5. Mini Mural Project-Curation
Ms. Naudziunas explained that there had been an interest in deciding on a project to work on over the
winter. The group decided to pursue the Mini Mural Project, an idea that was brought to the group by
Mr. Marquardt. The concept is to install smaller scale vinyl sheets containing local art on exterior walls
in downtown Oshkosh. The group agreed to dedicate their time to this project with a June 611,2020
launch date. The group was shown a digital image of the art piece that was submitted by each artist.
The group did not have access to the artists name to ensure the process was unbiased. The group
carefully eliminated art submissions that did not fit the desired goal of the outdoor galley and after
much deliberation the group finalized their selections. Ms. Naudziunas explained that each piece
would be assigned a location in the city and that she would notify each applicant on the outcome of this
meeting.
