I. CALL TO ORDER
Mr. Van Valkenburg called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m.
II. CONTRIBUTION
Thanks to Sandy Clark we are $1,500 richer. She painted a commissioned
work with the suggestion to the client to make a contribution to the Art
Center instead of paying her.
III. BRYAN MOON EXHIBIT
Ms. Paulson invited everyone to come to the reception to meet the artist
and see the slide presentation at the up coming Bryan Moon Exhibit on
February 4, 1990.
IV. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Ms. Paulson reported that sales in the Main Gallery were up $600.00 from
last year. Gift shop sales were down approximately $1,200.00 from the past
year, showing a combined deficit in sales of about $600.00.
Class break, the week before Christmas, and the Art Center sign being out
of order at that time were two reasons for decline of sales.
Donations reported to date this year are $4,500.00. Ms. Paulson pointed
out that the financial sheet did not present the money donated in our
Foundation account. Mr. Van Valkenburg suggested that our balance in the
Foundation account be indicated somewhere on our financial sheet. He
indicated that the money in that account is earning substantial interest.
It was indicated that our registrations are up 50%. The reason for this is
that more classes are being offered.
Mr. Spokes brought up the point that maybe the Weekly Recap Report should
only have the last four columns since that really is the most significant
part of the report. It would make it easier to read.
Mrs. Greer handed out a memo on the sales at Edinborough Park for 1989.
This past year they took in almost $4,000.00. The Art Center gets 10% of
the net. There are certain items that are just for show and not for sale.
Show for Edina Art Center instructors is all of this month. February is
Watercolors by Mimi Delaney and March is Sumie painting by Susan Frame.
V. MEMBERSHIP
Mr. Van Valkenburg stated that there are four people on the board whose
terms will be expiring in February. They are: Elizabeth Eisenbrey, Judy
Smith, Peter R. Spokes, and Delores Dege. They all would like to be
reappointed.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 a.m.
