Description
Arts Advisory Committee meeting from March 10, 2022. For full meeting agenda visit https://bit.ly/3t3teD2
B
B
B
Like
I
said
we
do
have
quorum.
I
did
receive
regrets
from
alicia
mark
jillian
and
liz,
so
they
won't
be
joining
us.
Anne
is
here
as
she
stated,
but
she
will
be
off
camera
this
morning
and
we
have
no
members
of
the
public
with
us
this
morning
either.
So
I
will
actually
get
the
meeting
started
as
we
need
to
do
election
of
officers
for
this
year.
B
C
B
E
B
A
E
And
again,
specifically
liz
who,
if
you're
vice
chair,
you
have
obviously
indicated
some
interest
in
that
side
of
the
committee
work
yeah
in
my
own
case,
I'm
going
to
be
traveling
a
lot
this
year
and
but
and
I'll
by
next
year.
I'll
certainly
volunteer
for
something
more
I'm
I
am
you
know
not
with
I've,
not
even
been
on
the
committee
a
year,
so
I
think
it
should
be.
I
think
liz
has
done
it
for
a
while
right,
she's,
certainly
qualified
to
do
it
perfect.
G
G
So
given
there
are
four
members
absent
today
to
dean's
point
is:
is
there
an
opportunity
for
us
to
postpone
the
appointment
of
the
chair
until
the
next
meeting
in
that
would
be
in
april
and
then
hopefully
open
up
that
conversation
with
the
the
members
that
are
not
here
today?
Is
that
a
process
that
could
be
followed
and
then
second
to
that?
How
would
that?
How
would
that
be
managed
today
for
this
meeting
in
terms
of
not
having
a
chair
in
place.
B
So
if
no
one
currently
feels
that
they
are
able
to
do
to
be
the
chair,
that
is
something
we
could
do.
We
could
postpone
the
election
of
chair
until
the
the
meeting
in
may.
It
would
mean
for
today
because
brienne
was
nominated,
as
vice
chair
that
she
would
chair
this
morning's
meeting.
I
can
help
I
can
help
you
walk
through
it
we'll
go
through
the
agenda
together,
but
that
would
be
the
process
for
today.
B
D
B
F
F
F
B
B
F
G
Thank
you
brienne
and
welcome
to
the
earth's
advisory
committee,
and
it's
really
really
wonderful
to
have
you
here
on
behalf
of
the
tet
center
for
creativity
and
learning
as
the
new
director,
and
I
also
want
to
welcome
felix
lee
on
this
call.
Felix
is
the
new
executive
director
of
the
kingston
arts
council.
G
G
G
So
again,
this
is
all
in
the
report
and-
and
you
know
many
of
you
are
returning
members
of
the
arts
advisory
committee.
So
this
will
be
familiar
to
you
and
I
know
brienne
and
felix
specifically
have
had
involvement
with
the
arts
advisory,
but
just
to
recap
the
mandate
of
this
incredibly
important
committee.
G
G
So
this
is
a
bit
of
a
snapshot
of
the
purpose
of
the
arts
advisory
committee
in
terms
of
how
it
supports
some
of
which
I've
sort
of
addressed
already,
but
the
first
one
being
is
really
the
ensuring
ensuring
the
continuing
implementation
of
the
recommendations
contained
in
the
kingston
culture
plan.
So
this
culture
plan
was
established
back
in
2010.
G
It
has
since
expired,
so
it
was
a
10-year
culture
plan
for
kingston.
It's
first
and
work
is
going
to
be
underway
in
the
coming
years
to
renew
the
culture
plan
for
kingston
likely
on
a
more
on
a
shorter
term
basis.
So
looking
at
a
five-year
culture
plan
to
really
guide
the
direction
of
the
arts
and
culture
services
department
at
the
city
of
kingston,
the
arts
advisory
committee
also
provides
input
into
the
development
of
arts
policies
and
strategies
that
I've
mentioned.
G
G
The
role
is
also
to
make
staff
and
council
aware
of
changing
conditions
and
opportunities
within
the
arts.
This
is,
you
know,
done
through
the
you
know,
the
expertise
of
everyone
around
this
table.
Another
way
in
which
this
is
possible
is
through
delegations.
So
we
are.
The
committee
is
able
to
invite
members
of
the
public
to
provide
delegations
to
this
committee,
and
that
is
an
avenue
where
changing
conditions,
situations
and
issues
in
the
community
can
be
brought
forward
to
the
arts
advisory.
G
Another
purpose
is
to
advise
staff
and
council
as
to
the
impact
of
broader
policies,
programs
and
regulations
on
the
kingston
arts
sector.
This
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
front
and
center
in
2022,
based
on
some
strategic
work
that
our
department
is
pursuing,
specifically
in
relation
to
the
music
sector
here
in
kingston
and
then
finally
maintain
linkages
with
heritage
kingston
and
its
working
groups
to
ensure
coordination
of
initiatives
related
to
the
implementation
of
the
kingston
culture
plan
for
some
context
for
the
committee.
G
Most
of
you
are
probably
aware
of
this,
but
cultural
services
is
the
department
that
once
existed,
that
included
arts
and
heritage,
and
that
was
the
department
that
created
the
kingston
culture
plan.
We
recently
have
split
and
arts
has
become
its
own
department.
Now
called
arts
and
culture,
services
and
heritage
services
is
now
its
own
department,
and
so
this,
this
linkage
and
sort
of
collaboration
with
the
heritage
side
of
culture
is
going
to
continue
to
be
important
for
this
committee
to
consider
next
slide.
Please.
G
G
This
is
very
broad
in
terms
of
the
support,
and
certainly
there
will
be
opportunity
to
have
sort
of
focus
around
this
specific
product
based
on
work
of
our
department
and
the
work
of
the
arts
advisory
committee.
But
it
is
a
you
know,
a
continual
concern
for
us
to
be
ensuring
that
we
are
staying
on
top
of
opportunities
and
ways
to
support
the
community.
G
Additional
strategic
work
on
the
agenda
for
this
year
is
supporting
the
implementation
of
the
creative
industry
strategy
and
continuing
to
help
build
broader
awareness
of
the
arts
and
cultural
sectors
and
how
they
contribute
to
cultural
vitality.
So
again,
this
creative
industry
strategy
was
approved
last
year.
G
This
is
really
around
the
city
of
kingston
arts
fund
and
there
are
two
main
work
priorities
for
2022
for
this
committee,
the
first
being
the
support
for
the
annual
review
and
endorsement
of
the
ccaf
plan
for
admin
that
provides
operational
and
project
support
to
local
artists.
Local
organizations
collectives
this
year,
individual
artists,
this
program,
as
everybody
in
this
room
knows-
is
administered
by
the
kac,
the
kingston
arts
council
and
is
a
process
that
this
committee
has
supported
every
year
since
it
was
first
established.
G
G
This
is
a
been
an
ongoing
agenda.
Item
for
us
to.
You
know,
really
look
at
the
city
of
kingston
arts
fund
program,
since
it
was
first
established
in
2007
and
look
at
the
changing
needs
of
the
arts
community
and
ensure
that
the
fund
itself
supports
those
evolving
needs,
and
so
our
our
department
is
working
with
felix
and
his
team
at
the
arts
council
around
getting
an
rfp
out
to
hire
a
consultant
to
help
us
lead
this
process.
But
the
arts
advisory
committee
will
be
an
essential
player
and
stakeholder
in
this
process.
G
G
G
The
third
is
supporting
the
mayor's
arts
awards
program
that
every
year
celebrates
and
celebrates
high
artistic
achievement
in
the
arts.
This
will
also
include
participation
in
a
nominations
working
group
to
select
five
recipients
for
the
2022
awards
and
then
finally,
the
poet
laureate
program.
So
this
is
something
that
is
appointed
a
position
appointed
every
four
years,
and
this
is
the
year
in
which
we
are
to
select
a
new
poet
laureate
for
the
city
of
kingston
to
be
appointed
in
early
2023,
and
so
a
working
group
will
be
formed.
G
G
So
finally,
this
is
the
last
slide,
so
just
based
on
this,
the
priority
projects
that
we've
outlined
here
today.
The
next
step
would
be
for
the
arts
advisory
committee
to
confirm
their
work
plan
in
consultation
with
with
the
arts
and
culture
services
department.
And
then
this
is
just
a
reminder
about
that.
Advisory
committees
are
required
to
submit
an
annual
report
to
council
on
or
before
may
31st
of
each
year.
That
really
highlights
the
work
that
has
been
completed
over
the
course
of
the
year.
F
That's
great,
thank
you
danica,
so
the
next
order
of
business
is
the
arts
advisory
committee
priority
setting
2022
the
report
of
the
commissioner,
business
environment
and
projects
is
attached.
So
the
recommendation
for
this
was
that
the
report
was
for
information
only
were
there
any
comments
or
any
action
items
that
needed
to
happen
with
that
point.
F
B
B
G
G
We
have
community
members
that
have
confirmed
interest
and
I'm
also
going
to
put
forward
to
the
arts
advisory
committee
today
for
approval.
So
we
can
begin
work
following
this
meeting
with
the
local
music
working
group.
So
this
program
supports
the
ygk
music
project
which
I
spoke
about.
This
is
an
annual
call
to
the
community
to
feature
musicians
on
city
playlists
that
live
on
the
city
website,
the
visit
kingston
website
and
the
city
of
kingston
call
waiting
system.
G
G
Maybe
so
maybe
what
I'll
do.
First
is
I'll
put
forward
the
community
member
names
for
approval
from
the
committee,
and
then
I
would
be
looking
for
three
volunteers
to
to
participate
in
the
approach
the
project
this
year.
Some
on
this
call
someone's
part.
Some
members
have
already
participated
in
this
and
can
also
speak
to
the
process
in
turn,
if
there's
any
questions
from
the
committee
members
about
about
that
work,
so
from
a
community
perspective,
we
have
four
people
who
have
committed
to
participating
in
this.
G
The
first
being
ricky
brandt,
ricky
brandt,
is
a
local
musician
here
in
kingston.
He
was
recently
the
recipient
of
a
mayor's
arts
awards
program
and
has
been
featured
on
the
ygk
music
playlist
since
it
for
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
it's
great
to
have
him
participating
gary
raspberry
is
also
available
to
be
a
part
of
this
working
group.
Kerry
is
also
a
musician
himself.
G
A
long-standing
arts,
educator
and
teacher
here
in
kingston
and
has
also
been
featured
in
the
past
on
the
ytpmusic
playlist
megan
below,
is
also
agreed
to
sit
forward
to
participate
in
this
working
group.
Megan
is
herself.
A
musician
has
also
recently
been
working
with
us
through
the
residency
program
at
the
grand
theater,
specifically
with
annie
and
the
gertrudes
for
their
their
local
arts
residency
program,
and
then
jay
cliffon
is
the
final
member
of
the
committee.
G
Jay
himself
is
also
a
musician
in
kingston,
has
participated
and
been
selected
for
the
ygk
music
list
and
has
agreed
to
sit
on
this
side
of
the
table
for
the
program
this
year.
So
a
really
dynamic,
diverse
group
of
musicians
who
all
have
experience
with
ygt
music,
who
have
had
the
support
in
the
past
and
this
year,
are
sort
of
shifting
to
help
select
new
musicians
to
be
featured.
G
E
G
At
this
time
this
is
a
list
we're
looking
at
the
committee.
This
committee,
you
know,
was,
was
able
to
bring
forward
names
for
approval
today.
There
are
no
recommendations
with
this.
At
this
point,
my
request
would
be
to
approve
the
community
community
members
at
this
point.
Just
so,
we
can
stay
on
the
timelines
for
this
project
going
forward.
E
G
Based
on
our
knowledge
of
the
program
and
past
working
experience
with
them
and
the
criteria
for
the
members
of
the
working
group,
which
is
really
to
have
knowledge
about
the
music
about
music
in
in
some
form-
and
so
this
has
been
done
through
our
research.
The
arts
advisory
committee
is
able
to
approve
or
or
not,
approve
a
member
for
this
committee,
but
that
is
how
these
members
have
been
identified
for
this
year.
E
E
I
I'm
just
worried
a
little
bit
about
you
know
trying
to
get
these
full
committees
staffed
with
not
a
full
slate
of
candidates.
I
guess
which
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
I
think,
problematic.
If
we
try
and
do
too
much
today,
I'm
not
about
voting
on
the
the
people
that
you've
already
vetted
but
trying
to
you
know
we
don't
know
what
the
three
or
four
members
who
are
not
here
are
willing
to
do
and
want
to
do,
and
that's
going
to
cause
us
some
problems.
E
A
G
Yeah,
so
there
are
four
committees,
so
four
working
groups
that
are
that
need
to
be
formed
this
year-
and
I
should
have
mentioned
that
in
my
presentation
too,
about
timelines,
so
the
local
music
working
group
is
the
most
pressing
and
again
absolutely
tim.
I
hear
your
point
in
terms
of
their
members
on
here
today.
It
is
the
more
time
sensitive
one
in
this
moment,
which
is
if
we
do
not
have
committee
members
confirmed
after
today's
meeting.
G
So
those
are
two
more
that
are
coming
up
sort
of
over
the
course
of
early
summer
and
then
the
the
fourth
one
is
the
the
art
public
places
working
group,
which
is
already
confirmed
at
this
point.
There
are
no
new
members
required
for
this
working
group,
so
there's
really
three
that
we
need
to
fill
this
year
with
members.
So.
E
Let
me
just
say
that
you
know
I
was
perfectly
prepared
to
already
re-up
for
the
arts,
the
mayor's
arts
awards,
and
I
am
interested
in
this
current
group,
but
I
don't
think
that's
my
expertise,
particularly
and
if
I
had
to
join,
because
we
wouldn't
get
this
committee
going
at
all
unless
some
people
joined
today
I
would
join
it,
but
it
feels
like
there
may
be
some
people
missing.
Who
might
be
more
aware
that
kingston
music
see
I'd,
certainly
like
to
listen
to
music
and
could
listen
to
the
the
submissions.
E
A
Interested
in
doing
it,
I'm
not
sure
that
I
have
time
in
that
time
frame
to
share
it,
but
I'm
certainly
more
than
happy
to
be
on
the
committee.
I've
done
it
a
couple
of
years.
So
if
you
want
me
to
to
step
aside
and
have
someone
else,
do
it
that's
fine
as
well,
but
I'll
throw
my
my
name
in
the
hat,
it's
very
fun.
Actually,
it's.
A
We
listen
to
about
you
know
50
to
60.
It's
like
you
kind
of
get
blown
away
by
the
talent,
that's
here
in
kingston,
every
sort
of
different
musical
quality
and
there's
such
sincerity
in
it
as
well
again,
it
means
you're
sitting
down
for
a
day
listening
to
a
ton
of
new
music,
but
it's
it's
quite
rewarding.
I
found
it
quite
rewarding.
H
H
H
H
D
I
appreciate
that
jim
I
I
do
I
like
everything.
I
hear
I'm
very
new
to
this
community
too,
and
I
don't
really
know
anybody
here,
but
I
I
I'm
probably
the
least
artistic
person,
though
I
I
love
it
as
much
as
anyone.
So
I
understand
I
just
don't
know
how
I
could
I'd
love
to
be
on
the
on
choosing
the
music,
but
I
I
don't
know
if
I
would
be
any
good
at
all.
D
I
can't
even
whistle
so,
but
I
I
again
I
I'm
here
because
I
do
I
do
love
what
you
guys
are
doing
and
I'm
very
impressed
with
everybody
here
so
jim.
I
don't
know
if
you're
saying
that,
why
do
we
need
a
counselor
on
that
committee?
I
think
that
could
kind
of
could
be
done
without
a
counselor.
Could
it
not,
madam
clerk?
Why
do
we
is
that
an
is
that
a
bylaw.
G
I
can
sort
of
sorry
just
to
jump
in
counselors
it's
in
the
terms
of
reference
for
this
program
that
was
established
and
approved
by
council,
so
it
is
embedded
into
the
terms
of
reference,
and
it
really
is,
you
know,
there's
a
broad
committee.
That
is
a
part
of
this,
and
many
people
bring
their
own
expertise,
of
course,
and
I
think
being
a
fan
of
music
and
a
listener
of
music
is
is
also
a
helpful
aspect
of
being
a
part
of
this
working
group.
G
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
involved
in
this,
and
it's
really
just
about
trying
to
sort
of
sift
through
the
submissions
which
again
is
a
wonderful
experience,
but
a
challenge
can
be
a
challenging
experience.
So
I
would
just
say,
if
there's
interest
from
you
in
participating
this
year,
to
also
gain
the
exposure
just
to
learn
more
about
the
the
breadth
of
talent
here
in
the
music
committee.
I
think
that
we
would
be
super
happy
to
have
you
a
part
of
that
working
group.
D
H
That
that's
a
great
endorsement,
so
am
I
if
I
could
just
suggest
this
is
having
a
counselor
on.
It
is
almost
the
same
principle
as
how
we're
supposed
to
choose
ministers,
provincially
and
and
federally.
The
whole
idea
is
that
we're
we
may
be
amateurs,
but
we're
keen
amateurs
and
there's
lots
of
expertise
already
on
the
committee
through
the
public
engagement.
D
C
Yeah
I'll
do
I'll
do
the
music
one
for
sure
and
counselor
osterhoff.
It
would
be
great
to
have
you.
It's
currently
all
musicians,
people
who
play
music
and
it
would
be
really
nice
to
have
someone
with
a
perspective
of
more
of
a
listener
that
so
that
would
be
wonderful
to
have
you
be
part
of
it.
So
I
can
do
the
music
one
for
sure,
and
I
could
also
probably
do
either
the
poet
laureate
or
the
mayor's
arts
awards.
I
don't
really
care
which
one
to
be
honest,.
F
That's
great
so
danica,
that's
the
three
volunteers
then
for
the
working
group,
so
we're
good
for
that
slate.
Awesome.
Thank
you
everybody.
So
I
believe
we
need
a
motion
to
pass
that.
So
I
think,
can
we
do
it
all
in
one
to
accept
the
four
community
members
and
the
three
arts
advisory
committee
members.
B
F
G
Thanks
brianne,
so
I
submitted
minutes
for
the
committee
for
based
on
the
last
art
public
basis,
working
group
and
again,
this
working
group
supports
the
implementation
of
the
city's
public
art
master
plan.
So
really
just
here
for
the
committee's
review,
happy
to
ask
answer
any
questions
about
the
various
projects
and
opportunities
that
have
been
included
in
here.
But
this
is
just
for
the
committee's
review
and
to
sort
of
track.
The
progress
of
this
working
group.
H
G
I
think,
if
I'm
understanding
your
question,
counselor
neil,
it's
it's
a
standing
committee,
standing
right
through
the
the
public
art
policy.
We
did
update
the
terms
of
reference
to
this
working
group
back
in
2020.
I
believe
that
was
also
approved
to
really
reflect
the
evolving
nature
of
the
public
art
program
in
kingston.
So
we
have
committee
members
that
are
been
approved
for
this
this
working
group,
but
it
is
a
standing
committee
that
basically
supports
the
work
of
the
arts
and
culture
services
department
to
implement
the
public
art
program.
G
We
do
work
with
the
working
group
to
engage
around
again
similar
to
the
arts,
advisory
issues
and
opportunities
facing
the
community
in
relation
to
public
art.
Something
we
are
pursuing
right
now
and
exploring
that
flag
is,
is
how
to
enhance
flipkart
on
private
property
and
how
city
internal
processes
can
be
explored
and
expanded
to
better
suit
that,
as
we
are
seeing
a
growing
desire
and
need
for
a
very
streamlined
process
for
that
type
of
public
art
on
private
property.
C
H
G
I
will
share
as
well,
which
is
in
the
minutes
from
the
our
public
places.
Working
group
meeting
is
that
we
are
working
on
our
first
section.
37
of
the
planning
act
community
benefit
public
art
project,
so
different
from
what
council
o'neil
is
referring
to
in
terms
of
a
percent
a
one
percent
of
a
development
budget
being
allocated
for
public
art.
G
This
is
a
part
of
the
planning
act
that
allows
for
increases
to
higher
density
of
a
new
development
in
exchange
for
a
community
benefit,
and
this
project
is
at
168
division
street,
and
so
it's
it's
built
and
finishing
up.
But
essentially
what
happened
was
that
they
received
a
community
benefit
from
the
city
to
allow
for
an
increase
in
in
height
or
density
to
their
build.
G
H
F
B
E
This
isn't
business
exactly,
but
I
just
want
to
point
out
to
this
group.
Most
of
I'm
sure
all
of
you
probably
know
that
the
film
festival's
on
now
and
that's
why
we're
missing
one
member.
In
fact,
I
think,
and
there's
opening
tonight
at
theater,
kingston
too
a
world
premiere
of
a
play
written
by
a
former
queen
student
called
it's
the
show
it's
called
mercy,
and
I
understand
the
lighting
designer.
D
E
C
F
B
F
B
Mountain
vice
chair,
if
I
can
just
interrupt
for
a
second,
I
did
just
want
to
notify
the
committee
as
well
that
just
due
to
scheduling
purposes
and
things
like
that
that
we
will
be
returning
the
committee
meetings
to
9
30
as
opposed
to
the
11
o'clock
time,
this
was
decided
after
the
agenda
was
sent
out.
So
I
just
want
to
notify
the
committee
that
we
will
be
returning
to
that
time
and
I
will
send
out
an
email
as
well
I'm
closer
to
the
next
meeting.
Just
as
a
reminder.
E
May
I
just
suggest
in
your
reminders,
or
what
you
send
out,
is
if
people
can't
come
to
the
meeting,
as
we
found
this
case,
make
them
aware
that
we
are,
I
think,
we're
going
to
be
staffing
another
committee
at
that
point,
probably
the
mayor's
arts
advisory
one
and
that
if
they
were
interested
in
becoming
part
of
that
committee,
they
should
make
us
aware
or
make
you
aware.
So
we
we
can
have
them
up
for
grabs,
even
if
they're,
not
specifically
here,
and
will
that
next
committee
also
be.
E
B
Yes,
so
so
to
you
my
advice
here,
we
I
can,
when
I
send
out
an
email
to
the
committee
prior
to
the
next
meeting,
I
can
send
it
out
beforehand
and
notify
the
other
members
that
we
will
need
to
do
election
of
of
chair
and
to
see
if
I
can
get
volunteers
for
that
as
well.
And
then,
if
there
are
working
group
appointments
on
the
next
agenda,
if
someone's
unable
to
attend-
and
they
wish
to
put
their
name
forward,
they
can
let
me
know-
and
I
will
let
let
danica
know.
D
F
B
B
F
Thank
you
so
much.
I
really
appreciate
everyone
bearing
with
me,
because
this
is
new
to
me,
but
I'm
very
excited
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
so
excited
to
be
involved
in
the
capacity
with
the
tet
center
as
well.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
julia
for
all
of
your
additional
assistance
today.
