Committee reports pop-up events, library partnerships and new volunteers; Youth Center classes to resume next year
Summary
Members recapped recent pop-up activities (Art Walk origami, library summer-reading crafts, bridal‑fest bracelets), volunteer interest and upcoming downtown events. The Youth Center art program is complete for the season; artists are paid $150 plus supplies for one-hour classes funded by Art Walk auction proceeds.
Members recounted recent pop-up arts activity, volunteer leads and plans for the summer event calendar. Committee volunteers staffed origami activities at Art Walk, led a summer-reading program craft for the library and ran a bracelet-making station at a bridal-fest. One volunteer expressed interest in beginning as a helper and later joining the committee.
The group discussed opportunities to host pop-ups during Thursday band nights in July and August and to coordinate with Downtown Middleton Business Association events such as the shop-and-stroll and spooky stroll. Members proposed temporarily closing Hubbard Avenue to host a larger pop-up with tables, seating and possibly the bookmobile.
The Youth Center art project finished for the year; the committee will begin booking artists for next year. Artists hired by the committee receive $150 plus supplies for an approximately one-hour class; funding comes from proceeds of the Art Walk auction (exact auction total was not specified at the meeting).
No formal actions were taken; members agreed to continue scheduling pop-ups and to share event details with staff for website and social-media posting.
