A
Good
evening
my
name
is
joan
vordebergen
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d.021
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rule,
so
we
can
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
B
C
A
A
Awesome
well
welcome
to
our
march
meeting.
We
have
a
really
exciting
agenda
this
evening.
We
have
several
guest
speakers,
but
to
kick
us
off.
I
think
we
have
to
kind
of
get
through
our
first
orders
of
business
and
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
combine
an
adoption
of
the
agenda
and
the
acceptance
of
the
february
16th
minutes
from
our
general
meeting.
A
D
A
Hi
and
so
that
those
two
items
pass
thanks
everyone
I
appreciate
it
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
introductions.
So,
typically
for
those
of
you
who
maybe
haven't
been
to
a
commissioner
meeting
or
haven't
been
in
a
while,
we
will
introduce
ourselves
saying
our
names,
our
pronouns,
the
word
you're
serving
in
and
then
something
else
and
we
didn't
get
a
chance
in
the
waiting
room
to
really
come
up
with
some
ideas.
So
I
know
it's
been
a
really
heavy
time.
A
E
F
C
G
H
Hi
mari
share
her
hers
representing
word:
eight
yeah.
I've
also
been
enjoying
helping
out
the
teachers
for
their
strike
as
much
as
possible
I'll,
be
speaking
at
a
rally.
They
have
it
south
tomorrow
evening
and
it's
also
really
great
to
see
all
the
amazing
women
and
femme
leaders
on
the
front
lines
of
the
strike.
I
I
will
share
out
a
kind
of
an
intersection
of
the
different
pieces
people
have
been
talking
about
is
that
I
got
the
opportunity
to
work
downtown
on
monday
from
the
new
city
buildings
and
really
enjoyed
being
immersed
in
the
arts
and
at
city
hall,
and
while
I
was
down
there,
I
got
to
also
witness
the
strike
and
did
some
a
lot
of
honking
and
supporting
as
well.
So
it's
just
an
exciting
and
inspiring
time
to
be
here.
I
will
tag
commissioner
vordenbergen.
A
Thank
you
joan
vorderbergen,
representing
ward
7.
She
her
hers.
I
was
really
excited
to
be
called
upon
to
donate
bullhorns
for
the
strike
I
just.
It
was
flattering
to
me
that
my
friends
know
that
I
have
a
little
collection
of
those
things,
and
so
I
was
able
to
like
battery
them
up
and
get
get
extra
batteries
and
hand
them
out,
and
I
don't
care
if
they
ever
return,
I'm
glad
that
voices
will
be
spoken
loudly
through
them
and
that's
really
exciting.
A
The
other
item,
I
guess
I'll
share
selfishly
I
just
at
5
30,
turned
in
my
last
nursing
assignment
to
get
my
nurse's
license
back
and
it
was
like
such
a
brutal
process.
I
thought
it'd
be
so
easy,
but
it's
like
they
did
not
make
it
easy.
So
that
was
like
a
major
accomplishment
in
between
everything
else.
That's
been
going
on,
so
I
would
like
to
pass
it
to
commissioner
thompson.
E
Hi
everybody
lucy
thompson.
She
her
hers
were
10..
I
don't
have
any
noble
causes
to
talk
about.
I
I'm
doing
I've
been
on
vacation,
so
I
went
to
the
california
building
last
saturday,
which
was
fun
just
because
it's
I
guess
it's
not
a
building.
I
get
to
very
often,
and
they
do
a
second
saturday
open
studio
thing.
So
I
went
and
checked
it
out.
Otherwise,
I've
been
watching
the
indian
wells,
tennis
tournament-
that's
all
I
got
I
don't
have
anything.
J
J
D
B
Hello
everyone
good
evening,
thank
you.
I'm
sorry,
my
mind
just
went
blank
there,
I'm
sorry!
I
apologize
good
to
see
everyone.
I
am
the
admin
staff
for
the
arts,
commission.
It
works
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
for
those
who
are
guests
on
and
just
excited
that
the
weather
is
breaking
and
it's
fine
and
we're
getting
warm
weather.
So
I'm
happy
and
grateful
for
that.
So
and
I
will
tag
talia.
Thank
you.
K
Hi,
I'm
talia
mormon.
She
her
hers.
I
am
the
city's
public
art
coordinator
and
I
also
I
manage
the
city's
public
art
collection
and
I
help
with
permits
for
temporary
art,
which
I
will
talk
about
later
and
I
am
also
super
excited
about
the
warm
weather.
So
I
can
finally
chip
off
the
pack
down
snow
in
my
driveway.
So
it's
not
a
slipping
hazard
anymore.
M
M
M
and
I
guess
I'll
acknowledge
the
f,
almost
full
moon
as
my
check-in,
but
I
also
wanted
to
say
my
my
shirt.
The
zombie
slogan
says:
stop
staring
start
seeing
so
then,
when
it
was
stop
skiing,
start
biking
and
then
stop
staring
start
seeing
couldn't
help
but
make
that
connection.
So
anyway,
thanks
glad
to
be
here.
A
N
N
A
O
O
So
thank
you
guys
for
having
me
and
I'm
just
documenting
just
for
minneapolis
residents
and
I
live
in
ward
5
as
a
resident
and
then
I
also
am
an
arts
and
engagement
specialist
in
the
city
of
brooklyn
park.
So
I
definitely
wanted
to
join
this
art
commission
to
work
with
some
of
you
all
on
the
call,
and
maybe
even
look
at
some
resources
that
we
can
bring
to
brooklyn
park
and
maybe
partner
with
minneapolis
on.
L
A
A
G
I
I
feel,
like
smaller
arts
organizations,
often
kind
of
fly
under
the
radar,
especially
those
that
are
working
with
like
really
specific
communities,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
to
to
have
marin
here
representing
zamiya.
So
we
can
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
what
not
only
kind
of
like
a
small,
hopefully
brief
history
and
what
your
mission
is,
but
also
kind
of
what
you're
up
to
and
what
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
trying
to
accomplish
too
is
hearing
from
different
parts
of
the
city.
Insomnia.
G
I
don't
think
you
know,
has
any
kind
of
geographic
restrictions,
but
does
operate
a
lot
in
downtown,
and
so
we
haven't
really
heard
about
downtown.
But
we
did
hear
about
zamiya
a
little
bit
because
you
have
been
engaged
with
the
city
and
tapped
to
kind
of
inform
some
projects
recently,
which
is
cool.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Martin.
M
Yeah
thanks
thanks
again
for
having
me
well,
yes,
so
zamia
theater
project
we
we're
in
our
17th
year
as
a
as
a
thing,
we've
been
through
different
different
phases
and
we
were
we
started
well.
What
zamiya's
mission
is
to
use
the
power
of
theater
to
build
understanding
and
awareness
about
homelessness
and
to
motivate
people
to
work
towards
housing
justice.
M
M
That's
something
monica
always
says,
like
learning
is
a
way
of
of
serving,
and
that
it'd
also
be
great.
You
know
when
she
was
hearing,
we
should
talk
about
it.
You
said
you
know,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
want
to
do
something
and
they
come
in
and
do
a
project,
and
then
we
don't
see
them
again
and
she
said
I
would
be
really
excited
to
have
something
start
and
maybe
last
and
be
an
ongoing
forum.
M
And
so
those
two
seeds
really
informed
how
you
know
what
happened
next
and-
and
you
know,
alicia
put
together
a
group
of
people-
and
I
was
at
the
time
actually
working
at
saint
stephen's
human
services
doing
some
skits.
We
were
doing
some
skits
in
the
men's,
shelter
there
and
a
friend
of
mine,
joseph
evans,
who
was
a
playwright,
had
just
done
a
residency
with
los
angeles
poverty
department
and
that's
a
skid
row
community
theater
in
la-
and
he
was
here
kind
of
doing
doing
some
work.
M
Myself
included,
the
participants,
were
everyone
in
the
show
had
so
much
fun
and
made
connections
with
each
other,
and
it
it
really
hit
those
points
that
I
mean.
I,
I
think
the
people
who
were
coming
into
it
from
the
perspective
of
feeling
like
they
didn't
know
much
about
homelessness,
it's
kind
of
like
once,
you
start
to
get
to
know
each
other
and
people
the
issue
kind
of
dissolves
right.
It's
just
like
now
we're
just
people
in
a
room.
M
You
know
we
kept
creating
work
and
we
also
formed
a
group
of
actors
who
became
contracted
with
the
company
as
as
the
company
as
the
troop
is
what
we
call
them.
The
troop
and
just
really
invested
in
the
in
the
development
and
the
skill
of
this
group
and
the
experience
creating
together
year
after
year
and
did
you
know,
expanded
our
network
of
who
we
were
performing
for
and
where
we
were
doing
the
workshops
and
then
sort
of
towards
the
latter
part
of
that
we
started
to
expand
the
workshop
piece
of
it.
M
So
we
were
started
doing
residencies
in
places
we
did.
We
actually
did
one
with
crystal
there
at
culture
club
and
we've
done
a
number
in
a
number
of
different
locations
done
these
longer
term
sort
of
the
workshop
process
where
we're
where
we're
hosting
you
know
theater
games
and
dialogue,
and
that
that
becoming
a
way
to
meet
people
and
also
and
new
troop
members
and
create
material,
and
also
we
started
doing
during
that
time.
M
J
M
A
M
M
And
we
are
those
have
now
moved
online
for
the
time
being
and
they're
going
to
start
up
again.
In
a
couple
of
weeks
and
we're
doing
a
couple
of
different
partnerships,
so
we
we
worked
with
the
criminal
justice
lab
of
hennepin
health
research
to
create
a
play
based
on
some
research
that
they
had
done
about
about.
M
Looking
looking
for
how
to
create
a
wellness
program
for
people
who
have
type
2
diabetes
and
who
are
homeless-
and
we
created
a
play
with
from
that
research
as
a
way
of
distributing
the
disseminating
their
their
findings
and
that's
that's
an
ongoing
collaboration
with
them.
We're
also
working
with
a
group
of
of
physicians
who
are
organizing
to
work
for
health
equity,
they're
called
the
campaign
against
racism.
M
It's
a
global
campaign
from
an
organization
called
equal
health
and
but
there's
a
twin
cities
chapter,
and
so
we've
been
working
with
them
to
create
a
a
forum
theater
play,
which
is
a
it's
a
branch
of
theater
of
the
oppressed.
And
it's
it's
a
it's
where
you
some
of
you
may
know
this
kind
of
work,
but
where
you
present
a
scene
and
then
invite
the
audience
to
to
problematize
it
and
then
come
up
with
solutions
and
intervene
and
get
involved
and
and
act
out
new
ways
of
of
approaching
situations.
M
It's
often
referred
to
as
rehearsing
for
the
revolution,
so
we've
been
working
on
that
and
we're
also
doing
a
project.
We've
been
we've
been
doing
some
work
in
greater
minnesota.
We
created
a
radio
play
a
prairie
homeless
companion
and
we're
continuing
to
do
to
work
on
that
and
gather
stories
from
different
regions
of
minnesota
and
and
adapt
that
for
different.
We
did
southwest
minnesota
and
now
we're
going
to
be
doing
one
central
minnesota
later
this
year
and
all
oh
in
addition
for
downtown.
M
We
just
started
talking
with
the
north
loop
neighbors
about
some
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
north
loop
and
are
starting
to
talk
about
a
partnership
there,
so
lots
of
stuff
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
and
elsewhere.
So
that's
about
that's
kind
of
the
rundown
of
all.
We
have
going
on
right
now,
anything
else.
Any
questions.
A
G
What
do
you
think
is
kind
of
I
mean
I
guess
I
want
to
say
like
some
of
the
their
needs
at
the
moment
or,
like
I
guess,
zamiya
to
as
an
organization,
because
we're
always
kind
of
wanting
to
know
how
we
can
support
the
work
being
done
in
the
city
and
connect
folks.
So
I'm
just
wondering
as
artists
like
either
individual
artists
or
or
zamya
like
how?
What
do
you
see
as
kind
of
barriers
or
needs
in
of
the
moment.
M
M
I
mean
this
is
gigantic
thing,
but
you
know
we
really
do
are
constantly
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
work
with
people
to
pay
people
to
work
who
are
receiving
ver,
all
the
various
forms
of
support
for
housing
or
support
for
food
stamps
or
support,
and
then
how
much
everything
just
gets
so
convoluted
the
minute
somebody
gets
an
80
check
it
like
throws
things
into
chaos,
and
I
just
feel
like
something
about
the
freelance.
You
know
that
basic
income,
that's
the
solution.
M
M
You
know,
keep
things
the
way
they
are
you
know
so,
but
we
we
want
to
compensate
people,
obviously,
because
that's
because
they're
doing
the
work,
so
those
those
are
two
things
that
came
in
right
away
when
you
asked
that-
and
I
think
you
know-
maybe
connections
like
where
you
know
we
are
trying
to
we're.
You
know
we're
looking
at
some
of
these
rfps
that
are
coming
out.
The
partnership,
engagement
and
the
the
health
department
had
the
wellness.
M
There
was
a
wellness
grant
and
it's
like.
Oh,
we
can
kind
of
see
how
our
work
fits
in
all
these
different
ways
and
again
I'm
sure
this
is
not
something
that
is
unfamiliar
to
anyone
on
this
call.
But
just
you
know
a
little
bit
here
a
little
bit
there
and
it's
so
much
work
to
kind
of,
explain
everything,
and
then
you
don't
even
know
if
you're
gonna
get
it
and
it's
like.
Is
there
some
way
to
just
universal
basic
income
for
the
non-profit,
the
small
non-profits
of
the
world?
M
A
It
feels
like
a
city
vendor
process
too,
like
just
navigator
of
some
kind
to
just
simplifying
that
process
and
making
it
less
arduous
and
and
maybe
changing
some
of
the
evaluation
and
reporting
too
I
mean,
I
guess,
we're
kind
of
getting
the
weeds
with
it.
But
it's
like
also
on
the
back
end
too.
It's
like
once
you've
done
all
of
that
really
heavy
lifting
to
get
those
grant
proposals
submitted
through
the
vendor
system
that
and
how
it
you
know
how
particular
it
can
be
and
how
tricky
it
can
be.
M
E
M
M
The
experience
and
the
needs
and
the
atmosphere
I
mean
we
have
had
some
young
people
join
the
company
for
a
while,
and
it's
always
so
great
to
have
that
range.
We
have
an
80
year
old,
troop
member.
We
have
so
it's
like
when
we
have
a
young
person.
It's
like
this
whole
spread
of
of
life,
and
it's
it's
I
I
I
it's
something
that
we
really
value
and
want
as
a
part
of
the
work
that
we
do
and
it's
like.
I
say
it's,
it's
just
it's
it's.
M
B
A
So
delightful
to
see
you
again
and
for
those
who
haven't
met
you
yet
I
think
it's
been
a
real
treat,
and
hopefully
there
can
be
some
ways
that
the
arts
commission
can
continue
to
spread.
The
good
word
about
the
work
that
you
lead
with
samya
and
keep
us
in
the
loop
too.
If
there's
something
that
you
think
that
we
can
be
helpful
with
too
you
know,
you
know
who
to
call.
A
Well,
that's!
Okay!
That's!
Okay!
Okay,
with
that,
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
speaker,
who
is
we're
gonna,
be
talking
about
the
south
lynn
lake
business
association,
greenway
mural
by
reggie
laflore.
We
have
a
approval
of
design
recommendation
this
evening,
so
you
should
have
received
some
preliminary
materials
that
you
could
skim,
but
I
believe
talia
will
be,
will
walk
us
through
a
brief
presentation
and
we
can
have
a
brief
discussion
too
and
then
of
course,
morgan.
K
So
the
lynn
lake
small
business
association
is
applying
to
us
install
a
greenway
mural
under
the
bridges
at
bryant
and
aldrich
avenue
south.
They
would
like
to
install
these
murals
during
their
lynn
lake
street
art
festival,
where
they
invite
local
and
national
artists
to
install
murals
on
the
lynn
lake
buildings
this
year.
They
would
like
to
include
their
first
publicly
held
space
along
greenway
with
the
goal
to
encourage
more
visitors,
improve
the
experience
of
coming
up
to
the
lynn
lake
business
corridor
and
to
educate
people
on
the
greenways
history.
K
To
date
they
have
supported
over
200
artists
and
added
150
images
to
their
commercial
corridor.
The
lynn
lake
business
association
did
not
have
an
open
call
for
artists.
They
felt
after
five
years
of
their
festival.
They
know
many
local
artists
and
did
not
feel
a
national
call
would
be
appropriate
for
this
project.
Instead,
they
selected
a
successful
artist
that
they
have
worked
with
in
the
past,
who
they
felt
could
deliver
excellent
work
and
has
an
understanding
of
the
area.
K
You
can
see
page
two
of
the
application
for
more
details
on
the
selection
committee
and
their
selection
criteria.
They
selected
are
just
regular
floor
and
I
will
be
scrolling
through
some
of
his
past
examples,
because
this
is
an
early
design
review
application.
So
there's
no
final
design
yet
because
artist
is
still
working
on
it,
and
so,
instead
of
the
final
design,
they
show
previous
work.
K
K
A
I
don't
have
a
question
I
just
I'm
excited
to
see
the
growth
of
the
program
and
that
there's
this
maturity
in
the
artists
that
are
being
engaged
and
that
the
the
artist
reggie
lafleur
clearly
has
a
lot
of
great
work
all
throughout
the
twin
cities.
So
that's
super
exciting.
I
wonder
morgan.
Do
you
want
to
contribute
any
information
about
the
project
to
the
commission.
N
N
So
we
started
in
november
and
I'm
grateful
that
we
did
that
because
it
is
time
consuming,
but
it
really,
it
helped
us
get
way
clearer
about
what
we
wanted
to
do
and
we
learned
a
lot
about
the
greenway
and
its
history,
and
I
know
that
that
will
influence
the
artist.
We
had
some
round
tables
about
the
greenway
history
and
you
know
kind
of
like
evenings
of
research,
just
combing
over
old
photos
and
just
kind
of
having
an
understanding
of
how
how
railroad
impacted
this
area
and
how
it's
transformed
since
then.
N
So
while
it
was
like
a
very
time
consuming
process,
I
I
appreciated
it
because
I
know
that
we'll
have
better
art
because
of
it
more
impactful
and
more
meaningful,
and
it
also
helped
us
pick
our
artist
reggie.
You
know
who
we've
had
he's
been
in
our
street.
Art
festival
the
last
couple
of
years
and
he's
just
a
really
dependable
artist
and
and
was
equally
as
interested
in
the
history
of
the
area.
So
yeah
we're
super
excited
about
it.
A
E
A
P
L
A
A
E
P
A
Hi
and
with
that
that
motion
passes,
congratulations,
morgan
and
everyone
involved.
Thank
you
tali
very
much.
We
really
appreciate
the
time
you've
spent
on
this,
and
and
thank
you
for
this
tremendous
gift
to
the
city,
we'll
be
so
excited
to
see
your
project
as
it
manifests,
and
let
us
know
if
there's
anything
else,
that
we
can
do
to
be
helpful
to
you.
A
Awesome
awesome
thanks,
everybody,
okay,
let's
move
on
to
our
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
we
have
invited
golgoon
to
while
she
often
times
attends
these
meetings
and
interacts
with
the
commission
in
various
capacities.
We
thought
it
was
a
really
nice
moment
in
time
to
give
her
some
time
this
evening
to
just
discuss
the
work
that
she
does
on
behalf
of
her
department
of
arts,
culture
and
the
creative
economy.
A
L
Sorry
about
that,
thank
you,
everyone
for
inviting
me
I'm
appreciative
of
this
opportunity,
which
was
inspired
by
your
strategic
planning
process.
It
struck
me
that
it
this
might
be
a
good
opportunity
for
you
all
to
learn
a
bit
about
what
my
office
does,
as
you
think,
about
the
new
department,
as
you
think
about
planning
in
the
future.
So
a
little
bit
about
myself
before
I
go
into
the
details,
I
am
an
immigrant
to
this
country.
I
am
turkish.
L
I
came
to
study
at
the
university
of
minnesota
in
theater
arts,
hi
marin.
I
know
marin
for
a
long
time
and
and
I
still
practice
as
an
artist.
I
also
held
a
number
of
positions
in
organizations
in
the
city
at
the
bush
foundation
at
the
westmont
art
museum
and
I've
also
been
a
consultant
working
with
forecast
and
springboard,
as
well
as
other
organizations,
so
that
just
gives
you
a
bit
of
a
an
understanding
of
where
I
come
from
in
terms
of
culturally
and
also
in
terms
of
work
practices.
A
L
I
apologize
for
this
yeah,
sorry
about
that.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
a
sort
of
a
grounding.
There
are
two
arts
dedicated
programs
in
the
city.
There
are
other
departments
that
spends
money
on
arts,
but
the
two
that
exist
are
within
the
office
of
the
city
coordinator
and
embedded
in
the
strategic
initiative
initiatives.
L
I
have
a
really
sticky
key
in
this
computer
and
for
some
reason
it's
it
keeps
turning
things
off
just
so
you
can
see
where
it
sits.
Inside
of
the
city
structure,
you
can
see
here's
the
coordinator,
his
community
planning
and
economic
development,
and
the
coordinator
has
a
number
of
different
departments
that
report
directly
to
it.
I'm
inside
the
coordinator's
administration.
L
Seeing
some
difficulties
again,
good
god,
this
is
not
working
for
me,
oh
boy,
oh
here
we
go,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
strategic
initiatives
inside
of
my
office
is
a
number
of
other
initiatives,
including
race
equity,
promising
human
trafficking.
Just
so,
I
can
give
you
a
sense
of
grounding
in
what
the
differences
are.
Two
different
business
plans,
two
different
histories
of
development,
two
different
missions.
L
One
other
thing
to
remember
is
a
feature
of
my
programs,
so
when
I
arrived
in
the
city
in
2011,
I
had
no
budget
and
no
staff.
So
really
it
was
a
bit
of
a
challenge
to
get
things
done,
to
say
the
least,
and
I
had
a
long
list
of
things
to
do,
and
so
what
I
then
started
to
do
was
to
apply
for
grant
funding.
60
of
my
budget
is
based
on
grants
and
because
of
that,
the
projects
that
I
do
tend
to
be
one-offs.
L
L
Another
thing
to
bear
in
mind
is:
I
have
lots
of
different
deliverables,
as
you
can
see
that
that
the
current
mission
has
more
economic
focuses,
but
in
the
past
it's
really
depended
on
the
elected
administration,
so
the
elected
officials
do
very
much
drive
what
the
coordinator
does
and,
as
a
result
drive
my
work.
So
the
deliverables
are
different,
the
processes
are
different
and
they
tend
to
be
sporadic.
L
We
also
define
the
creative
sector.
This
project
was
brought
to
us
by
community
and
by
elected
officials
at
the
same
time,
in
order
to
define
what
it
is
we're
talking
about.
We
also
provide
data,
as
you
can
say,
for
the
city,
so
this
is
just
about
minneapolis
and
data
for
the
metropolitan
area
and
the
role
that
the
arts
commission
has
had
is
actually
to
help
us
establish
the
report.
L
Next
is
an
artist
in
residence
program.
We
are
calling
creative
city
making.
This
was
a
a
project
that
started
off
as
a
special
project
with
intermedia
arts
that
came
to
my
office,
and
we
worked
with
who
received
funding
from
our
place.
America,
and
we
worked
with
the
planning
office
who
helped
structure
what
creative
city
making
is.
L
It
was
an
artist-in-residence
program
and
intermedia
held
the
funds
and
implemented
the
program
with
the
idea
that
we'd
develop
a
format
that
could
be
offered
to
other
departments
of
the
city
and
that
my
program
would
have
some
involvement
in
implementation
working
in
partnership
with
intermediate
arts.
However,
as
we
all
know
into,
we
lost
intermedia
and
when
we
lost
intermedia,
my
office
took
that
program
over
and
kept
it
alive
inside
the
city
and
received
funding
to
implement
it
in
2018.
L
The
work
of
creative
city
making
is
really
to
partner
artists,
with
city
departments,
to
integrate
not
just
the
arts
into
those
departments,
but
also
to
integrate
policy
making
and
engagement
practices.
In
fact,
we
had
a
project
that
had
theater
of
the
oppressing
regulatory
services
working
with
city
inspectors
that
was
very
effective,
so
I'm
just
noting
that
that
work
that
samia
just
talked
about
is
extraordinarily
effective.
L
The
collaborations
that
we
manage
we've
had
22
artists,
working
with
eight
city
depart
departments,
and
it's
really
field
tested
tools.
Community
engagement
and
civic
engagement,
focused
and
centered
around
underrepresented
communities,
the
minneapolis
arts
commission's
role
in
this
has
been
relatively
recent.
We
have
a
very
very
involved
selection
process,
and
so
we
need
the
expertise
of
the
arts
commission
on
the
selection
committee,
which
runs
over
more
than
one
day.
L
The
other
types
of
work
I
do
are
partnerships.
When
I
say
partnerships,
these
are
grants
that
require
some
level
of
partnership.
I
showed
these
other
partnerships
that
have
disappeared,
the
art
place
and
bloomberg
grants.
Our
town
is
the
only
one
that
remains,
and
this
particular
grant
work
process
was
already
underway.
L
What
we
do
is
we
partner,
we
support
the
application
and
then
really
we
step
away,
and
so
the
quite
a
bit
of
work
has
been
in
the
special
projects
category.
So
I
want
to
remind
you
that
this
is
the
one-time
funding
project,
so
they
come
with
grant
dollars
attached
awesome
some
cases
with
some
city
money
attached,
but
it's
one
time,
so
we
don't
get.
We
don't
have
the
stability
of
regular
processes
to
rely
on
here's
a
list
of
the
projects
I've
done
since
I've
arrived
in
the
city.
L
The
crossed
out
ones
represent
projects
that
are
no
longer
around
because
the
funding
was
gone
either
they
were
built
to
be
one
time
or
the
funding
disappeared.
The
current
projects
are
listed
here
and
the
two
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
opportunities
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
them.
First
is
the
creative
response
fund.
L
Last
year
we
had
an
arts,
commissioner,
sit
on
the
selection
committee,
oops
sorry,
and
we
look
and
also
the
arts
commissioner,
helped
with
application
testing
each
year.
We
get
feedback
from
people
that
we
have
funded
the
previous
year
and
we
look
at
has
each
year
we
review
that
process
and
see
if
it's
still
functioning
as
it
was
really
the
first
round
of
funding
to
the
community.
Last
year.
We
wanted
to
re-engage
this
year
and
test
that
application
and
make
sure
it
was.
It
was
accessible,
relatable,
understandable,
etc.
L
L
My
office
was
awarded
500
000
through
federal
resources,
called
the
american
rescue
plan,
and
we
are
looking
to
develop
a
business
support,
programming
for
arts
organizations,
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
and
we're
looking
for
at
least
four
to
six
arts
commissioners
that
are
interested
in
attending
at
least
two
meetings.
No
excuse
me
not
too
many.
We
think
two
meetings.
We
might
add
a
third,
if
necessary,
to
help
us
develop
the
policies
for
this
application
as
it's
a
one-time
opportunity,
because
these
resources
will
go
away
and
we
will
also
test
the
application
and
have
a
selection
committee.
L
Those
dates
represent
the
dates
when
the
opportunities
will
happen
and
thank
you.
I
invite
everyone
to
check
out
the
website
that
is
managed
by
my
office.
There
are
other
things
that
I
do,
such
as
the
newsletter
which
I'm,
if
you
haven't
signed
up
for
it,
you
really
should
sign
up
for
it,
because
you
can
track
a
lot
of
the
work
that
my
office
does,
but
I
wanted
to
just
share
this
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
I
hope
I
wasn't
too
long
because
those
glitches
weren't
lying
sorry
about
that.
E
Yeah
thanks
for
that
goon.
That
was
really
helpful,
especially
being
a
somewhat
new
commissioner.
That
was
really
really
helpful.
I
think
I
think
I'm
still
confused
about
the
artisan
residency
program.
Is
it
still
in
place?
Are
you
still
do
you
still
have
the
eight
city
departments
and
the
22
artists,
or
was
2018
the
last
year
or
what.
L
J
L
Did
the
iterative
you
know
application
of
that
idea?
We
really
wanted
to
explore.
What
could
artists
do
inside
of
city
departments
and
planning?
Was
the
perfect
place
to
do
that,
and
once
we
learned
that
we
then
offered
it
to
other
departments?
But
when
I
say
we,
it
was
intermedia
that
did
the
implementation,
it
we
lost
intermedia.
So
my
program
took
on
the
task
of
really
delivering
or
everything
and
hired
two
staff,
but
as
it
was
funded
by
the
kresge
foundation,
I
lost
that
to
staff.
I.
L
Requesting
funding
from
the
mayor,
we
did
have
a
mayor
who
did
put
some
money
towards
the
program,
but
it
wasn't
enough
for
us
to
cover
two
staff.
So
we
have
some
resources
it's
right
now,
because
I
lost
the
staff
right
now,
I'm
sort
of
trying
to
decide
how
to
move
forward,
also
there's
the
new
department
and
so
holding
off
on
trying
to
invite
more
work,
because
it's
not
like
I
put
artists
in
departments
and
they
stay
there
the
whole
time.
It's
not
like
the
saint
paul
model,
where
one
person
stays
for
a
long
time.
L
Our
departments
come
to
our
office
offer
projects.
We
then
do
an
open
call
and
match
those
artists
to
those
projects,
and
once
those
projects
are
over,
the
department
can
continue
to
work
with
the
artists
if
they
sh,
if
they
wish,
and
then
they
spend
their
own
money
or
it's
done
so.
The
census
was
a
project
that
was
one-off,
but
then
the
tenant
voices,
which
is
the
project
in
regulatory
services
that
took
four
years
because
the
regulate
the
inspectors
found
a
lot
of
value
in
that
work.
L
A
D
Yeah
I'd
be
interested
in
the
second
one,
the
that
you
mentioned,
and
could
you
put
the
presentation
in
the
chat?
I
love
the
the
city
and
I'm
still
trying
I'm
like
you
lucy,
trying
to
understand
how
everything
kind
of
works
and
connects,
and
I
love
those
the
graphs
and
the
charting
of
the
of
where
your
organization
fits
into
the
overall
city.
So.
L
P
L
L
So
if
you
go
look
up
the
city's
budget,
it's
it's
in
the
budget
pages,
okay,
but
I'm
happy
to
also
provide
them,
and-
and
just
so
you
know-
just
a
sort
of
a
proviso
to
all
this.
With
the
new
strong
mayor
system,
the
the
vote
that
happened
to
give
the
man
more
power
that
structure
with
the
city,
the
large
one,
is
going
to
change
as
well
the
structure
for
the
coordinator's
office
because
it
impacts
every
department
and
then
with
the
development
of
the
new
department.
L
Different
plans,
different
work
plans
different
it's
just
just
just
so.
You
know.
That's
been
some
of
the
challenge
of
working
inside
a
dispersed
structure
like
this,
but
thank
you
jeff.
I
will
I'll
definitely
reach
out
mina
mangal
vedanka
is
the
contractor
who's.
The
project
manager
for
this
for
the
business
support
and
I'll
have
her
reach
out
to
you
for
participation.
L
Thank
you,
so
I
can
accommodate
more
if
more
folks
want
to
participate.
I
was
hoping
for
four,
but
two
is
fine.
We
can
get
it
done
quicker,
but
hopefully
more
than
that,
what
we'll
be
doing
isn't
going
over
criteria
for
selection,
eligibility,
that
type
of
things
establishing
kind
of
the
core
of
the
selection
process
and
then
really
working
on
accessibility
and
and
all
the
kind
of
nuts
and
bolts
of
application
processes.
A
So
that's
yeah
this
I
mean,
I
think
that
that
opportunity
to
be
there
to
help
to
define
the
criteria
is
hugely
influential
to
the
process
and
that's
very
impactful
decision
making.
So
I
encourage
anyone
who
wants
to
be
a
part
of
that
process
even
from
a
learning
perspective,
or
you
know
just
bringing
whatever
considerations
that
you
would
like
for
there
to
be
with
this
process.
That
would
be
a
really
great
use
of
of
the
commission's
extra
time
and
and
as
a
special
project.
So
that's
really
great
golgum.
A
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
us.
Is
there
any
other
questions?
Certainly
galgoon
is
available.
You
know
via
email
if
people
have
additional
questions
that
they
might
think
of
in
the
interim,
but
we
really
appreciate
you
taking
time
with
us
today
to
explain
in
more
detail
the
work
that
you
are
leading
and
the
opportunities
that
we
face.
So
thank
you
for
putting
this
together
and
and
presenting
it
to
us
this
evening.
We
appreciate
it.
A
E
Do
it
joan
all
right
I'll,
take
the
part
about
the
canvassing
and
then
I
think
maybe
ahava,
maybe
is
going
to
do
the
poet
laureate
part,
but
so
lana
is
compiling
all
of
the
notes
from
all
of
us
meeting
with
our
council
members
and
she
said
that
she
hopes
to
post
them
on
teams
by
the
end
of
next
week.
So
she
and
with
her
recent
getting
stuck
in
colorado,
maybe
that'll,
be
delayed
a
little
bit.
E
But
so
she
said,
if
you
do
have
any
notes
that
you
haven't
sent
to
her
yet
to
just.
Please
send
them
on
to
her
and
joan
I
don't
know
if
you
still
want
them
copied
to
you
just
fyi,
but
so
so
do
that.
Please
and
then
she
just
had
a
little
reminder
just
to
if
you're
having
trouble-
and
maybe
everyone
knows
us-
probably
you
do
already.
E
But
if
you're
having
trouble
getting
in
touch
with
your
council
members,
the
aides
usually
have
much
better
availability
or,
if
they're
doing
open
office
hours
to
just
kind
of
go
to
one
of
those
and
have
a
conversation.
So
so
that's
what
lana
wanted
to
you
to
know
about
that.
Just
a
couple
other
things
from
the
non-poet
laureate
part
of
our
meeting.
E
So
we
were,
we
just
want
to
kind
of
be
aware
of
that,
and
you
know,
of
course
we
hope
in
the
new
department
that
mac
is
more
visible
in
general,
but
just
something
that
mary
brought
to
our
attention.
At
that
time.
The
time
of
our
meeting
she
said
there
there
was
a
job
description
being
routed
for
the
new
director.
E
A
A
I
Yes,
that
was
a
great
update,
yes
jack
and
I
we're
gonna
tag
team.
The
poet
laureate
update
the
big
takeaway
is
just
that
we
are
wanting
to
move
full
force
ahead
and
making
the
poet
laureate
come
to
fruition
this
year,
and
we
talked
a
pheromone
at
our
meeting
this
week
about
with
the
timeline
of
getting
the
new
director
for
the
department
in
place
that
we
don't
want
to
lose
the
momentum
or
the
budget
allocation
we
have
for
the
poet
laureate,
and
so,
as
a
poet
laureate
working
group.
I
I
know
one
of
our
next
steps
is
to
to
get
to
get
together
and
come
up
with
some
potential
action
steps,
ways
that
we
can
support,
making
it
come
to
fruition
and
whether
that
selection
process
or
partnering
with
hennepin
county
libraries
et
cetera.
So
I
guess
the
biggest
update
is
just
that
we
are
dedicated
to
moving
forward
with
the
poet.
F
Yeah,
I
would
just
add
that
we
are
trying
to
develop
some
creative
approaches
to
how
to
get
this
momentum
going
forward
and
a
large
part
of
that
is
kind
of
taking
on
the
effort
of
coming
up
with
the
selection
panel.
You
know
the
timeline
and
and
really
finding
a
creative
way
to
have
the
funds
administered.
F
So
all
right.
What
we're
kind
of
developing
right
now
is
a
timeline
of
you
know.
When
funds
will
be
administered
to
the
poet
laureate,
we're
thinking
about
four
times
per
year
with
certain
deliverables
from
the
artist
and
we're
still
kind
of
deliberating
about
that
and
figuring
out
what
that
looks
like,
but
we,
our
draft
timeline
right
now,
is
really
looking
forward
to
maybe
june
as
a
place
that
we
would
actually
have
a
poet
laureate
in
place,
and
it's
a
little
bit
further
than
our
timeline
that
we
wanted.
F
But
it's
it's
still
moving
the
process
forward
and
and
really
trying
to
get
this
off
the
ground
because
we
don't
want
it
to
get
dropped
and
and
and
lana
had
said
in
the
past
that
you
know
this
initiative
has
you
know,
gone
through
and
got
the
funding
and
then
it
just
totally
like
bailed,
and
we
don't
want
that
to
happen.
So
so
if
that
means
a
little
extra
work
on
our
part
to
you
know,
have
this
process
move
forward,
then
we're
willing
to
do
so
and
we
we
agree
that
our
last
meeting.
F
As
a
poet
laureate
for
the
city
and
the
second
year
would
really
try
to
showcase
or
highlight
a
youth
poet,
laureate
or
even
a
youth
poet,
laureate,
cohort
we've
talked
about,
and
and
and
and
you
really
like,
that
engagement
idea
with
with
an
established
poet
laureate,
so
that
that
that
is
definitely
in
our
midst
and
we're
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
it's
gonna
work
with
our
timeline.
Now.
A
G
Gosh
everybody
has
some
cool
news,
I'm
just
being
really
impressed
right
now
by
all
the
work,
that's
being
done,
good
job,
everyone,
we,
the
access
and
engagement
team,
has
been
coordinating
our
artist
panel
conversation
years
in
the
making.
This
month,
thursday
march
31st
from
6
30
to
7
30
pm
will
be
the
active
conversation.
G
We
have
confirmed
a
facilitator,
trisha
hearing
of
public
functionary
and
six
artists
that
have
experience
with
the
city,
and
just
so
you
know
they
are
kalitao
marlena
miles
moncoy
and
doci
christopher
harrison,
atsindraez
fernandes
and
witsy
assoco.
It's
gonna
be
a
great
conversation
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
it.
You're
all
invited-
and
I
hope
you
all
tune
in
we'll
document
it
for
sure.
G
The
goal
of
this
conversation
is
to
really
get
feedback
and
input
from
the
artists
that
have
experience
with
the
city
to
determine
what
works,
what
doesn't
ideas,
etc.
So,
please
send
me
you
can
email
me
any
kind
of
like
thoughts
or
maybe
there's
like
things
that
you
think
you
know
should
be
addressed.
I
mean
an
hour
isn't
that
long,
especially
when
there's
seven
people
involved,
but
but
I
do
I
would
I'm
definitely
we
we
welcome
your
your
input.
G
This
is
a
really
special
occasion,
so
it's
gonna
be
great
and
we're
also
working
on
future
guests
for
our
meetings.
Although
the
budget
piece
of
our
commission
isn't
exactly
the
same
as
it
has
been
in
years
past
because
of
the
development
of
this
new
department,
so
we're
kind
of
taking
it
quarter
by
quarter
lucy.
Do
you
have
your.
G
Yeah
I
mean
we
did.
We
did
talk
about
a
time
frame
thing.
There
is
a
little
room
on
either
end
thanks
to
tina
for
the
team's
platform
to
be
accessible
so,
but
we
did
talk
about
yeah,
just
making
this
very
feeling
like
a
thing
that
an
artist
a
working
artist,
many
of
whom
are
parents
and
etc
can
commit
to
yeah
but
yeah
yeah
yeah.
We
just
wanted
to
be
like
minimize
those
barriers.
G
I
think
all
the
artists
are
they're,
all
they're,
all
very
responsive
and
really
open
to
participating.
So
I
do
suspect
that
if
there
were
like
burning,
you
know,
follow-up
questions
or
something
that
we
could
approach
them.
But
it's
gonna
be
a
it's
gonna,
be
a
power
packed
hour
yeah.
So
look
for
that
invite
for
the
link
to
the
team's
meeting
and
thank
you
tina
for
setting
that
up
appreciate
it.
A
It
started
with
the
survey,
development
and
identifying
survey,
respondents
and
then
sort
of
feeding
and
teasing
this
idea,
and
so
just
huge
hats
off
to
the
access
team,
for
you
know
taking
the
time
to
be
sure
that
this
is
executed
in
a
way
where
we're
really
engaging
artists
and
feeling
them
feeling
very
welcome
to
share
their
experiences
with
us.
In
this
way.
It's
still,
I
think
everybody
had
hoped
that
we
would
be
back
together
again
at
this
point.
A
I
think
that
could
be
happening
soon,
but
I'm
I'm
just
glad
that
you
all
have
shoved
through
and
are
making
it
happen
and
that
you
have
such
an
all-star
group
of
artists
that
I
think
are
gonna,
we'll
be
able
to
learn
a
lot
about
what
their
experience
has
been
and
where
there
may
be
some
future
opportunities.
So
that's
so
so
everybody
go
everybody
attend
and
good
luck
access.
Let
any
of
us
know
that
maybe
isn't
in
your!
You
know
immediate
team.
A
G
Anyone
can
tune
in,
but
I
mean
that's
something
that
I'm
not
familiar
with
either.
Frankly,
so
I
know
we
have
our
facebook
page
it's
on
limbs,
which
is
the
website
which
I
mean
I
don't
think
I
would
ever
look
at
personally
or
like
think,
to
look
at
what's
happening
and
so
yeah
I
mean
that's
a
good
point.
Maybe
something
that
all
of
us
could
do
is
you
know,
share
it
or
email
it
or
even
just
like,
I
don't
know
somehow
spread.
The
word.
A
F
E
Jack,
I
I'd
also
know
you
know.
When
we
met
with
the
ward
10
council
member.
She
said
she
wants
to
be
informed
of
stuff
and
would
love
to
attend,
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
send
it
to
all
the
council
members
they
might
put
it
in
their
newsletter.
Well,
their
newsletter
might
have
gone
out
already
for
march,
but
whatever,
if
they
do
emails
or
something
but
councilmember
shangtai
was
really
interested
in
working
with
us
and
getting
word
out
about
stuff.
So
I'd
love,
maybe
that's
a
an
option
too.
E
A
How
about
this
jack,
if
you're
willing,
will
you
please
reach
out
to
mary
tomorrow
to
ask
her
or
whenever
you
can
kind
of
asap?
If
it's
okay,
if
you
make
a
facebook
invite
or
a
facebook
event
page
that
we
can
all
share
and
then,
if
there's
a
quick
who?
What?
Where,
when
and
a
link,
maybe
crystal
you
can
get
that
to
jack
or
something
there's
some
way
for
you
to
coordinate
and.
A
You
have
that,
if
we're
able
to
do
it
and
as
soon
as
you
have
that
link,
you
know,
I
can
imagine
the
artist's
names
and
that
kind
of
stuff
would
be
in
there
then
sending
that
to
the
to
everyone
and,
let's
all
each
of
us
invite
our
council
members
to
attend
like
as
a
minimum
and
then,
if
there's
other
folks
that
you
want
to
you
know,
use
your
own
personal
networks
feel
free
to,
but
as
a
minimum.
Let's
invite
our
council
members.
F
P
G
F
A
Yeah,
and
maybe
that
maybe
just
in
the
interim
before
we
start
to
hopefully
get
a
little
more
sophisticated
with
these
types
of
things
that
that
video
could
also
live
on
our
facebook
page
or
even
on
the
website
for
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
right,
like
that's
another,
I
don't
know
how
frequently
it's
viewed,
but
still
like
that's
an
area.
We
could
populate
some
content,
so,
okay,
cool
all
right.
Those
action
steps
feel
okay,
yeah
all
right,
we'll
get
the
word
out,
awesome
great
job.
You
guys!
Thank
you
so
much.
A
So
we
are
one
minute
over
time.
I
apologize.
I
I
believe
that
I
will
go
last.
I
think
the
pub
unless
the
public
art
committee
has
anything.
I
know
that
I
think
tonight
we
had
decided
that
the
greenway
mural
was
going
to
be
the
update.
Is
there
anything
else,
though,
commissioners,
mansfield
or
smith,
that
we
may
have
missed
that
you
want
to
share.
O
E
A
Oh
cool,
okay,
that
sounds
good
and
then
the
last
is
just
the
executive
updates.
You
should
have
received
notes
from
the
retreat.
They
were
missing
some
comments
from
commissioner
thompson
and
I
think
because
we
are
over
time.
What
I
would
like
to
suggest
I
do
is
that
I
think
we
just
need
to
meld
her
comments
into
the
the
information
that
you
were
given
and
we'll
send
out.
Maybe
a
little
bit
of
a
better
summarized
notes.
Cheat.
A
I
can
work
on
that,
but
one
thing
I
just
want
to
mention
to
you
all
is
that
it
was
a
great
think
tank.
There
were
a
lot
of
ideas.
Please
read
the
notes,
especially
the
the
amended
ones,
that
I'm
going
to
send
you
hopefully
this
week
and
just
know
that
long
term
goals
are
going
to
be
on
our
executive
committee
agenda
now
moving
forward
every
month
so
that
they
don't
get
lost.
A
We
are
looking
at
considering
like
what
is
a
field
scan
of
what
other
commissions
do
and
how
it
how
it
looks
compared
to
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
so
that's
really
awesome.
Commissioner
ellsworth
is
really
committed
to
creating
some
field.
Scan
information
and
taking
another
look
at
what
seattle
and
denver
and
some
of
the
other
like
cities
that
might
be
comparable
to
ours.
We
want
to
potentially
work
on
the
recruitment
process
for
commissioners.
We
know
that
that
needs
some
work
and
that's
another
whole
job.
It
is.
A
We
do
now
have
identified
heather
johnson
as
the
person
who
we
need
to
get
in
front
of.
So
that
was
a
big
piece
of
this
and
how
we
understand
where
we
fit
in
the
development
of
the
department-
and
it
really
starts
with
the
hiring
of
this
director
like
how
do
we
fit
into
that
process?
So
more
to
come
about
that,
and
I
think
that
those
are
the
big,
the
big
pieces,
long-term
goals,
department,
development
and
you
know
onboarding
and
really
thinking
about
where
the
rest
of
the
slate
is
gonna
come
from.
A
A
Here
we
go
with
that,
we
have
completed
all
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
I
will
ask
members
and
staff
if
there
are
any
other
matters
to
come
before
this
meeting,
if
not
and
without
objection.
I
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
april
20th,
I
believe,
and
actually
we
will
see
you
on
march
31st
at
that
artist
panel,
on
teams
and
congrats
to
everyone.
You
guys
do
such
amazing
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
