Fine Arts Board BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT FORM - PAGE 1 OF 3 BOARD OR COMMITTEE NAME: FINE ARTS BOARD (14 members) CHAIRPERSON: LAURA BRUNEY Jkts DONNA SHAW, Director Tourism and Cultural Development CITY LIAISON: NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD SINCE - January 01, 2003 HISTORY/ACTIVITIES: (5) FIVE The mission of the Fine Arts Board is to embrace and promote the work of contemporary visual and cultural artists, enhance the appreciation for the arts in the community at large, and to provide economic stimulation to under served neighborhoods. In 1974 the Fine Arts Board established the annual Miami Beach Festival of the Arts two-day outdoor event as a showcase for the visual arts in the Miami Beach community, appealing to residents, tourists, local business sponsors, patrons of the arts, and fine arts exhibitors. The Parks and Culture, then Parks and Recreation Departments housed the Fine Arts Board and assisted with production and logistics of the annual event as it roamed from Collins Avenue to Washington Avenue to 41st Street, to finally the North Shore Park. The Office of Arts, Culture, & Entertainment took the reins in 1999 and relocated the event to Ocean Terrace. The North Beach Development Corporation accepted leadership of the event in the Spring of 2002. The Department of Tourism and Cultural Development now houses the board and serves as liaison to the NBDC to nurture the Arts-in-North-Beach year round incentive. The Festival 2003 event in February, was the last year for hands-on facilitation from the Fine Arts Board. NBDC has taken fiscal responsibility for the annual event and has hired a year round event coordinator. The Fine Arts board will continue assisting NBDC with the poster and exhibiting artist recruitment, selection, and on-site jury for cash awards. The board will continue to grow the patron, the children's, and the local artist programs. In 2004 the Fine Arts Board will embark on developing a program to curate indoor exhibit spaces in City facilities. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: . The 2003 "Beach Girl" created by Michael McKever, was a very successful marketing tool. The image has appeared as a wall mural on the Byron Carlyle throughout the "arts in north beach" season, on postcards, magazine covers, t-shirts, magnets, and cable TV sots. The Ma or resented the artist with a roclamation in Janua . The festival site had an approved visual appearance at the 73rd Street entrance and at the VIP tent. The elimination of the main stage and live entertainment went unnoticed. The Patron VIP booth relocation set back from the South Arbor was an improvement. Patron purchase coupon sales were down from the previous year. The Children's Exhibit space was expanded to include the county schools. The Children's Cultural Coalition booth in the NE corner was juxtaposed between the local and county artwork and offered a more congenial family atmosphere. The Condo parking logistics went smoothly. Barricades were added to prohibit turn around. The board honored a member nominated for an award at the ABC Luncheon. FUTURE ACTIVITIES: Maintain city website TCD/Fine Arts/Festival of the Arts pages. Secure Festival poster artist 2004 (Sid Daniels). Revisit cash award levels. Partner with Cultural Arts Council Artist-in-Residency program. Provide artist/poster recruitment and selection consultation. Grow children's, local artist, and patron program. Consider new grant funding sources. Establish a program to curate indoor exhibit spaces in City facilities. Consider printing Flamingo calendar and patron-of-the-arts palm cards to promote cultural tourism. , Boards & Committees List Page 12 of29 ,~ ---~- - Lourdes SOI~~31 Registered .Architect Rafae~ Suarez-Rivas Att~rney ~ony Curvelo Journalist -' Shareef Malnik ,./' Business Owner ,/'/ Su RUdY///' De~oe[~tor TimothY.Anderson ,J.anscape Architect IJ\/y!tfporter-Brown _____------ ArchitectJ Design /"- ~t:evinson ,,-AttOrney / Renae Meltzer /// Attorney_______-- //"/ Samantha Bralter'" .-------- ,/" /~ --------- Steph,~lJ.-van Blommestein ~~ 1J:leCldore Berman /- ~,-_. /--- ~ Timothy Barry~' Art Gallery Owner Fine Arts Board Com position: Fourteen (14) members with Mayor and City Commissioners appointing two (2) members each.
