New Work Fund -Updates on Artist Residency Program Members discussed learning about an artist residency program in New York within its Culture of Affairs department headed by its Chief of Staff Shirley Levy; that their program does cross agency calls to solicit agencies to participate followed by an open call out to artists and RFPs; that Ms. Levy serves as the project manager, is a dedicated staff, and is an intermediary; that Milwaukee should do a pilot program similar to New York's program; that such a program would entail work on the backend of the program; that work may have to be divided up and given to committee members due to the loss of DCD staff; and that agencies would have to match city dollars. -Opening the 2021 New Work Fund City of Milwaukee Page 1 MILWAUKEE ARTS BOARD PUBLIC Meeting Minutes March 9, 2021 ART SUBCOMMITTEE Members and staff discussed staff doing a proper final review of the New Work Fund application with the proper changes in dates; then staff opening up the application as soon as possible to the public; that the application discloses consideration of responses would occur in May, presentations be made in June, and approvals be made possibly in July; that submittals must be made two weeks prior to a subcommittee meeting in order for them to be considered at a meeting; and that there be language specifying that organizations and projects have to be within the City of Milwaukee. Member Murphy moved approval, seconded by member Klose, to open the 2021 New Work Fund application, as discussed. There was no objection. 4. Conservation Fund -TimeSlips, Inc. Application Members discussed the application having an organization outside of the city, the project occurring at a Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) site, the project being an archival one which is outside of conservatism, the project being like a time capsule rather than an original piece, that the Milwaukee Public Library typically has other allocations and are discouraged to apply, and that TimeSlips does many creative projects working with the elderly. Members wanted further clarification and follow-up on the eligibility of the organization being outside of the City, the specific library for the project, consideration under the New Work Fund, and consideration under MPL. 5. New Business 6. Old Business -Art Collection -HPC Mural Guidelines Chair Morris said that the Brady Street Area Foundation withdrew its application and that the restoration of the decorative glass pieces at the DCD Municipal building was moving forward.
