Oroville Arts Commission plans Feather Fiesta showcase, museum weekend and social-media nominations
Summary
Commissioners reviewed upcoming community events — a Feather Fiesta Day arts showcase, Lunar New Year celebration, a museum weekend and a superintendent's art show — and agreed to use social media to solicit nominations for Voice for the Arts awards.
Members of the Oroville Arts Commission outlined several upcoming events and agreed on outreach steps to solicit nominations and public participation.
Commissioner Krantz, speaking for the docents, reminded the commission that Lunar New Year is scheduled for "Saturday, the 21st" at the temple from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and that the museum weekend — which includes Oroville museums and other Butte County museums — will run Saturday, Feb. 28 and Sunday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A speaker also said the superintendent's art show will open at Chico State on March 5 and remain on display for about a month.
The commission discussed the fourth annual visual and performing arts showcase planned for Feather Fiesta Day on "the ninth," and said it will revisit logo approvals and certificate formatting after complaints last year. Commissioners asked staff to prepare the existing staff reports and meet to finalize language for a public social media post, with an attached nomination form so members of the public can submit candidates for the "Voice for the Arts" recognition ahead of the next meeting.
Commissioners also noted that last year's outreach included multiple schools and neighborhood museums. The commission agreed to re-use that outreach process: a social-media post linking to a nomination form and internal circulation of submitted names before selection.
The commission did not set a final date for the nomination deadline at this meeting; it directed staff to prepare materials for the next agenda.
