The committee that reviewed the grant applications was chaired by Commissioner Kaufman and included herself and Commissioner Simon. The grants were presented to arts organizations that provide arts and cultural programming for students, seniors, and community of Newport Beach. On behalf of the CAC, Chair Arlene Greer presented the following 2021-22 Cultural Arts Grant Awards and checks to members of each organization as follows: • Backhausdance ($4,000)• Balboa Island Improvement Association ($3,000) • Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar ($5,000)• The Laguna Playhouse ($5,000)• Pacific Chorale ($5,000) • Pacific Symphony ($5,000) (Note – not in attendance)• South Coast Repertory ($3,000) IV.NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC V.PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 4 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 2 VI.CONSENT CALENDAR A.Approval of Minutes of the May 12, 2022 City Arts Commission Meeting 2.Draft of 5/12/22 Minutes Chair Greer called for revisions or amendments to the minutes but heard none.

AYES: Greer, Little, Flanagan, Simon, Kaufman, George NOES: None ABSTENTIONS: None ABSENT: McNulty B.Consent Calendar Items 3. Financial Report – Review of financial information Chair Greer invited the new Library Services Director, Melissa Hartson, to give the report. Library Services Director Hartson stated that the financials were steady and stable. She noted that there was a negative balance in the special events category since they issued refunds for the Newport Beach Art Exhibition artists. They are awaiting a check from Western States Arts Foundation (WESTAF), the company that runs Callforentry.org (CaFE), which will balance the account. Commissioner Simon asked if the income came in the last fiscal year. Library Services Director Hartson explained the Call for Entries began in December 2021 which was part of the current fiscal year. The WESTAF check was not yet reflected in the system. Chair Greer called for further questions on the Financial Report, but there were none. She stated that the CAC had $7,000 remaining in its programming budget. She asked if there were expected expenses and if the funds would cover the public event for the Sculpture Garden Phase VII opening. Library Services Director Hartson stated that some expenses for the public event were paid from the current fiscal year, such as the children’s activities, photographer, and balloons. Everything would be reflected in the July Financial Report, which she would provide at the next meeting. The current numbers were valid through the end of May. Chair Greer noted that the sound production services for the Catch a Wave concert was already reflected in the numbers, as were the band’s fees. Cultural Arts Assistant Camille Escareal-Garcia indicated that was correct and that both the sound production vendor and the band would be paid on the day of the concert. 5 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 3 Chair Greer indicated that they might still be missing items such as security for the concert. Cultural Arts Assistant Escareal-Garcia explained they did not pay for security, but people would be there to ensure the crowd did not get out of hand. Commissioner Kaufman noted that there was a balance in the grants section, in which the award of $5,000 for Laguna Playhouse was not reflected in the financial report. Cultural Arts Assistant Camille Escareal-Garcia explained that the amount would be reflected the following month as the organization submitted their paperwork later than the other grant winners. The organization was notified that they would receive a mock check at the presentation, and the real check would be mailed out when it was processed. Chair Greer said that if the CAC had any remaining funding closer to the opening of the Sculpture Garden Exhibition it should be used for publicity, specifically in The Daily Pilot and The Orange County Register. The exhibition has been publicized in The Navigator, rack cards, and by banner. Cultural Arts Assistant Camille Escareal-Garcia stated a banner would be set up in the Bamboo Courtyard. Currently there is a banner up for the concert series and that banner would return after the Sculpture Exhibition opening. Chair Greer noted that they were asked to submit all the requisitioning two weeks prior. Anything staff could do to augment the publicity would be appreciated. She called for further CAC comment on the financial report but heard none. 4.Cultural Arts Activities – Monthly review of cultural arts activities from the Library Administrative Office for upcoming Library and City arts events andservices Library Services Director Hartson reported that they kicked off the Concerts on the Green season in May with a great turnout for Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band. The children’s activities were a great addition to the program. The current exhibit at the Central Library Gallery was installed at the beginning of May and is “Flying Flowers and Butterfly photography.” Motion made by Commissioner Simon, seconded by Commissioner George, and carried (6-0-0-1) to approve the Consent Calendar. AYES: Greer, Little, Flanagan, Simon, Kaufman, George NOES: None ABSTENTIONS: None ABSENT: McNulty 6 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 4 VII.CURRENT BUSINESS A.Items for Review and Possible Action 5.Sculpture Exhibition Phase VII Grand Opening and Artist LuncheonStaff provides an update to the City Arts Commission regarding the SculptureExhibition Phase VII Grand Opening and Artist Luncheon, scheduled onSaturday, June 25, 2022. Chair Greer introduced the item and called for the staff report. Library Services Director Hartson stated that the Grand Opening for Phase VII would happen on Saturday, June 25, 2022. Installation of the pieces was scheduled for completion later in the week. The updated brochure features Phases VI and VII. The luncheon will be hosted by the Newport Beach Arts Foundation (NBAF) and the public grand opening will follow. The public is invited to tour the garden and participate in children’s activities. The NBAF requested to do a fundraising appeal during the ceremony, but former Library Services Director Hetherton worked with the City Attorney’s Office and was informed that the NBAF would not be allowed to make the fundraising appeal. Additionally, Council Policy B-17 prohibits the use of donor plaques. Library Services Director Hartson has already advised the NBAF of the City Attorney’s findings. Chair Greer asked if they could mention that the Foundation was the fundraising arm of the CAC and if the NBAF could still address the guests and thank them for coming considering they were hosting the luncheon. Library Services Director Hartson indicated that she was still waiting to hear from the City Attorney about that. Chair Greer stated that the CAC would observe the City’s policies and guidelines. She thanked the leadership committee for their help in planning the grand opening. She stated that they were looking forward to Mayor Pro Tem Blom giving the dedication. Commissioner Simon inquired about damage to one of the selected sculptures. Chair Greer explained that the sculpture Got Juice was damaged in transition. It will be pushed out as an application for Phase VIII as it received the most votes in the public online survey for Phase VII. To the Moon by Alex G has replaced Got Juice in Phase VII. Alex G is a three-time artist in the Sculpture Garden. Chair Greer called for the public comment. Jim Mosher reminded the CAC that while commissioners will be present at the Sculpture Garden Grand Opening, it is not a regularly scheduled meeting of the CAC, therefore, they should avoid speaking amongst themselves about CAC business. Chair Greer clarified that the Civic Center Park was a 14-acre site, and the Commissioners would attend to greet the community, ensure the event ran smoothly, and provide direction to attendees. Commissioners would be busy with hosting duties and probably unlikely to speak much with each other, but she thanked Mr. Mosher for the reminder. 7 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 5 B. Monthly Reports 6. Newport Beach Arts Foundation Liaison Commissioners Maureen Flanagan and Arlene Greer Chair Greer called for the report. Secretary Flanagan reported the NBAF met on May 18 and discussed the Lila Crespin Scholarship and the Sculpture Exhibition donation plaques. The NBAF was disappointed to hear about not being able to use donation plaques for Phase VIII of the Sculpture Exhibition. They also discussed Art in the Park which, is scheduled for October 22. Chair Greer asked if President Carmen Smith had anything to add. Carmen Smith, President of NBAF, repeated that Art in the Park was scheduled for October 22. She handed out rack cards to the Commissioners for dissemination. The next meeting of the NBAF was scheduled for the following week. Chair Greer announced that several Commissioners attended the Balboa Art Walk and met the artists. They encouraged the artists to register and participate in Art in the Park. The CAC programming directly benefits from the funds raised at Art in the Park. She asked the CAC to reach out to any artists they knew and encourage participation accordingly. The Balboa Island Parade was amazing, and the Business Industry Association of Balboa Island agreed to hang the Summer Concert series banner on the bridge. The banner will remain through the concert series end in October. 7. Newport Beach Art Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee Commissioners Arlene Greer, Marie Little, Maureen Flanagan Chair Greer reported that the leadership committee met and agreed the Newport Beach Art Exhibition guidelines should be revised and shortened to increase artist participation. A small number of artists applied to the Art Exhibition than in previous years, and they attributed that to COVID. Accordingly, they postponed the event as it would have been too small and insignificant and unfair to artists hoping to sell their works. The committee will reduce the guidelines and discuss increasing the artist awards to be more consistent with the industry standard in Southern California. Currently the awards stand at $300 for first prize, $200 for second prize, and $100 for third in four different categories. There is also a juror’s award and an award for the most popular work. In the future, they would invite artists through personal phone calls to participate rather than sending a blast email. Artists love being personally invited, so that was a strategy the CAC would follow moving forward. There has been no decision made regarding the new date for the Art Exhibition. The latest the program could occur would be Father’s Day weekend (June 24) in 2023. In the past Father’s Day weekend has been the most successful time for the Exhibition. The event is held outdoors and would most likely have to wait until Spring 2023. The committee would study the matter and bring it back to the CAC at the next meeting. She called for questions about the Art Exhibition but heard none. She called the public comment, but there was none. 8 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 6 Chair Greer announced all the ad hoc subcommittees were active. Art in Public Spaces would meet the following week to consider applications and a donation. The committee includes herself, Vice Chair Little, and Commissioner McNulty. With respect to the Cultural Arts Grants committee, she suggested it could be sunsetted until the next round of grants. Commissioner Kaufman suggested the committee remain open until they could meet and conduct a debriefing. Chair Greer confirmed that was acceptable to staff and indicated the Cultural Arts Grants Ad Hoc Subcommittee would not be sunset. The Newport Beach Art Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee is made up of herself, Vice Chair Little, and Secretary Flanagan. The Balboa Preforming Arts on the Peninsula Ad Hoc Subcommittee is comprised of herself, Vice Chair Little, and Commissioner George. They selected Stone Soul for the Marina Park concert on October 2, 2022, but the committee is still engaged in planning. The Summer Concert Series on the Green has concluded most of its business but is not a subcommittee as the CAC meets in public and makes the decisions. In the fall, staff would announce a call for concert artists so the CAC would have the information to study prior to their January decision for Summer 2023 concerts. Finally, the Historical Resources Liaisons are herself, Commissioner McNulty, and Commissioner George. That committee had no business at present. She indicated that concluded the ad hoc subcommittee reports. The Surf Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee was comprised of herself, Vice Chair Little, and Secretary Flanagan and would meet the following Tuesday. The Newport Beach Student Art Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee included Commissioner George and she invited her to provide an update. Commissioner George reported that the public did not know much about the Student Art Exhibition, and she wanted to make sure children knew about the opportunity. Prior to the end of the school year, at a school open house she spoke with a member of the School Board and requested help publicizing the program in the schools. Vice Chair Little said that the previous year Cultural Arts Assistant Escareal-Garcia had reached out to all the schools. She thought getting the School Board involved would draw more people, but she wanted it on the record that they had reached out to all the schools in Newport Mesa School District and the private schools in Newport Beach. Cultural Arts Assistant Camille Escareal-Garcia said that the Library’s Marketing Specialist created flyers about the website specifically for programs for students and containing information about the Student Art Exhibition. The last Student Art Exhibition had about 90 total submissions, but she thought there was an opportunity to increase that number. Vice Chair Little reminded the CAC that the 2021 Student Art Exhibition was the first one they ever hosted. They were open to suggestions and were hopeful to draw in more students. Chair Greer commended staff as it was difficult to engage students over the summer. She asked Commissioner George if her five children were aware of the 2021 Student Art Exhibition opportunity. Commissioner George indicated that they were not aware of it, and she spoke to other parents who were also unaware. She understood it was a work in progress and thought the CAC would accomplish amazing things and engage more children in the future. The 9 Newport Beach City Arts Commission Meeting Minutes June 9, 2022 Page 7 children love the idea of an exhibition and were excited to hear that there were prizes available. Chair Greer said that the CAC was all about outreach. She noted that the Student Art Exhibition had more entries than the delayed Newport Beach Art Exhibition. She thanked Commissioner George for reaching out to the School Board member. Commissioner Simon remembered that last year at the Pageant of the Masters, they had a separate exhibition of student art. He suggested including the student art in the Newport Beach Art Exhibition as an adjunct to the main theme. That could be another incentive for children to participate in their exhibition. Chair Greer thought that was an excellent idea. Vice Chair Little noted that she had previously suggested the idea. Chair Greer said that they had tried and learned that space was an issue. However, there was space down the plaza and the committee would look into it. There was another seat open on the committee and she asked for a volunteer. Commissioner Simon volunteered. Cultural Arts Assistant Escareal-Garcia explained that they had intended to have last year’s winners of the Student Art Exhibition be awarded at the Newport Beach Art Exhibition. However, because it was postponed, they held the ceremony at a CAC meeting. Commissioner Simon suggested that not only should the students receive their awards, but the works could also be displayed at the Newport Beach Art Exhibition. Chair Greer agreed and stated that the ribbons could be put on the student work the same as for the adult works. She called for comments from the CAC, but there were none. She thanked Commissioner Simon for volunteering and announced that the Student Art Exhibition committee was comprised of herself, Commissioner George, and Commissioner Simon. The committee would meet soon so that Cultural Arts Assistant Escareal-Garcia could commence work. They will start with a timeline and a date for the awards ceremony. The Surf Exhibition committee was assigned and included herself, Vice Chair Little, and Secretary Flanagan. They will meet and return to the full CAC with the date of the Surf Exhibition event. She called for the public comment, but there was none.

Commissioner Simon brought up the utility box public art idea that had been previously discussed by the CAC and asked if it could be agendized. Library Services Director Hartson indicated that she would look into the matter and report back to the CAC. Chair Greer stated that Costa Mesa had a good program and that someone who used to work at the Newport Beach Public Library was now the Costa Mesa Arts Manager. She suggested reaching out to that individual for help. She called for further comments from the CAC but heard none. IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Jim Mosher stated that the City Council had agendized the confirmation of nominees to the City’s boards and commissions for June 14. The appointments from the nominations would be made at the June 28 City Council meeting. Commissioner Kaufman’s term is ending, and she has applied for reappointment, which he supported. Her reappointment was not certain as there were other applicants and he noted Commissioners were welcome to reach out to Council Members with their support. Chair Greer asked Library Services Director Hartson to make a recommendation on how the CAC members could reach out to Council so as not to violate the Brown Act. Library Services Director Hartson indicated she would get back to the CAC with that information. Chair Greer called for further public comment, but there was none.

Beach City Arts Commission FROM: Library Services Department Melissa Hartson, Library Services Director 949-717-3810, mhartson@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Melissa Hartson and Camille Escareal-Garcia TITLE: Cultural Arts Activities for June 2022 CONCERTS ON THE GREEN: Catch a Wave performed on June 12 on the Civic Green. The Beach Boys tribute band was well- received, with nearly 3,000 attendees gathering on the Civic Green. Children’s activities, provided by ARTovator, which included face painting and balloon animals, rounded out this family-fun event. Both the Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band concert and the Catch a Wave concert have set the summer tone for the series. SCULPTURE EXHIBITION PHASE VII GRAND OPENING EVENT On Saturday, June 25, the Newport Beach Arts Commission held the grand opening of Phase VII of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park. The celebration included a luncheon for the sculpture artists—funded by a generous gift from the Newport Beach Arts Foundation—followed by a dedication ceremony attended by Mayor Pro Tem Blom, several of the artists whose works are in the exhibition, and other dignitaries and community members. The event was well attended by the public, with about 300 attendees including families with young children. Light refreshments were available, and children’s activities provided by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity were quite popular. Live music performed by Duende Flamenco kept the event lively and truly enhanced the experience for the public. 16 CENTRAL LIBRARY GALLERY EXHIBITION: Rob Williams – Photo Archives July 5, 2022 – September 2, 2022 The Central Library Gallery presents the archives of photographer Rob Williams, whose work brings a timeless quality only expressed with silver based black and white negatives and prints. On display you will find select pieces from his many travels during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the Art of Nature, which captures stunning landscapes using only the available light of the sun, as well as his Ensenada Street Scene series, which documents life in the small fishing village turned tourist destination. Most of his photography was preserved in the archives of his closet, and only in recent years has Mr. Williams had the time to devote to printing and sharing his work. According to Mr. Williams, black and white photography “has a pure and timeless quality, capturing a moment in time that is more captivating and stunning than in color.” Though like all experts of their trade, Mr. Williams is not afraid to experiment from the norm, such as his Baja California photo series, which has an explosion color. A California native, Mr. Williams taught photography at Oceanview School District to help pay for his education at Orange Coast College in the 1970s. During this time, he sold photos and writings to newspapers, magazines, and contributed to a guidebook about the hot springs of Baja California. Digital capture was never pursued as an art form, as Mr. Williams is dedicated to sharing the original images he captured on film. Unaltered by computers or Photoshop, with no photo applications in his dark room, Mr. Williams is a ‘purist’ in the truest meaning of the word. FUTURE CENTRAL LIBRARY GALLERY EXHIBITIONS: •Shant Beudjekian (Acrylic): September 6 - November 4 •Helen Polin-Jones (Watercolor Portraits) November 7 - January 6, 2023 CULTURAL ARTS CALENDER OF EVENTS: City Arts Commission meetings are held at 5 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. UPCOMING CONCERTS ON THE GREEN DATES: •July 17 – Billy Nation (Billy Joel tribute band) •August 21 – Young Guns (Country cover band) •September 18 – Britain’s Finest (Beatles cover band) All Concerts on the Green start at 6 p.m. on the Civic Green CONCERT AT MARINA PARK: •Oct 2 – Stone Soul (Classic Soul and Motown Tribute) The Concert at Marina Park will start at 4 p.m.17 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Arts Commission approve a funding priority for submission to the Newport Beach Arts Foundation. DISCUSSION: ARTICLE IX of the Newport Beach Arts Foundation’s Articles of incorporation, “Disposition of Funds”, stipulates that the Foundation Board of Directors shall request annually from the City of Newport Beach Arts Commission a statement of funding priorities. In lieu of this request, staff has prepared the following funding opportunity for the City Arts Commission to approve for the consideration of the Newport Beach Arts Foundation. The City Arts Commission respectfully requests $20,000.00 from the Newport Beach Arts Foundation for the following: •Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park, Phase VIII: The Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park is a rotating exhibition comprised of 10 sculptures within each phase. Sculptors of works chosen for the exhibition are provided with a small honorarium to loan their work to the City. This funding would assist in providing the artists’ honorariums. If the City Arts Commission approves this funding opportunity, staff recommends that this list should be submitted to the Newport Beach Arts Foundation at their next scheduled meeting on July 20, 2022, at 6 p.m. in the Small Conference Room at the Central Library. NOTICING: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Arts Commission considers the item). TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: TITLE: CITY ARTS COMMISSION Library Services Department Melissa Hartson, Library Services Director 949-717-3810, mhartson@newportbeachca.gov Melissa Hartson City Arts Commission Statement of FY 2022-23 Funding Priorities for the Newport Beach Arts Foundation 18 TO FROM: PREPARED BY: TITLE: Newport Beach City Arts Commission Library Services Department Melissa Hartson, Library Services Director 949-717-3810, mhartson@newportbeachca.gov Melissa Hartson Selection of a New Date for the 56th Annual Newport Beach Art Exhibition RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Arts Commission approve a new date for the 56th Annual Newport Beach Art Exhibition to be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023. DISCUSSION: The 56th Annual Newport Beach Art Exhibition, originally slated for October 2021, was rescheduled for May 2022. The rescheduled May 2022 date was postponed due to a lower number of entry submissions than in previous exhibitions, with 35% less artist submissions than the previous 2019 exhibition. After discussions with the Newport Beach Art Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee, staff recommends returning the exhibition to a date in early summer, where the event has previously been successful with numerous artist submissions and community participation. The proposed date is Saturday, June 24, 2023. NOTICING: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Arts Commission considers the item). 19 TO Newport Beach City Arts Commission FROM: Library Services Department Melissa Hartson, Library Services Director 949-717-3810, mhartson@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Melissa Hartson TITLE: 2022 Student Art Exhibition Timeline RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Arts Commission approve a proposed timeline for the 2022 Newport Beach Student Art Exhibition. DISCUSSION: The first Student Art Exhibition, held in 2021, provided an opportunity for young artists to submit original, two-dimensional works of art. Artwork was displayed virtually on the City website and at the Central Library. With approximately 90 entries from students grades pre-K through 12th, the City Arts Commission awarded prizes to nine artist winners and identified three honorable mentions. Staff believes that providing an art exhibition for young artists meets one of the City Arts Commission’s goals to provide events centered around families with children and teens. Staff recommends that the City Arts Commission approve the following timeline for the 2022 Student Art Exhibition based on meeting a goal of the Commission and community interest and participation in the 2021 event: •Call for Entries: Friday, September 2, 2022 – Friday, November 4, 2022 •Judging Period: Mid-November, 2022 •Selection and Approval of Winners: Thursday, December 8, 2022 - City Arts Commission Regular Meeting •Display of Artwork: Monday, January 9, 2023 – Friday, February 10, 2023 •Student Art Award Presentation – January 2023 City Arts Commission Regular Meeting NOTICING: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Arts Commission considers the item)., if 20 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Arts Commission approve the date for the film screening of Jeff Parker’s 2009 film, Echo Beach. DISCUSSION: In the 1980s, Newport Beach spawned a new era of high-performance surfing and entrepreneurship, establishing Orange County as the focal point of the surf industry and a worldwide influencer of youth culture. This group of surfers came from different backgrounds and interests—bonded in their passion for surfing—and exploded on the scene, creating a unique look and revolutionary style that paralleled changes in music, culture, and the innovation of young surf companies such as Quicksilver, Stussy, Rip Curl, McCoy, and Wave Tools. Flashy wetsuits, colorful surfboards, and a new wave attitude created a “surfing Mecca” that would impact the surfing community around the world and give rise to a global industry. Photographers, surfers, surfboard shapers, magazines and clothing companies all came together to create this movement, which focused on a one-hundred-yard stretch of sand known as Echo Beach. Newport Beach surf culture in the 1980s drives the documentary Echo Beach about the decade that changed the sport. While Echo Beach is only a four-block length of beach in Orange County, it drew the best surfers from around the world to its waves. However, these surfers didn't just bring their skills— they brought innovation, building surfing from a hobby to a business. The film’s director and professional surfer, Jeff Parker, who is also featured in the film, has proposed to show the film and to participate in a panel discussion at the film’s conclusion.
