 ANNOUNCEMENTS AND COMING SOON:

TO ALL TAA MEMBERS USING THE ARTS CENTER:

Tables for Sale -  The heavy tables have been removed from the TAA building and are on the park side of the building. We are asking $45.00 per table (payable to the TAA). These tables are very sturdy. You will need help if you are going to pick one up. You must arrange your own vehicle for pick-up and delivery. We will be using them at the yard sale on 2/25 if they are still unsold and you may see them there.

The tables have been replaced with tables that have been LOANED to TAA – and they will be replaced when the association can afford to. The tables are covered in plastic to protect them. Please DO NOT remove the plastic. They can be folded and put against a wall if more room is needed when you use the facility.  It does give us a lot more flexibility with the room. We have placed a board that is marked cutting board for something to cut mat board on. There will be no cutting on the tables without using the cutting board! Thanks, Cheryl Martin and Annie Burke – Education Committee Chairs.

We are accepting donations of plastic top 6 & 8 ft. tables with folding legs. Please donate to the Arts Center if you have one you don’t use.

Other “wish list” items: a refrigerator/freezer that works, ours is on its very last leg, a commercial electric range – we have no stove now, a small piano (spinet) in working condition (tuning only)

MONSTER YARD SALE!!!

We will be participating in the Island-wide yard sale on Feb. 25th!  We need antiques, collectables, toys, games, electronics, jewelry, art supplies, bric-a-brac, decorative items, linens, purses, etc. Please, no clothes or shoes. Your tax deductible, 5013c letter for donations will be filled out at drop-off.

DROP-OFF at the Arts Center on Wednesday, 2/22, Thursday 2/23 from 12-6 or Friday 2/24 9-noon. Contact Chris Garbett at tybeechris1@bellsouth.net if you wish to drop off your items earlier than this.

Newsletter – January 2012

TYBEE ARTS ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER -  January-February 2012

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF TAA:  RECAP OF 2011 AND PLANS FOR 2012

We had our first Board meeting where we both reviewed our activities from last year and took a preview of plans for the coming year. As you may be aware, the Tybee Arts Association has been the annual recipient of a grant from the City for many years, based on the consideration that TAA provides significant benefit to Tybee as a whole. Here’s what TAA has brought to the table in the last 12 months:

2011 Events & Volunteer Hours
•      Murder at the Driftwood Saloon: 266 hrs
•      Wizard of Oz: 57,309 hrs
•      Tybee’s Got Talent: 185 hrs
•      Work for Show monthly shows: 6 X 440 hrs avg = 2640 hrs
•      Board meetings and business: at least 120 hrs
•      Art Classes: 400 hrs
•      Drama Camp: 400 hrs
•      Publicity and web: 180 hrs
The State of Georgia currently values volunteer time at roughly $20/hr. The above 61,500 hours are roughly the equivalent of $1,320,000 of community benefit based only on reported volunteer time.

In consideration for this kind of value to the community, TAA and the City have also agreed, effective as of this last week’s City Council vote, to a lease agreement that will allow us to remain a tenant at the current art center for the foreseeable future. City staff is completing some sorely needed repairs and upgrades, mainly to the electrical service on the building, after which we will also be able to use the Jim Ingham Black Box Theater again for dramatic productions.

The TAA will be pro-actively communicating any building modifications, obtaining permits in advance and getting inspections as needed, cooperating with the Tybee Historical Society to make sure any further upgrades do not harm the historic status of the building, and making sure new, energy efficient lighting is obtained for the theater. To get the best use of the building, we will continue to work on safety enhancements to the building itself as well as to our use of it.

Clearly, there are a lot of volunteer hours that are behind the work of the TAA. If you are involved with planning or executing ANY TAA event, PLEASE TRACK AND REPORT YOUR TIME. Volunteer hours will henceforward be reported in TAA minutes which are reported monthly to the City Council. Council relies on those reports when considering annual resource agreements with City non-profits. Reporting your time can have a direct impact on how TAA is viewed in the community!

For 2012, we have an aggressive mix of events to bring to Tybee:
•      Six weekend art shows, put on by the Work for Show teams
•      Public art projects:
–     City mosaic
–     Tybee Moons
•      Play: Laughter on the 23rd Floor
–     Others only in consideration stage
•      Annual Drama Camp
•      Greatly expanded art education programs
•      Grant research from new organizations
–     Arts, drama, events, education, historic preservation, solar power
–     Not just the City!
•      Continuing partnerships:
–     Tybee Post Theater – plays and events
–     Tybee Historical Society – preserving and enhancing historical aspects of the art building/fire house, as well as participating in THS events
–     City – TAA to take over monthly electrical bill in July, 2012
•      Focus on bringing Fall Festival of the Arts back in October
–     Major event with major impact on TAA; major loss without it!

Cheryl Martin and Annie Burke have agreed to co-chair the Education Committee. They are looking for instructors for single and continuing classes. Teaching is a great way to get your work known to a larger audience, to hone your expertise, and to make some money for both yourself and for the TAA. As one of the chartered purposes of the TAA is to promote arts education and appreciation, teaching a class provides exactly the community benefit that TAA was created to give. You’ll be hearing more from Cheryl and Annie!

Perhaps the most difficult of these programs is the Fall Festival of the Arts. Planning for this event would normally have been under way for several months already. Due to the cancellation of the event last year, it will take extra effort to get the ball rolling again and turn this into the kind of festival to which everyone has become used. Although the Board discussed some options at the last meeting, like reducing the scope of the event this year, we clearly need additional participation to get it going again, whether this year, or in 2013. If you are interested in helping out with any of these activities and events, please let a Board member know of such interest. We’ll make sure to put all parties in touch and try to get significant support together as soon as possible!

One key initiative for 2012 will be to publicize not only the individual events put on by TAA, but also to do a better job publicizing the participation and effort that goes into the production of these events as well as the results. We intend to provide a list of sponsors, patrons, and members on our web site, as well as providing advertising opportunities for sponsors and patrons in written material, such as in theater programs or show brochures. If you would like to make a significant donation to the TAA in order to get your business highlighted, please be sure to contact a Board member. We’ll certainly contact Tybee businesses before each event, but why wait? If, on the other hand, you have made a donation or are a member who wishes to remain anonymous, please send an email or note to Chris Garbett, our membership chair. We don’t want to invade anyone’s privacy, but we definitely want the community to know about our great members!

We are also looking for volunteers interested in helping to research and then apply for grants for the arts. If you have an interest in learning about grant writing, or have experience, please let the Board know, and soon, since there are already some grants that are closing for the 2012 operating year! The faster we can move on this the better. Rob Callahan is reviewing the existing charter and by-laws to make a recommendation as to whether and how these documents need updating. As we try to provide better written procedures to help future planners of events, we noted that there is a lot of history in the TAA which is not currently written in any usable or findable form, so we are also looking for an historian. If you have an interest in learning about the past of the TAA, and would like to organize our written records, we would like to hear from you as well!

One extra note, our Hospitality Chair has had to resign for personal reasons, so we are looking for someone to coordinate food and drink for TAA events.

Don’t forget to pay your 2012 dues if you have not done so already! If you can volunteer even just a few hours, your donation of time is just as important as your dues. Only by the active participation of our members and friends can we grow the Tybee Arts Association and provide better support for the arts on the island and surrounding communities! TAA will only be as good as YOU make it!

MANY THANKS TO LAST YEAR’S BOARD, RENEE DE ROSSETT, RICHARD ADAMS, SALLIE MCCLELLAND, AND KIM TRAMMEL, AS WELL AS ALL THE VOLUNTEERS AND INSTRUCTORS WHO WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE 2011 AN AMAZINGLY SUCCESSFUL YEAR!

Let’s build on their successes and make 2012 even more amazing and successful for the TAA, for its members, and for the City of Tybee Island!

-          Michael Bodine

PS I’m sure everyone will be relieved to know that I’ll make sure to write something a LOT shorter for the next newsletter!
