Betty Paugh seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. III. DIRECTOR'S REPORT See attached. Diana indicated the need to set up a committee for the juried art show.

Possible volunteers for the committee are: Pat Greer, Peter Spokes, Mollie Paulson, Kathleen Currie, Betty Hemstad, Art Dickey. IV. BUILDING PROGRAM UPDATE Mr. Van Valkenburg indicated the building committee is trying to determine what the cost if and how to raise money and dedicate funds from the Park Department. The plan received a favorable response at the joint Park Board/Council meeting in December. It is proposed to add a sculpture and painting studio/multi-purpose room. It would be approximately 18' by 24' and would have an outdoor deck on top of it. The sculpture studio would have its own sink. This makes the total cost approximately $150-160,000. The whole Art Center will be handicap accessible; there will be no stairs or ramps. Diana asked the board to express any comments after they have reviewed this phase of the plans. V. CELEBRATE THE ARTS Sandra Clark reported Celebrate the Arts will be held at Braemar Clubhouse on March 11. There will be 15 tables expanding into the grill area. This year's theme is Carrousel. Final approval is needed on the invitations, but the centerpieces are finished. The silent auction items will be set up around the beverage area. There will be valet parking as last year, but the caterer will be different. Ticket prices are $50, $75, and $100. There is the possibility of listing donors on the program. - 1 - VI. EDINBOROUGH REPORT Pat Greer reported Marion Alsted's watercolor show is going on now. There was a good crowd at the opening. She reminded the board that the public is welcome for lunch at the senior highrise from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm. The shuttle bus between Edinborough openings and Art Center openings has been discontinued due to lack of use. VII. OTHER Sharon Hale reported she will propose to the Edina Foundation that the Art Center chair 1989 Edinamite and receive 100 percent of the proceeds for our building fund, Mr. Van Valkenburg followed up on establishing a "Friends of the Art Center" as a vehicle for fund raising. He said we could use the Edina Foundation as a "bank account" for donations to the building fund.
