Central to the meeting was the presentation by Carrie Dam, who shared her progress on the Jolie project, an art piece inspired by the Twin Rivers Golf Course. She discussed her creative process and the feedback received from the board, particularly the choice of format and subject matter. Dam selected the seventh hole of the golf course as a reference, highlighting its distinctive island feature and its significance within the composition. Her artwork aims to capture the essence of Mr. Lee’s contributions, integrating elements from his workspace and the golf course landscape to create a cohesive visual narrative. Dam described her intention to evoke a connection between Mr. Lee’s imagination and the landscapes he designed.

The board engaged with Dam, reflecting on the artistic elements and discussing potential enhancements to the composition. The shared appreciation for the project underscored the importance of honoring Mr. Lee’s work and legacy through the artwork. The board members emphasized the need for a seamless integration of design elements, supporting Dam’s vision to create a dreamlike quality within the scene.

Another topic was the coordination with city officials, including Councilman Britain, who expressed interest in the Twin Rivers project. The board planned to share updates and progress with both Britain and the city manager, who had previously offered positive feedback. The timeline for completing the project was set for April 16, with discussions about unveiling the artwork at the golf course and producing a plaque for display. The board considered creating a metal plaque replicating the design for the golf course and another version for the clubhouse.

The board also addressed logistical considerations, including scheduling conflicts and meeting times, to ensure continued progress and participation. A proposal was made to bring a replacement for a member on vacation to maintain quorum for the April 16 meeting. This led to a broader discussion about the regular meeting schedule, with members advocating for adherence to the second Wednesday of the month to maintain consistency. The board agreed to reschedule meetings if a quorum could not be achieved.

In addition to the Twin Rivers project, the board received updates on upcoming council considerations regarding art purchases and the dismantling of an exhibition, with plans for a new exhibition to begin on May 5. Invitations would be sent for a ceremonial unveiling, emphasizing the board’s dedication to promoting public art and engaging the community.

Promotional strategies were another focal point, with the board reviewing designs for postcards and posters. A decision was made to print 1,500 postcards at a cost of $260, although concerns were raised about the map’s size on the postcards. The board discussed potential poster sizes to facilitate framing and ensure longevity, considering the avoidance of dating materials to maintain relevance beyond the city’s 100th anniversary. Discussions on the feasibility of selling postcards individually or in sets were also entertained.
