Agenda
- Our OAC grant application (for the quarterly “What’s On Guide”) was denied: discuss!
- Collaborative Approach To Sustainability In The Arts [CASA]: Background and update.
Discussed
- Based on feedback from the Theatre Officer, the content and structure of the application is fine. Jury members expressed concern over the decision to create a “hardcopy” guide.
- We discussed how to better position the application (e.g. The Ottawa market has very little “hardcopy” arts coverage and other organizations, like the Bytowne and the Mayfair, make excellent use of hardcopy guides).
- We should solicit statement of financial support (E.g., yes, we will advertise!).
- Geoff shared some background on CASA, an ad hoc group, led by Audrey Churgin of MASC, which is looking at ways to strengthen the profile and brand of cultural groups in the Ottawa area.
- Geoff was asked to give a presentation on The Ottawa Theatre Network. Sterling was asked to give a presentation on social media and Ottawa arts.
Action Items
- Geoff will revise grant application and submit to City of Ottawa (mid-January) and resubmit to OAC (Feb. 1st)
- Lisa will investigate sending the “what’s on” via our email list.
- Nancy will provide summary notes of some municipal documents.
