B. Update on Arts & Culture Commission Work Session with City Council
Commissioner Rubin stated that the Council clearly wants to hear from the Commission. The
meeting of focused on a new art center; Commission Rubin stated that he felt that momentum
was being lost. The Council encouraged the ACC to build relationships across the city and
across commissions to gauge interest in and need for a new art center. Commissioner
Chandler suggested that there is a need to build coalitions as other organizations on need of
space might be part of a shared physical space concept. Chandler also stated that such
coalitions might produce a “friends” of the art center organization. Chandler also presented
the Council questions about using a hybrid model, included shared City and non-profit support
for a capital campaign and operations.
C. Update on Arts & Culture Commission 2019 Work Plan
Commissioner Chandler expressed concern over revisions to the plan, particularly concerning
changes to cross-commission items. Chandler stated that a more logical collaboration would
be for actual events rather than on the development of a three-year comprehensive plan for
Public Art. An example would be the current collaboration with the Human Rights and
Relations Commission on the Remembrance Day event, for which a cross-commission
committee is being established. As point of information was requested about the Race and
Equity initiatives that had been added. Liaison Tarnowski noted that the City Council has
initiatives in its work plan and wants Commission and Committees to engage comprehensively
in race and equity efforts across the City of Edina. After discussion, no action was taken.
Chandler will summarize possible revisions in an email for Liaison Tarnowski to distribute to
Commission members. This will enable the Commission to inform the Council how it will
implement its work plan.
D. Update on Meeting with the Human Rights and Relations Commission
Commissioner Klein attended the HRRC meeting. Interest was expressed in collaborating on
the Edina Day of Remembrance event. The International Day of Remembrance is Thursday,
May 2, 2019. A cross-Commission committee is being formed; Klein has applied to serve as a
member.
Commissioners agreed that the demographic for this event was largely older individuals and
discussed ways to involve all demographics, including students: add a performing group, a
