Members discuss a 'Starving Artist'‑style fair and a formal call for artists
Summary
Planning members suggested a fall art fair or 'Starving Artist' show and discussed running a reception and a call-for-artists process; organizers said larger gallery-style exhibits would be easier to stage in a later year and that submissions already appear numerous.
Committee members raised a recurring 'Starving Artist' fair as a model for the group's art programming and discussed how to run an artist call and reception. "It was the biggest thing that happened on that campus," said Jamie Deerens, recalling a school event that took over the front lawn and drew heavy participation.
Organizers said they have received many submissions and will need a selection process; one member suggested capping prices or otherwise structuring a show to encourage broad participation. The group discussed hosting a reception where the public can meet artists, and noted wine sales at receptions are part of prior event practice, although no permit or budget details were provided in the discussion.
