice following. Commissioner Kovach thanked CAA Kelly Purvis and Intern Devon Bowman for maintaining CoronadoARTS Facebook page and the website. Commissioner Kovach linked the video of Commissioner Heidi Wilson and CAA Kelly Purvis at the reading of the Oz Con International proclamation at City Council and it has had a good response. Commissioner Kovach presented an application for the Communications Working Team. Alisa Reinhardt is a policy analyst for the San Diego Regional chamber of Commerce and a graduate of USC. Commissioner Kari Kovach moved to approve Alisa Reinhardt for the Communications: PR & Media Working Team. Commissioner Heidi Wilson seconded the motion.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis. Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain:

3. FUNDRAISING AND SPECIAL EVENTS - Commissioner Wilson Commissioner Heidi Wilson stated that the City Manager has given permission for sponsorships. The City Council will approve the CAC events in our Work Plan and we will list those events that we will be seeking partners. For Celebrate Oz we partnered with MainStreet so that MainStreet could accept the $5000 contributed by Del Coronado Realty. Del Coronado Realty is in to sponsor again for Oz if it occurs again next year. Commissioner Heidi Wilson updated the Commission on the Celebrate Oz! AUTU event. The Sara Rowe booth sold $600 worth of inventory. Doug and Dale sold $1000, the photographer had one of her best days in a year, good turnout and response was terrific. Journey through Oz at playhouse was sold out for both shows, excited about their expanded data base. OZ Alive! had 300 people attend. Participants learned new dances every day for two weeks and performed. It was a successful partnership and CoSA will continue program. Saturday is Dinner a la Art which is sold out, looking forward to it. A post Oz partners meeting is scheduled for August 20th. Perhaps next year CAC may have a one day festival or weekend on Wizard of OZ.

Finally Commissioner Heidi Wilson announced the good news for the arts in Coronado with the release of the Coronado Citizen Satisfaction Survey. The survey showed that the interest in the arts went up 9% which is very significant. The results will be presented to the City Council at their August 18 meeting. 4. ARTS PARTNERS AND ADVOCACY - Commissioner Baker

Commissioner Steve Baker held an Arts Partners Meeting in July. The Roundtable portion of the meeting continues to be interesting and is an excellent exchange of information between our partners.

5. LITERARY ARTS – Commissioner Baker for Commissioner Enowitz

Commissioner Steve Baker reported on the Coronado Writers Workshop. The Coronado Eagle Journal has agreed to be a sponsor and will be printing the brochures. Commissioner Kris McClung inquired about high school student’s inclusion in event. CAA Kelly Purvis indicated that high school students are included in the workshop and there is a dedicated session dedicated for high school students with local author Laura McNeal. There are two applicants for consideration as new members of the Literary Arts Committee. Jennifer Bates is a local author. Kate Carinder has published curriculum for partnering seniors with students in learning about the internet. Commissioner Heidi Wilson moved to accept Jennifer Marie Bates and Kate Carinder as members of the Literary Arts Working Team. Commissioner Doug St. Denis seconded the motion.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis. Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain:

6. PUBLIC ART - Commissioner Tyler

Commissioner Jeff Tyler updated the Commission on the bike racks and corrals. If the corrals remain there is an upcoming meeting to discuss design to improve their visual appeal. The Gateway project is back on the table and it is a fabulous opportunity for artistic improvement to the entrance of our City. A meeting is scheduled tomorrow with the consultant and stakeholders. Commissioner Tyler discussed Imagine Dragon by Kent Kraber. The artist has moved to Idaho. Commissioner Tyler asked the artist to donate the piece to the City. He either wants to sell the piece or terminate the loan. He will sell the sculpture to the City for $10,000. He offered an additional year of loan term if the City will pay $2500 in good faith and the balance of $7,500 next year. Commissioner Tyler has spoken to Coronado Public Library Director Christian Esquevin and he indicates that the Library is supportive of having the piece on the front lawn on a permanent basis. Commissioner Heidi Wilson indicated it will be important to ask supporters to send letters. Commissioner Doug St. Denis asked about the base. CAA Kelly Purvis and Commissioner Jeff Tyler both believe at this time it is important to make the purchase and perhaps discuss a different base in the future. Commissioner Jeff Tyler recommended that the Coronado City Council approve the purchase of Imagine Dragon with a good faith payment of $2500 and final payment of $7500 in August 2015. Commissioner

Wilson indicated that there should not be a payment plan or make it an alternative recommendation. Commissioner Kovach inquired about the City of Coronado’s actual public art collection. Commissioner Jeff Tyler moved to recommend to the City council that we purchase Imagine Dragon for $10K and Commissioner Steve Baker seconded the motion.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis. Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain:

Commissioner Jeff Tyler briefed the Commission on the status of the donation of the sculpture LOVE to the City of Coronado. He indicated that due to tax concerns the Zahn family want to donate to a 501(c)3. Commissioner Jeff Tyler moved that the CAC withdraws its recommendation to the City Council to accept the donation of the sculpture LOVE. Commissioner Doug St. Denis seconded the motion.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis. Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain:

Commissioner Jeff Tyler presented the application of Teresa Alley for the PAWT. She is a retired information manager, webmaster and systems analyst.

Ayes: Baker, Kovach, McClung, St. Denis, Tyler and Wilson Nays: None Absent: Enowitz Abstain: None

7. VISUAL ARTS & FILM – Doug St. Denis

Commissioner Doug St. Denis briefed the Commission on AUTU during Celebrate Oz! Commissioner Heidi Wilson indicated that she bought art at the show from an artist and later found out it was made an artist from Mexico. It was agreed that future AUTU events need to state criteria for artists participating and artwork that is sold. Commissioner St. Denis indicated the Visual Arts Working Team would address the criteria and tighten it up so that we are promoting local artists.

Commissioner Doug St. Denis announced an added second screening of the Wizard of Oz at the Village Theatre on Thursday evening during the Oz Con Festival. CAA Kelly Purvis updated the Commission on the Community Gallery Proposal. It is currently being reviewed by the City Manager’s office and upon approval a press release can be issued and donor solicitation can begin.

Fundraising and Special Events Report for August, 2014

A. Oz Con International: The week-long festival of events was by all accounts an unqualified success. Excitement reigned high at our opening night at the Library and at the Playhouse’s Journey Through Oz and pretty much carried through the entire week including the Thursday night screenings of the Wizard of Oz 3-D movie at the Village Theater. At our Oz Con “Wrap” meeting on August 20th Partner Organizations shared information about their events and in almost every instance, expectations were met and in many cases wildly exceeded. The Recreation Center had full classes at their Wizard’s camps, the Playhouse sold out both of their performances, the Library had a good attendance at both the Exhibition Reception and at Angelica Carpenter’s lecture. Saturday night’s Oz Alive! CoSA Dance performance had 300 people in attendance and showcased some amazing dancers. The Scribe’s Another Side of Oz had 40 in attendance and the readings were humorous; the costumes creative. The children’s puppet show at the Library had 200 parents and children. CIFF’s movie screening sold out not once but twice and of particular note were the cast of Oz “characters” who visited various events throughout the week and included our summer Intern Devon as the Lion, our Arts Administrator as a delightful Dorothy, the Del’s Marty Brooks as Glenda, myself as the Wicked Witch of the West and our own City Manager, Blair King as the Mayor of Emerald City. All in all the combined events were everything we could have dreamed possible for our celebration to honor our beloved L. Frank Baum. C. CELEBRATE Oz! - August 2nd – The day was PERFECT right up until it started to rain – the one thing we couldn’t “organize”. Other than that everything went off without a hitch and it was an amazing day. Over 300 children participated in activities provided by the Library and the Recreation Dept. and I’ve never seen so many little Dorothy’s, Tiny Tin men and huge smiles as on the faces of both children and adults as they “followed the Yellow Brick Road” around Spreckels park. The bands were in rare form, the dancers and singers gave it their all and in spite of the spitting sky the artists achieved a respectable level of sales for the day. While there were no doubt tourists stopping by during the day - one of the comments I heard frequently was from locals who felt that “for a brief period of time, we have our own town back to enjoy” which was heartwarming as we intended the day to be a family festival for our local and seasonal residents. D. Dinner a l’ART – Our 1st dinner went off perfectly and it was truly a magical evening on the bay. It was very well received by our dinner guests – several of whom asked me to make sure they are invited to our next event and today I got a list of people to ask next time from one of them which speaks well for how people perceived our event. We netted around $3,800 which will go towards developmental costs for our Cultural Compass – a 5-Year Strategic Plan for the arts. E. The CCAC/CoSA Foundation Oz Alive! Summer Intensive Series – This first Summer Intensive was successful with 26 dancers and 10 TV/Film students. A small profit was realized which CoSA will use to launch the 2015 program which is already in the planning stage. It was amazing to sit in the audience and see the high quality of the dance numbers – 8 of them, each in a wildly different style - all learned within a two week period. Two summer resident sisters were so thrilled by the experience that they talked their parents into moving here so they can go to school and one of them was able to do a late audition and has been admitted to the CoSA program. Truly the arts have the power to change lives! While the CAC was instrumental in helping launch this program, it seems most appropriate that the CoSA Foundation singularly carry it forward as they are best suited for the task and with continued support it may well become a major source of funding for them and by extension the CoSA program.

Report from the Literary Arts Working Team

Meeting 8.15.14

There was a debriefing by Jerry Greenspan of the Coronado Scribes’ August 3 OzCon event which was very successful: well-attended and enjoyed by those who presented as well as by the audience. Kelly will post some photos from the event on the website as well as excerpts of some of the writing that was presented. A big thank you to all the Coronado Scribes and to Jerry and Mary Beth Dodson, the coordinators of this event!

Virginia Sherwood gave an update on the authors’ brochure for the Coronado Library. There was discussion about the purpose of this project,1) is it updating a tool for the library to hand-out to visitors to the library who can then use it to check out books for our “Read Local” campaign or 2) is it a new brochure of the current writers and a hand-out at the CWW to showcase the writing community in Coronado? Virginia will talk to library staff and find out how many new books by local authors have been donated since last November and Kelly will design a new format for the brochure.

We continue to encourage local authors to post their individual profiles on CoronadoArts.com Susan will send out an email with instructions for posting profiles to all the individuals involved in the CWW but live or work in Coronado.

The Coronado Scribes’ character writing samples from OzCon will be gathered for posting on the website. A sample of Joyce Chapman’s writing will be posted in September on the website under “Local Art News.”

The first Coronado Writers Workshop’s publicity was discussed and we discussed the social media aspect. Kelly will post the press release written by Kari Kovach on the CCAC Facebook. The Eagle/Journal has agreed to be the Workshop’s Premier Sponsor and will print 500 copies of the Workshop’s program with 4 additional pages of information and advertisements for the CCAC. A committee has been selected of readers for submitted manuscripts of 20 pages by writers who would like their work to be reviewed at the Writers Workshop by one of three of our speakers. A discounted student price of $25 was decided upon and we discussed how to get the word out to students at Coronado High School.

It was agreed that we will meet again on September 5, 11 a.m., in the Conference Room.

(2) RBF Consultants has been contracted by the City ($76,000) to assist Coronado in developing a Gateway concept; their scope of work will include public outreach including public workshops, soliciting input from interested stakeholders such as CAC. This project is high on the City’s priority list.

(3) Jeff has emailed Mike, Richard & Ed requesting PAWT participation in project (4) RBF Consultants has been contracted by the City ($76,000) to assist Coronado in developing a Gateway

concept; their scope of work will include public outreach including public workshops, soliciting input from interested stakeholders such as CAC. This project is high on the City’s priority list. Council Members Bailey & Woiwode & engineer Walton. Jeff has requested that both CAC and PAWT be included at all levels of participation in this project.

(5) Last week Linda Stanton and Jeff attended the Coronado Gateway Project Kick-Off meeting with about 18-20 stakeholders in attendance. The RBF Consultants gave a small initial presentation with most of the meeting dedicated to stakeholder comments. Points brought up included: (a) RBF was the initial consultant on this project a few years ago, but once the consultant fees were

spent; it became apparent that the project would require significant additional funds for even the plan development. This first effort was left unfinished until the City was ready to fund Phase II which is what this effort is focused on.

(b) RBF plans to develop 3 alternatives creative, aesthetically pleasing design ideas by April 2015 (c) 2 community workshops

(i) Interactive polling through use of post-it notes (ii) Highlights spectacular history & character of Coronado (iii) 7 road shows (iv) Website input (v) Input from CAC, PAWT, DRC, Residents, Transportation, Bicycle Committee, Stakeholders,

etc (vi) Estimated project cost could be $800K - $2,000,000

1. City has access to $7M in remaining toll income 2. Goal is to begin the actual project work by 2017 3. Complete the project in 2019, in time for the 50th anniversary of the bridge 4. Once the City has a plan, it is estimated that CalTrans will take 6 months to review the

plan (d) Overall consensus is that the current toll plaza area has excellent “bones” for a magnificent

Gateway (i) RBF asserted that they have been successful with other Gateways (ii) Could include a lighting element – possibly the new bridge CalTrans LED lighting design if it

were funded?? (iii) Plan would include

1. New landscaping 2. Will be maintained by the City not CalTrans (per Mike Woiwode) 3. Moving the Coronado Island entrance sign 4. Public Art 5. Textures 6. Vertical development

(iv) Would capture character of the community not simply the neighborhood.

d) Linda - Zahn Family PA commission to PAWT and Zahn family i) Linda & I have made some good progress on your Public Art project/commissioning. We have carefully

measured the south wall at Avenida de Las Arenas we are considering. Linda has taken the next step and laid out scale drawings with representative art on the wall. (1) Please take a look at the scanned pdf attachment. Included are the following:

(a) Page 1 – handwritten sheet including some of the project key elements (b) Page 2 – diagram of the 80’ x 13’ wall (c) Page 3 – the wall with 5 art panels superimposed on it (d) Page 4 – very general art ideas for the 5 panels (e) Page 5 – panel art with further details (f) Page 6 – example of metal plates attached to a wall

(2) The art selection is simply representative not specific. There will be plenty of opportunity to determine exactly what art you would prefer. As noted in the Page 1 attachment, metal art could be flat and tubular attached to the panels by posts.

(3) Now that we have very early/rough ideas, I plan to discuss this further with Glenn Welch to determine if the Shores Landscape Committee would support such an approach. I also will ask our Public Art Committee for their ideas. Ultimately we will help you to find an artist who can carry out this project.

(4) Site Ideas – Appears we have zeroed in on the southwest concrete wall in the public parking lot at the west end of Avenida de Las Arenas. Wall would need to be resurfaced or coated.

(5) Art Medium – Possible 2 or 3 dimensional art attached to the wall - bronze, copper or ceramic (6) Art Content – Possible collage including various seaside scenes/themes/activities – ships, airplanes,

beach, seagulls, boats, kites, waves, starfish, sand dollars, swimmers, birds, surfboard, surfers, “woody”, palm trees, runners, Hotel del Coronado

(7) I’ve spoken with Glenn Welch, Shores property manager. Glenn confirmed that the wall does belong to the Shores and the application process would begin with an email to Glenn providing names of the participants, donors name (he commented that the Zahns as Shores owners, would help), and an overall project description with as much detail as we currently have. He will forward that information to the Shores landscaping committee for their initial input. I advised that at this early stage we would not have a detailed design but would like input from the Shores on the overall concept prior to moving forward with specific details, cost, etc. He understood.

(8) Irwin – Review art displays at the SD Aerospace Museum, & fine tune ideas on seaside scenes/themes/activities; consider mediums further

(9) Jeff – Proposal idea email to Glenn Welch (10) Glenn – Feedback from Shores landscaping committee

e) Bob & Jeff - Received an update on design progress for the new Coronado Senior Center

i) Currently planned within the building are 2 wall water features yet to be determined. Plenty of room inside & outside for a sculptures, etc, but without an exterior design, it would be difficult to even suggest what might work with the Center.

ii) There is an E-W corridor that traverses from the front Orange Ave exterior through the building and back outside again, adjacent to the lawn bowling area that may be a good location for exterior sculptures.

iii) Sr Center Advisory Committee Meeting – Wed, 7/9, 10 am – 12 pm, Community Center (1) $6.5M budget with 20% for actual construction (2) 8860 square feet single story facility immediately adjacent to library

This was pulled from City Council acceptance and presented to Friends of the Library for approval i) Donation accepted by Friends of the Library, 501c3. ii) Jeff arranging shipping iii) Feb unveiling

g) Public Bathroom (portable) – On Wed, July 9th, DRC unanimously approved the latest “Tent City”

graphic design for the public bathroom wrap (PAWT, CAC & the City Mgr had already approved this concept). Coronado map has been updated to include bike paths. CAA has a couple minor fine tunes for the graphics that will be incorporated.

Visual Arts & Film Team Report to CAC for Sept. 4 Meeting August 26, 2014 Doug St. Denis, Chair Action Items: Approve two applications for Visual Arts & Film Working Team

• Uwe Werner • Joanne Siegfried

This will make 15 members including Chair St. Denis

The VA&F Working Team met on Tuesday, August 26 in the Winn Room. Revised definition of “local Coronado artist” for eligibility in Art Under the Umbrellas exhibits will read:

The mission of the Visual Arts & Film Working Team of the Coronado Arts Commission is to provide opportunities for local Coronado artists to promote and sell their work. All participating artists must currently live or own property in Coronado or be employed as a teacher of art in the Coronado Unified School system. An owner or employee of a Coronado business may also qualify. All art offered for sale must be the personal work of the exhibiting artist, and that artist must be present during the exhibit. Representing and/or selling the work of another artist is not permitted. All exhibitors must possess a valid California Sellers Permit if they intend to conduct sales.

Art Under the Umbrellas for Celebrate Oz had 28 exhibiting artists. Huge thanks to Tina Christiansen for chairing this successful event.

Coronado Island Film Festival presented the 1939 Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary edition of the film in 3-D at the Village Theater. Mayor Tanaka welcomed the crowd and film historian, author and journalist Aljean Harmetz introduced the film. There were two screenings, both of which sold out. Thanks to Lance Alspaugh of Vintage Cinemas/Village Theater for sponsoring this event and to Kelly Purvis and fellow CAC commissioners for supporting this event in a big way.

CAC will hold its annual planning workshop on Sept.4 in the Community Center. At 12:30 PM. The VA&F team reviewed and revised its 2014 Goals, to be presented at the workshop.

Kelly Purvis and Doug will present the concept for the proposed Community Gallery (already approved by CAC) in the Rec. center to the Recreation Commission on Monday Sept. 8 at 3:30 in Council Chambers. Director Linda Rahn, who will retire in the fall, will be present. We will ask for the commission’s “blessing” before presenting to City Council for approval at a later date. We hope to fund this through private donors.

We decided to postpone the “A Little Art and Music for a Sunday Afternoon” series at Dan McGeorge’s gallery until next summer. Respectfully Submitted, Doug St. Denis
