3. 14th Annual Winterfest Ice Installation & Lantern Display Update
• Ice sculptors are flexible with installation timeline due to lack of snow. We need snow to trench the
cables for the lights. People enjoy seeing the process, so it should be fine with starting on the 20th.
• Doe Browning is continuing to make a charitable contribution to this year’s Winterfest.
• Promotions & marketing of Winterfest: 4 x 9 rack card, push to artinvail.com website, Vail Daily ½ page
ads, social media, A-frame signs near installation, Art in Vail mail chimp, Concierge informational email
• Lantern kits and video ready by Dec. 14. Barrett Woods is volunteering to put the kits together which
will be picked up at Welcome Center. Many requests for the free kits have already been received.
• Molly will begin the install of the paper lantern display on the International Bridge with Public Works
tomorrow. 110 total lanterns created by First – Fourth grade students of VMS. They will be just as
delightful to see during the daytime.
• Guests can add their lanterns to the shepherd hooks in the planters on the International Bridge.
• Lantern kits will include - watercolor set, winter themed stickers, lights/pipe cleaner, pipe cleaner

• Molly reminds Board of nature inspired direction requested by VRD for the space and user groups –
especially weddings and banquets.
• The Board discusses various options at the entrance to the southside of the clubhouse – event space.
• Courtney recommends looking at another artist who works in a more natural conventional subject
matter similar to the oversized pinecone installations.
• Kara recommends gathering more information and confer with the artists for our next meeting, so the
Board can finalize a decision.
6. Coordinator updates.
• LFS installation at library will be removed before the holidays. The Board asks Molly to store the
installation, so they can consider it for future use.

as well as locations for additional murals.
