Committee plans personal outreach to distribute artist yard signs; directory cleanup prioritized
Summary
The Artist Outreach subcommittee outlined a plan to divide contact lists and personally deliver yard signs, noted about 73 names on the list and approximately 60 signs ordered, and said staff will reconcile opt-outs before outreach. The group also previewed a proposed artist-exchange event in early 2026.
The Artist Outreach subcommittee told the Farmers Branch Art and Culture Committee that it will use personal phone calls and emails to distribute yard signs and follow up in-person where feasible.
Subcommittee members said the immediate task is to reconcile the existing list of interested residents and sign recipients: Bridal (sic) will email Bonnie for the current list and the subcommittee will remove people who have asked not to be contacted. One committee member said the list currently contains about 73 names while another reported about 60 signs were ordered, meaning the distribution will be phased.
Members discussed outreach etiquette and the directory: some residents want to remain on the directory for certain communications but not be contacted about signs; the subcommittee will identify those cases and exclude them from sign outreach campaigns. The group also proposed an artist-exchange event in the first quarter of 2026 (targeting March) to increase artist participation and outreach capacity.
Next steps assigned at the meeting included: compiling an updated recipient list, prioritizing a delivery schedule for the 60 signs on hand, and scheduling the proposed artist-exchange event with at least three months’ lead time for promotion.
