Gallery Without Walls
Works of art are hanging at City Hall and the Baptist Medical Center -Beaches. Alice is trying to locate
other places to hang artwork. Alice would like to get some artwork hung in Tallahassee. Mayor Suzanne
Shaughnessy mentioned possibly using the Commission Chambers as another location to hang artwork.
Lisa Bodge volunteered to find out where the First Night second year loom is located to possibly hang it
• as a set with the first year loom. Since the third year loom is made of palm fronds and is biodegradable,
Karen Sadler suggested having the this loom photographed. Karen Sadler will ask Linda Broadfoot if she
would be interested in photographing the third year loom.
Space for Children's Activities
Timmy Johnson stated that Adele Grage is available on Thursday or Friday mornings for classes for
children. Nancy Bodge would like to organize on-going monthly events for children such as puppetry,
concerts, folk singers or drummers. The Board requested that Susan Dunham determine if Adele Grage is
available any day after 3:30 p.m.
Classes at Atlantic Beach Elementary
Karen Sadler has scheduled two classes at Atlantic Beach Elementary with the Watercolor Society.
Scottie Thornton will be leading the classes which are scheduled for November 9 and December 7. The
children's work will be exhibited in the art room. Janelle Wagoner mentioned that the Watercolor
Society usually exhibits children's artwork at their watercolor show.
First Night
Alice Gartland would like to do an article in the paper about First Night. Alice will get the information
she needs from First Night Committee members.
Grants
Alice Gartland was advised by the Cultural Council that they would not be giving First Night an arts
license plate grant because First Night is not a 5013c organization. The Cultural Council directed Alice to
the Neighborhood Grants program who informed Alice that she could apply for a grant next year. Mayor
Suzanne Shaughnessy suggested that Alice write a letter to her outlining the details of the grant
• application and denial. The Mayor will then send a letter to Mayor Delaney with Alice's letter as an
attachment.

Thank You to Mayor Shaughnessy
Alice Gartland thanked Mayor Suzanne Shaughnessy for all she has done for the Cultural Arts Board.
The Board members presented the following letter to the Mayor:
"Dear Mayor Shaughnessy:
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for the support, encouragement and time you gave to us as members of
the Cultural Arts Board of the City of Atlantic Beach. You attended our monthly meetings, made
suggestions, appointed outstanding individuals to the Board when we had vacancies and encouraged new
ideas presented by Board members. This gave us as citizens a feeling of community and belonging. Your
interest and participation in the activities of the Cultural Arts Board will be missed. We hope you will
continue to be interested in the activities of our Board and when you have time, will attend our meetings.
Without your support, First Night could not be the success it is. Our artwork would not be hanging in
public places, kids' art classes would not have prospered and the concert in the park would not be an
annual event."
• Mayor Suzanne Shaughnessy thanked the Board members for the card and for all their hard work. She
also stated that it has been a wonderful experience for her.
Alice Gartland presented a gift to the Mayor with the following card:
"Because of your support of the arts in Atlantic Beach, a child learned to make this piece of pottery in one
of the classes you made possible in our community. We hope you will enjoy it and that it will be one
small reminder of your many accomplishments. Sincerely, Atlantic Beach Cultural Arts Board"
