Wisconsin Arts Board readies materials, staff and breakout session for next week’s conference
Summary
Committee planned staffing and materials for the upcoming conference (Oct. 10–11 referenced as 'next week'), discussed a breakout panel on outdoor art, and assigned booth and name-tag logistics.
The External Relations Committee discussed logistics and outreach materials for an upcoming conference scheduled “the tenth through the eleventh” next week, including staffing a marketplace booth, printing one-page summaries for a roundtable, and hosting a breakout session on outdoor art.
Committee members said the Sunday roundtable will function as an informal town meeting where attendees can ask, “Hey, Arts Board, what do you do?” George (staff member) described the schedule and volunteer needs: the marketplace will include an Arts Board table and staff were asked to sign up for booth slots so committee members can meet attendees. The committee decided to provide printed copies of the generic one-pager at the roundtable and to offer 50th-anniversary pins and a Wisconsin Arts Board ribbon on official conference name tags.
Vivian Timchenko described the breakout session the Arts Board organized: three speakers addressing the intersection of outdoor recreation and the arts, including a representative from “Sculpture Eclair,” Jennifer from the Carpenter Nature Center discussing the St. Croix Art Bench Trail, and a community-development presenter, Morgan, discussing the Great Sauk State Trail. Timchenko said the session is scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m., will run 11–12 with 10–15 minutes for each speaker and a question-and-answer period.
Logistics decisions included ordering silver conference name tags for staff members who need them and finalizing booth materials. Brian and others agreed they will sign up for booth slots and bring materials; staff will prepare an online “phone business card” option for quick digital sharing.
The committee also discussed tailoring printed folders with district-specific one-pagers to hand to constituents at the marketplace, and agreed to continue offline planning for booth contents and staffing. Several committee members thanked Timchenko for pulling together speakers and outreach materials.
Planned follow-ups: print generic and district one-pagers for the roundtable, reserve booth slots and confirm staffing, order replacement silver name tags for Brian, Tyler and Mari, and prepare digital business-card links for committee members.
