Ojai Arts Commission to cover printed brochures with QR-code stickers, update online tour
Summary
The Ojai Arts Commission voted at a special meeting to keep existing printed public‑art brochures and cover outdated sections with a new QR‑code sticker that links to an updated online brochure; the commission authorized Vice Chair Steiner and staff to implement the change.
At a special meeting, the Ojai Arts Commission voted to keep its existing printed public‑art brochures and place a sticker containing a single, accurate QR code over outdated material, then publish and maintain an updated online brochure.
Commissioners raised several accuracy problems with the current brochure, including broken QR links and an out‑of‑service phone number. ‘‘We printed 1,000,’’ one commissioner said, noting the cost already sunk into the run and arguing against reprinting. Another commissioner said the simplest fix was a single online ‘living’ brochure and ‘‘at a keystroke, we can correct many of these errors.’’
The commission debated practical fixes — covering dead QR codes, whether to revive docent‑led tours, and where to distribute replacement rack cards or flyers. Staff read back the motion: ‘‘Keep the printed version covered with QR codes that leads to the online brochure. Authorize Vice Chair Steiner to, correct with my with staff on the online version,’’ the staff liaison said when summarizing the motion.
The motion, as read back by staff, authorized the vice chair to work with the staff liaison to create the accurate online brochure and instructed commissioners and staff to cover the brochure’s lower center section (the docent‑tour area) with the sticker. Commissioners discussed logistics for distribution, suggesting the same locations where brochures had previously been placed (hotels, kiosks and the museum).
The motion passed during the meeting; one commissioner was recorded absent. The commission also discussed producing inexpensive 4x9 rack cards or a one‑page flyer for kiosks, but agreed the immediate, least‑cost fix was to apply a sticker and maintain a single online source that could be updated as needed.
The commission directed staff and the authorized commissioners to finalize the sticker design, confirm where stickers will be applied, and post the corrected public‑art map and tour online. The online brochure will be the version referenced by the QR code and the one the commission intends to keep current.
