Mr. Van Valkenburg called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m.
2. APPROVAL OF MARCH 16, 1989, MINUTES
Peter Spokes MOVED TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES OF THE MARCH 16, 1989, MEETING. Harriette
Bach seconded the motion. Diana indicated the minutes did not list the entire Juried
Show Committee. The committee consists of the following: Kathryn Bennett, Kathleen

3. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
See attached.
Kathryn Bennett is the new staff person to replace Kathy Gustafson.
Peggy Kelly will no longer be the Art Center liaison. The Council feels liaisons to
boards and commission is not necessary.
Peter Spokes MOVED TO WRITE A LETTER OF APPRECIATION TO PEGGY KELLY FOR HER YEARS OF
SERVICE AS LIAISON TO THE ART CENTER BOARD. Betty Paugh seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mr. Kojetin indicated the Council is asking boards to choose a month on the third
Monday to meet at 6 p.m. with the Council.
4. BUILDING PROGRAM UPDATE
Mr. Dickey explained the preliminary building addition drawings. The expansion is
proposed to include a new entrance to the garage classroom. The present garage
classroom would be changed into a small office, service, and sales area. The gift
shop will have a higher ceiling, and the space will be mechanically ventilated. The
present office area will be Diana's office and a conference area.
Mrs. Bach asked if there was a library area. Mrs. Paugh asked if the library area
could be included in the office/service area. Diana suggested shelving could be
added to the main room for reference materials.

The Edina Foundation is holding the proceeds of $13,000 and earning interest. The
board will draft letters of thanks to Sandra Clark and Sharon Hale.
6. EDINBOROUGH
Pat Greer reported the openings are being coordinated with the Art Center on
Thursdays. In May Steven Linder will be showing aerial photographs. In June they
will have the Minnesota Artists Association. Edinborough will celebrate its second
anniversary in June.
7. JURIED SHOW
Peter Spokes reported the judging will be held June 15 from 5 to 7 pm. So far $1975
has been promised. Last year $2845 was promised. The main concern is we won't get
as much money.

Mrs. Smith sent 140 invitations for the luncheon. To date she has received 40 no's
and 30 yes's. She passed a sign-up sheet for people to bring food or money.
