VISUAL ART GUIDELINES FOR CONFERENCE CENTER - REQUEST APPROVAL.
As the Town has no budget to purchase art for the Estes Park Conference
Center, staff requested Lynda Vogel, Executive Director/Cultural Arts
Council of Estes Park (C.A.C.E.P.), to investigate whether art exhibits
could be provided "on loan." Such a program is feasible, and a Visual
Arts Panel, consisting of Bob McFarland/Art Center, Hugh Beckham/Fine
Arts Guild, Jenny Kosenka/Galleries of Estes Park Association, Corky
Hays/Artists in Residence/RMNP, Bob Joseph/Town Staff, and Lynda
Vogel/Cultural Arts Council has been formed. The special exhibit will
be known as "Expression of the Rockies" and exhibit finalists will be
chosen by the aforestated panel. Director Vogel reviewed the proposed
guidelines. All artists currently residing in Estes Park, Allenspark,
Drake, Pinewood Springs and the Glen Haven area are eligible. The media
accepted will be drawings, paintings, fiber, sculpture, photography,
pottery, printmaking, glass, handmade paper and metals.
Discussion concerning security/insurance liability followed. The
Committee recommends approval of the guidelines as presented, directing
staff to verify with Town Attorney White, potential exposure of "loss
through theft."
1991 ADVERTISING PROGRAM - REPORT.
The Committee reviewed current statistics and year-to-date comparisons
as of June 30, 1991: increase of 38.5% in inquiries, cost/inquiry of
$2.90 as compared to $3.40; and an increase of 44% in incoming 800
calls. The National Geographic Traveler included an excellent article
for the area, and the Summer/Rodeo insert was produced and placed in
front-range newspapers.
Bill Hockins/Ye Old Tin Shop questioned how advertising effectiveness
was measured, and Chairman Barker encouraged Mr. Hockins to meet with
Advertising Manager Marsh.
Conference Center - The first Conference Center Newsletter has been
produced and mailed to over 800 meeting planners in the Rocky Mountain
Region. The Committee reviewed the invitation being used for the grand
opening scheduled August 24th; they are being personally signed by the
Mayor (3,800±).
