00:29:54 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: This is our Facebook where I have begun 2 weeks of daily video and engagement content we call "Virtual Programming" https://www.facebook.com/MannArtGalleryPA/ 00:32:45 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: Our current challenge beyond needing to cancel all gallery tours and in-person workshops was that I had to cancel 4 exhibitions, and our AGM has been postponed 00:35:52 Sarah: Good info, Keith. I am new to Zoom. 00:39:50 Sarah: Thanks for all the good work Creative Kids does, Shawn. 00:40:38 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: no mike 00:40:46 Christy: Sorry I am unable to speak first time on Zoom. From Moose Jaw Mulseum and art gallery 00:44:16 shawnb: I didn't explain my program very well. For those who are unfamiliar, Creative Kids helps kids get into art, music, dance, theatre and cultural activities by paying for lessons for those unable to afford them. 00:44:17 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: Currently our only way to engage the members of the Mann Art Gallery is online through our social media and newsletters. It is currently our short and long term programming that is being affected the most, including the delay of our AGM. I have been having many members express support for my Facebook and YouTube live Art Appreciation Discussions and we are also posting live and pre-recorded video discussions of artworks in our vault. I am having challenges orienting my staff to an online workspace as we are all so tied to our desktop computers but am exploring TeamViewer and moving urgent documents to the cloud on GDrive 00:46:38 SAA -- Marnie: SAA has a page with information about COVID-19 resources - http://www.artsalliance.sk.ca/news/covid-19-resource-list 00:46:56 Marilyn Richardson: Has anyone found a choir solution 00:48:16 Marilyn Richardson: can you give us the link for Canada Performs grant? 00:48:37 Kaitlyn: https://www.eduarts.ca/resources-for-the-arts-and-learning-sector-during-the-covid-19-pandemic 00:49:39 Jackie Dance: Canada performs https://nac-cna.ca/en/series/canadaperforms 00:49:43 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: Don't hesitate to reach out to your local media (papers and online news sources) if you are posting things online as they are desperate for good news stories. Our media here has been great 00:50:06 Sarah: Marilyn, we have found choirs on YouTube doing the same arrangements, and recommended our members to practice with those choirs at hom. 00:50:57 Sarah: Home. 00:53:04 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: I am using Slack with my team, it's an app to keep us connected during remote and in-office work 00:53:08 Kathryn Ricketts: I have been using WhatsApp with my children on my I phone quite bit 00:56:16 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: We are promoting art-making as mental health / self care, and inviting people to join us on a weekend sketchbook / art journal "theme of the weekend" and posting the results on Monday. Building community. Not a new idea but not what we usually do. 01:00:19 Jackie Dance: If anyone wants to see some of our posts on YouTube here is our link. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9SBaX8thr1tPcEOppslZOw?view_as=subscriber 01:04:13 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: The uncertainly is taking a big toll on my as Director of the Gallery, as I don't know when it's reasonable for me to start trying to book new exhibitions and if I will even get summer students, and even if one of the artists who is not in good health will survive. That's very grim, but it's there. 01:07:46 keithbartlett@sasktel.net: Landlines can join zoom conference sessions via any of the toll free numbers further down in the email invitation. 01:10:24 Marilyn Richardson: Just asking. Are we finished at 2:00 I need to go and teach so must run for lunch sometime soon. 01:14:39 Marilyn Richardson: I need a technical solution for simultaneous sound like band, choir, piano . This solution will address a lot of the challenges we are experiencing. Could we switch back to technology until 2:00. 01:21:02 Marilyn Richardson: too long 01:21:14 Marilyn Richardson: we should experiment when we are together 01:21:46 Marilyn Richardson: invite us to answer by chat perhaps 01:23:15 Marilyn Richardson: Why not get up to come together to experiment with for example singing together...like the Happy Birthday experiment. 01:24:11 Marilyn Richardson: We also need to know how to fund collaborations via video. How to get advertisers to click on our work and donate, etc. I actually have no clue about this sort of things. 01:25:58 Marilyn Richardson: We should dedicate these talks to topics like financial support, a social coffee talk, technical solutions. I'd like to see short meetings in clusters rather and open topics. Today was really great. Thank you for including me. I am small potoatoes.LOL I am an artist as well as a musician so this talk was helpful. 01:26:22 Jackie Dance: Thanks for asking our opinions 01:26:43 Sarah: Thanks for organizing this discussion. 01:27:06 Marilyn Richardson: Thank you. 01:27:42 SAA -- Marnie: Thanks everyone 01:27:44 Mitchell Larsen: Thank you for doing this! 01:27:46 Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert SK: Thanks
