Good minutes, Monica!  You were very clear about what the issues were and how each was handled.  Congratulations.  Yes, the way forward is difficult, but it seems as if the group is accepting the responsibility to make LiA work.  Do you feel support from other members?  I'm sending you hugs.  Yours, Julie

Subject: [art4life] MEETING WITH ARTISTS/ARTISANS ON 21ST JUNE 2005

 

This was a meeting held on the 21st of June 2005 at mid-day.

 

Members present

1.                  Monica Nankoma

2.                  Lawrence Ibanda

3.                  Kiwanuka Mulindwa

4.                  Peter Ndelo

5.                  Esther Tumuhairwe

6.                  Rwamwamba Gladys

7.                  Edida Sabiiti

8.                  Rose Namukasa

9.                  Moreen Mukasa

10.              Margret Asimwe

11.              Gilbert Matsiko

12.              Arnold Katonya

13.              John Nyende

 

 

The meeting was convened to make a follow-up in what is the way forward for Life in Africa.

 

1.                  Membership

2.                  Advertising/Marketing

3.                  Gallery

4.                  Making use of Café/office

 

1. Membership:  Lawrence briefed the members that membership fee so far has been the only income LIA has been using, therefore, the members who do not pay membership are somehow failing some of the work to proceed.  He encouraged members to fully pay for the membership. There are also members who have deposited some money and have been reluctant to finish up payment.  Members agreed that, a non-fully paid member is not supposed to use the facilities in LIA eg, computer. Goods not put on the web, will not be allowed to participate in any activity, which will be on at that time. (eg F4F, bracelet) etc.  In this way members will value the importance of membership.

 

Lawrence was requested to compile a list of all paid/part paid members and set a general meeting. Members suggested 9^th July or 16^th July but would have loved Christina to attend.  This is to see who are the real committed members in LIA and also to brief them of our achievements and any new plans. We also encourage new members to join.

 

It was noted that some programs, which are very beneficial to LIA, e.g. Echoes of Africa magazine, eCreate etc are not very promoted in our meetings.  We agreed that we call a meeting of all interested members/new members, every Saturday at 10 o’clock to make a program and review what is in our last month’s magazines or what we would want to be published.  Also to guide or teach others who are interested to participate in this useful magazine. We noted that members need to be sensitized to know more about these other opportunities in LIA other than art and handcrafts, etc.

 

2. Advertising/Marketing:  We have to let people out there know that the shop is now open. Addition to this subject, Monica informed members that during the last opening, we raised Shs.4, 200 which we could put to use in advertising.  Members agreed that we use that money to add on the signpost on the main road that the gallery is open.  Kiwanuka and Gilbert were assigned to handle it.

 

We agreed that we first use the free opportunities available to do our advertising and secure our little budget, which we have for the gallery to do other things. Kiwanuka Mulindwa to contact Kiwere Nathan in charge of art publicity programs on UTV, Nyende John to contact Showtime magazine on WBS.  Monica and Kiwanuka to find a way of handling the reporters in Weekly Observer who covered the function in Emin Pasha.  Monica to contact Sue and Amanda to advertise the gallery from the monthly meetings in the expatriate staff etc.

 

3. Gallery:  Esther reported that the problem she finds in the gallery is that the prices are unfairly high and the commodities are very few.  The members also come and take their things anytime they wish.

 

Members suggested that there should be some deterrent measures on the things sold in the gallery, the Art works, more especially the artisan stuff.  We agreed that 1-month should be maximum time one to remove their staff which is not sold.  If a member wants to take it before then, will pay a fine of 20% of the cost price of the said commodity. 

 

Esther to record the items withdrawn and are fully examined.  Members agreed to borrow money and stock the gallery.  A committee of 9 people was asked to meet and identify the products to stock the gallery and also to identify the real producers, set a price.

Members are:  Esther, Edida, Arnold Katonya, Namukasa, Serena, Rita, Immaculate, Pross, and Gladys.  Will meet next Tues 28^th June 2005.

 

4. Using Café/office:  Monica informed members that the use of our office is being abused.  Instead of members using the computers for the official/beneficial work, they just go into the networked folders and in the process; they delete useful stuff of the organization. She suggested that we should lay a schedule for each person to use the computer and when on the computer please use it with responsibility as your own.

Members agreed that a system of password should be put in place to avoid such careless accidents. 

 

The new members who want to learn using the computer should follow the instructions given by trainers.

 

The core members will make a schedule to be followed and a password to be used in some of the important LIA files.  Monica to print posts warning on the use of computers and put them into promulgation.

 

Next meeting is slated for Tues 28^th June 2005.

OH MY GOODNESS! You guys are amazing!

This is great work! Congratulations.

See my few comments below:

> be allowed to participate in any activity, which
> will be on at that time. (eg F4F, bracelet) etc.  In

I support this 100% - It has seemed to me also that
membership growth is an income generator the WE Center
has been underutilizing.

Are there members with welcome pages that have not yet
fully paid?

> a general meeting.
> Members suggested 9th July or 16th July but would
> have loved Christina to attend.

I can attend on either of those days if I know in
advance.

> It was noted that some programs, which are very
> beneficial to LIA, e.g. Echoes of Africa magazine,
> eCreate etc are not very promoted in our meetings.

VERY excellent point. Thank you for noticing :)

> Monica informed members that during
> the last opening, we raised Shs.4, 200 which we
> could put to use in advertising.

From the event we raised a shs. 450,000+ budget for
the gallery. Is this what is meant here?

> reporters in Weekly Observer who covered the
> function in Emin Pasha.

DID OUR EVENT GET INTO THE WEEKLY OBSERVER? If so, I
really need to get a copy please.

Monica to contact Sue and
> Amanda to advertise the gallery from the monthly
> meetings in the expatriate staff etc.

ANNE BJELLA is very active in these circles too.


>    Gallery:  Esther reported that the problem she
> finds...

SOO glad to hear you are developing a system.

>    Using Café/office: ....  they delete
> useful stuff of the organization....
> Members agreed that a system of password should be

uH OH... WHAT HAS BEEN LOST? Good idea to put a
password.

> Monica to print posts warning on the use

"Promulgation" ?!  I'm always hearing how I use words
people never heard before (like "terrific"). This one
is a new word for me! :)

Hello Christina,
Quite simple actually.
There is a front-end (what the site visitor sees) and a back-end (where the
artists will log-in and upload images of their work / fill in their contact
details).

A site visitor then goes to the site and can search for artists work by type
of work (e.g neo-retro, impressionist, etc , etc) or by price (also set by
the artist) or by other criteria.

They then find the work they like (little thumbnails are auto-generated when
the artist uploads the work to the back-end) select it and get a page giving
details of the particular piece with various thumbnailed images (that open a
larger pic when clicked), and link to a specific "bio" page of the artist
and includes links to all art work he/she may have on the site, as well as
link to personal website if available.

The only drawback is that the viewer contacts the artist directly to
purchase/negotiate for the work ..... therefore not making it a true auction
site where one places bids on items displayed e.g E-Bay et al.

Also, due to local limitations of online merchant accounts, direct credit
card purchases cannot be done. However, the system can be integrated with a
number of online payment gateways ..... at least I think.

Let me know
Yuda

Hello,

I read that you are looking for volunteers for your auctions project.

I would be more than happy to help out.



Brief background:

My name is Yuda Mubiru and I design and develop web solutions as well as
doing a host of other things (too boring to mention in one e-mail).

I have worked on a number of project most notably Uganda Christian
University's website as well as other more commercial projects e.g
homes.co.ug

www.Cars.co.ug  etc.



I think a system like that on the www.cars.co.ug <http://www.cars.co.ug/>
website would be perfect for artists, that is until a system of channeling
money to them (the artists) is worked out.

Anyway, let me have your thoughts.

Regards

Yuda

Hi Yuda - I'm definitely interested in knowing more.
Can you explain the system you refer to? How does it
work in practice?

I would love for John to be involved in helping to
document this first workshop so others can learn. He
does such a great job with the pictures.

Hello Art4Life group -

Kiwanuka and I discovered yesterday that we have a
whole stack of plywood at LiA which could be easily
cut to be used as peace tiles for murals like the one
presented to the Charity 4 Peace Foundation at the
Solidarity in style event.

We're planning a first Art4Life peacetiles workshop
with those same Gulu kids later this month, where they
will have the opportunity to work with (hopefull)
Kiwanuka, Humphrey and Moses on making a mural to send
to another group of kids at risk somewhere in the
world. The idea is really to help them "visualize"
peace and feel themselves become agents of inspiration
and peace for other kids.

There might be ways to explore on how we can use the
Peace Tiles concept in other contexts to raise funds
to do more work with disadvantaged kids. There is an
international group of people working on this in lots
of different countries. They are online at

http://www.omidyar.net/group/peacetiles

Please join us there if you are interested.

Great to see the ideas flowing! Looks like you all had
a productive meeting. My comments below -

Monica - you and I discussed how this could work in
the context of the 4-way split. did you have a chance
to discuss this with the members?

> Being the first of a kind we need advise from people

Not for a shop opening, in my view.

Do we need a

If you're going to be there all day, what would the
guest of honor do, and when?

>

This is a new idea - what will the video coverage be
used for?


> We shall set up a tent in the garden for some of our

> day.

I thought the displays would be in the gallery? What
do you plan to display under a tent?

If you're expecting many people and food, have you
thought about any tables/chairs?

My best...........

Actually, for this first (of hopefully many) Peace
Tiles workshop, we need to prepare ourselves. I had
hoped to have 2 meetings to do that on Wednesday 15
June at 10am and another the following week. We need
to purchase materials and devise a plan of action, so
that we know what we are doing by the time we get
there.

There are 3 spots available in the car... if the three
proposed can't make it, then others can step in to
fill the spaces. Whoever goes this first time will
hopefully be able to help the others prepare more
workshops in the future.

ALSO - the following paintings were sold on Saturday
night:

Moses Bahuuta - Lonely Kids - shs. 260,000
Deo Drale - The Other side - shs. 250,000
Ritah Edopu - The Journey Begins - shs. 700,000
Humphrey Ndege - Orphan Child - shs. 850,000

There were a few glitches with the auction, but
hopefully we all learned something about how to do it
better next time.

BTW - I was supposed to be on vacation right now, but
Lucas has come down with the chicken pox :-(
