Chair Report (JR) (see attached) 10. Discussion/Action Item — Collaboration with FLASH Leah Franks presentation- she is representing a new non-profit in Louisville and is the former LCC Chair and member for 5 years. She believes FLASH can be a supplement to things that we already have happening in Louisville. Goes over the history of the old LCC non-profit and how it was separated from the LCC board officially a few years back. Leah reinstated the non-profit and it is now renamed FLASH. Her goal is to have a collaboration with the Arts Board. Current goal is to get a multi -site mural project working with private businesses. She is requesting 5k of the extra programming budget for FLASH. Beth recused herself from this portion of the meeting because she is on the FLASH board. Vote on funding request: Discussions around whether the private space that the mural is on would benefit is the main point of discussion. It is also discussed as wether or not FLASH has any proposed artists or locations established. A motion is made by JR to deny the request, seconded by Sarah with the request that Leah comes back to make another request since it is part of the mission of the Arts Board to collaborate with other arts groups, nonprofits and boards. No dissents, request is denied. 11. Discussion / Action Item — 2023 Public Art Grant • 2024 Public Art Grant funds. Can we use 2024 funds to assist with 2023 project? i.
