Title/Name/Summary
Arts Commission -Youth Art Expo
History
The Arts Commission has hosted a Youth Art Expo in conjunction with the Art Fair each year. Winning artwork from Sandburg’s Art Show and artwork chosen by District 135 art teachers are submitted and displayed at the Expo. Winners are given ribbons and cash awards and those pieces are displayed at the Art Fair in June.
This year the Commission is suggesting that instead of displaying the art work and having the short awards presentation at the Cultural Center, the winners will be presented with their awards at the June 16 Board of Trustees meeting. The artwork will not be displayed at the Cultural Center for several days since it has already been on display at Sandburg and District 135. Winning artwork can be displayed on the boards at the back of the boardroom that evening and will also be displayed at the Art Fair, July 12 & 13 at Orland Park Crossing. Winners will be notified and invited to attend the Board meeting to receive their awards.
On March 10, 2008 this item was reviewed and approved by the Community Events & Outreach Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
No impact.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve changing the Youth Art Expo to awarding the winners at the June 16, 2008 Board meeting and eliminating the display at the Cultural Center.
