The newly enlarged arts council met on Sunday, Feb. 1 to plan for upcoming arts events for the seasons of Lent, Easter and Pentecost, as well as the whatever-it-is (formerly the HopeArts Festival) this summer. In attendance were new member Jane Bryant and continuing members Kelly Foster, Wendy Dooldeniya, and Rick Van Dyke.
They discussed planning hands-on activities for the monthly arts gatherings, since discussions are not where it's at right now — along the lines of club meeetings, where you have some business and then a program. The next meeting will be an extremely unboring poetry reading with all invited to participate.
Wendy is looking for a few more artists to design posters for the Easter exhibit. Anyone interested should contact Wendy for more information. April's

still has not been scheduled and the council is looking for a passionate someone willing to head up performing arts at Hope.
Hope Chapel will be coordinating with ChristChurch Anglican (formerly Holy Trinity Episcopal) for Lenten and Holy Week services. Services will be held at Hope, including Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, and will feature performances and readings by artists from both bodies.
Kelly reported on his design team's plans for working with the building, landscaping, and graphic design of Hope's publications (like the weekly bulletin). Everyone agrees that any changes need to be warm and welcoming.
Wendy submitted a draft of a plan for the summer festival. The group decided to meet again on Feb. 8 to talk more about it. Anyone who has worked on previous festivals knows that a huge amount of talking goes into it before the action can start. So stay tuned...
The council will be crafting a new vision statement that reflects HopeArts' focus on people. They will also be formulating a process for hiring a new arts pastor when the funds for that become available. Meanwhile, the council members' roles are to advocate for the various areas and manage the arts budget.
