APPROVAL OF MINUTES;
The Minutes of the Meeting of Dune 9, 1988, were approved
as presented.
Arts Organization Report - Patrons of the Arts Foundation
Bobbie Hoder of the Patrons of the Arts Foundation gave a
report on the work done by the Foundation. She thanked
the Commission for continued support through the funding
of grants and added it was important to have the support
from people who appreciate what you are doing.
Ms. Hoder explained that the Patrons of the Arts
Foundation has a variety of musical programs,
instrumental and vocal.
Last Year the Foundation became the parent organization
of the Carlsbad Youth Theater and Ms. Hoder stated they
sponsor workshops for children, as they feel it is
important to recognize young people while they are
developing art.
Temporary Sculpture Exhibition - for approval
Chairman Bear announced the three proposals for
discussion were from the following: Louise Kirtland,
David Lewinson and The Aesthetics Collection (a joint
venture). He asked the Commission to make a final
selection after the discussion.
Arts Commission selected The Aesthetics Collection for the
temporary sculpture exhibit.
The Commissioners all commented this was a difficult
decision to make and although they were completely
satisfied with David Lewinson's exhibit last year, they
were interested in trying someone new.
Commission discussion determined that they would like to
pursue the idea of a poster for the temporary sculpture
exhibition.

Commissioner Straub stated there is a conflict existing
in public art today, and she felt for education, they
should give both sides and include this type of
information in the exhibition brochure.

Report on Meeting
Connie Beardsley called attention to the items listed
above, all of which were contained in her report included
in the packet.
Following discussion on the Stagecoach maquettes, the
Commission felt one Member should attend the next
Council meeting to announce that the maquettes for
Stagecoach Park are on display at the Branch Library.
Commissioner Roston will attend the meeting to represent
the Commission.
Ms. Beardsley announced, in 1988/89, they have scheduled
three artists in residence. She said it is very
difficult to get a date at the Cultural Arts Center — as
it is booked with school functions. Commissioner Roston
stated this points up how badly Carlsbad needs an arts
facility.
NEW BUSINESS;
Public Art - for discussion/approval
Connie Beardsley recommended a piece of artwork for the
Oefferson/Marron bird observation area, and Chairman Bear
suggested the Commission have the proper staff share with
them the plans for that area before any decision is made
with regard to artwork. There was no action on this
item, with the Commission directing staff to supply a
description of potential sites for artwork.
Long Range Plan - for discussion
This Item was tabled.
