Next meeting is planned for Monday May 12, 730 PM

Hello - Next meeting is planned for Monday May 12, 730 PM at DCAC,
definitely in the gallery - we need to de-install. For the 7 that
were in the show - if you can’t make this meeting you need to let me
know ASAP so I can arrange to get you in to pick up your stuff on
Sunday nite.
Agenda items for next meeting

1- deinstall - post-mort show & learn-a-palooza and document what was
great and what we need to do better


2- presentations
Kofi Dofour cannot make the meeting on Monday so will have to present
later.
I have had inquiries from five or so new people. If you are one of
those new people and would like to present some slides let me know
ASAP. Bring a CD of only five or so jpgs representing your most
current work and plan to talk for 5-10.
3- Working on getting a draft of the E32 project to screen - but not
sure that is going to come through in time for Monday - if it does
we’ll show it


4- Talk about Cuisine des Artistes - DCAC really needs everyone to
help with this. I am glad many of you have mentioned ideas to me, but
you really, really need to email bstan...@dcartscenter.org so he knows
you are confirmed and can put you in touch with the coordinator for
the event. We can brainstorm more ideas at the meeting as it would be
fantastic if everyone that was just in the exhibition could do
appetizers and talk about your experience so far with Sparkplug to the
guests (those that can ‘show us the money’) at this event


5- Talk about my draft for the new Sparkplug web page on
dcartscenter.org as well as possibility of documenting the 1st show
with an online publication


6- plan a June meeting some where other than DCAC (the show that comes
in after us will be de-installing both Sunday and Monday) - options
could be another party or meet at a museum or someone’s studio,


7- decide what you want to do about meetings for July & August so I
can let B & DCAC know


8- ~ALWAYS ALWAYS feel free to email me anything else you want to talk
about or think needs to be added to the next meetings agenda-AND
ANYTHING I MAY HAVE FORGOT!

What is DCAC's Sparkplug?

Currently composed of eight DC area artists and curators, DCAC's SPARKPLUG meets regularly to discuss their work, explore common concerns, grow their community and dream up creative engagements both in DC and around the world. Through its support of Sparkplug, DC Arts Center provides meeting space, legal and technical resources and exhibition opportunities to emerging artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ. Via a continuing dialogue encompassing the theoretical and the practical, the group’s members share experiences, perspectives, preoccupations, challenges, and topics informing their ongoing artistic practice.



The goal of DCAC's SPARKPLUG is to identify superior artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ, provide an environment to help foster their development, provide legal, technical and other resources, and provide opportunities for them to exhibit both in DC and around the country.



DCAC's SPARKPLUG will actively seek its membership from all communities in the Washington, DC region with the goal of bringing together emerging artists and curators with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, a diversity of professional preoccupations and creative visions.
