Meridian Arts Commission readies Ornament Drop & Seek for Dec. 5–6; ornament-making set Nov. 22
Summary
The commission outlined plans for a community Ornament Drop & Seek on Dec. 5–6, reported outreach to local schools and clubs, and scheduled a city-hall ornament-making session on Nov. 22. Staff said the city’s events channels will publicize the activities.
The Meridian Arts Commission on an administrative meeting reviewed plans for its Ornament Drop & Seek event, scheduled for Dec. 5–6, and confirmed local outreach and publicity plans.
The chair described the Ornament Drop & Seek as “kind of like the art drop that we do during Art Week,” encouraging residents to make ornaments and leave them downtown for others to find. Commissioners reported outreach to Meridian Elementary, the Boys & Girls Club and Mountain View High School to involve students, and said gallery and parks staff have offered workspaces and supplies for participating groups.
Cassandra, a city staff member, said the event is listed on the city events calendar and in Parks & Rec communications; when asked how many people that distribution reaches she said, “It’s, at least 20,000 people.” The commission also planned an ornament-making session for commissioners and Parks & Rec staff on Friday, Nov. 22 at 3:30 p.m. at the pool venue used last year; staff invited commissioners to bring guests and said supplies will be provided.
Separately, the commission confirmed a children’s Winterland festival on Saturday, Dec. 14, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., at Home Court, and asked commissioners to help with setup around 9 a.m.
Next steps: staff will continue outreach with schools and youth groups, finalize printing for event flyers and the city will promote the events on its online calendar and social channels.
