Executive Summary
This year’s annual Artfest event will be held on Sept. 7 and 8 in Downtown Castle Rock. After discussion, the Commission decided it would be worthwhile to attend Artfest to increase public awareness of art in the Castle Rock community and of the Public Art Commission and its website.
At its July meeting, the Commission confirmed items to bring including a handout with a QR code, Art Encounter brochures, a table, a tablecloth, a tent, chairs, a rug or turf to stand on, a signup sheet for artist contact information and a basic Public Art Commission banner to attach to the tent. The Commission also decided to order a 2-foot by 10-foot banner to connect to an easy tent and to feature the print of the Castle Rock Museum on an easel.
The Commission plans to continue this discussion at its August meeting and will specifically address the details of the banner, the quantity of brochures to order and sign up for specific volunteer times.
Lastly, Commission Member Susan Paulsen has volunteered to update the Public Art Handout. Staff Liaison Maia Aman and Susan have been in correspondence between the July and August meetings to update the old handout.
