Jim,

What a great note.  And, you continue the pearl/jewelry theme.  Main Street Rocks--and has the rocks!  Big ones.  

Congratulations on the Legacy Award.  Congratulations to everyone--Top Three, the finalists, Stephanie Durant, and the Top Ten (or Eleven) and Claremore.

May 2019 be even better.

Safe travels and fun events for all.

Ron

Subject: MAIN STREET ROCKS!

Congratulations to the Oklahoma Main Street Program for an outstanding banquet last night.  It was a dazzling display of the efforts made by so many people in the  historic preservation and economic development of their communities.   As always, Buffy Hughes and Ron Frantz did a great job in highlighting the celebrated events and recognizing the people that help determine their communities future.  I know the state Main Street Staff spent much time and effort to produce the banquet.  They always outdo themselves.

The theme of the 30th Banquet showcased the jewels in Main Street organizations, the sparkling celebrations that promote our historic downtowns, the brilliant design restorations made to the built environments and the many facets of recharging the economic vitalities of Main Street businesses.  

It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.  It was very satisfying to reconfirm Main Street is a powerful process in strengthening Oklahoma.  The Oklahoma Department of Commerce has a prolific economic engine in Main Street that brings thousands of tourist to our state and fills the cash registers in our communities.   I’ve said it before and it bears repeating - MAIN STREET ROCKS!

It was a pleasure to spend the last 15 years of my professional career with Main Street, it was always a privilege to work with the many Main Street business owners and it was an honor to receive this year’s Oklahoma Main Street Legacy Award.  Thank you very much.

Jim Watters

Good afternoon all! Unfortunately my working brain will not shut off. Does anyone have anyone have a list, or know any beer garden/ mobile bars, for an event in June?! I would love to have one at our Relics and Rods event that is held on June 29th! 
Thank you for any feedback!

The Big Friendly Beer Bus (in OKC, I think) is super awesome, but you'll
need to get an ABLE license to have anything like that (or any alcohol
at all) at a public event.

Captain Daniels in McAlester is awesome to work with on the permitting process.     I don’t have his number but it’s easily found when you google ABLE in McAlester.

The on-time rate for April was 72%.  The Main Street Program that did not submit a report were Ardmore, Claremore, McAlester, and Sapulpa.

Remember, submitting your reinvestment reports on time gets you 5 quality assurance points and missing three in a row gets you suspension from services until a reinvestment report is submitted.


Milestones this Month:  Kendall Whittier hits $140 million!!  Tulsa Route 66 hits $265 million!!!

3.       Webinar: Developing a Food Procurement Policy or Profile 2. NESAWG 2019 Conference Call for Proposals Closes June 8th! Please join the Chesapeake Farm to Institution Work Group for our upcoming webinar on May 28, 2019 @ 2 pm Eastern via Zoom. This webinar will provide guidance on how a school, college, or hospital can develop a food procurement policy or profile. Developing a policy or profile can institutionalize good food values that prioritize support for local farmers and food producers, sustainable or regenerative agriculture practices, and women and minority-owned farms and food businesses. The discussion will include:

*         how to facilitate an inclusive process that engages those who will be most impacted in the policy or profile,

*         types of language to include, and sample templates,

*         the process for developing and approving a policy or profile.

Subject: [MainstreetTowns] info about coordinating murals

Message-ID: <74b97a990561f8a761a1a877ccfd195c@mainstreetenid.org>

Hello, Main Streeters! 

A few asked about planning murals, so here are things I've experienced
and learned. 

FUNDING 

 	* Murals cost around $10-20 per square foot. This can really add up,
but you might be able to negotiate the price down if you can provide the
scaffolding or lift, prep and prime the wall, etc., to take some time
and cost off of the mural artist.
 	* We have the building owner contribute at least $1,000 since we're
making their building a tourist attraction. They should also add
lighting.
 	* We also use some of our mural program funds and get other sponsors,
usually $1,000  $1,500 each - or you could crowdfund with ioby or
gofundme, etc.
 	* The City of Enid has an Art in Public Places ordinance and funds (I
can explain this separately) but we have NOT used this funding for any
murals so far. I probably will, though.
 	* I designed the Bright Future mural for the community to pay to
paint, $15 each. It made everyone SO happy, and we made almost $1,000
profit. This could be a way to start the colorful process and raise some
funds.

ARTISTS 

 	* You need to match up the style of mural you want with an artist who
paints in that style.
 	* Find an artist by posting an RFQ or RFP to receive submissions or
directly contact artists whose style is what you're looking for.
 	* The City of Oklahoma City has a pre-qualified artist pool, which is
helpful, but I wouldn't limit yourself to those.
 	* You can see TONS of murals styles on the Plaza Walls in the Plaza
District in OKC. A contact is Kristopher Kanaly, who founded the
Oklahoma Mural Syndicate. He is a mural artist and knows who is easy to
work with and he MIGHT tell you who to stay away from. Or look for
murals in other local towns to see what you'd like or who you'd like to
hire.

CONTRACTS 

 	* Please have an attorney look over contracts. Some blank versions of
ours are attached.
 	* Artist Contract - make sure expectations, payments, a deadline and
what is (and is not) included in the cost is spelled out.
 	* Maintenance Plan - this could be different for each circumstance.
 	* Property Owner Agreement - including permission to paint their wall
and what's expected of them, including access to the wall
 	* VARA Waiver - if the mural is damaged and you can't get the artist
to make repairs, this allows you to make necessary repairs. This is one
of the things I learned from taking Robbie Kienzle's mural training in
OKC. The training is very specific to the City of Oklahoma City
requirements and permitting, but very informative.

MISC 

 	* As a preservation-based organization, please don't paint a mural on
UNpainted brick.
 	* If possible, take pictures of each paint can in case you need to buy
some touch-up paint in the future.
 	* Murals should last around 15 years, and at that point it can become
a ghost mural, you can paint over it or re-paint it.
 	* People take LOTS of pictures in front of bright, colorful, fun
murals, and not as many in front of traditional, historic ones.

Please let me know if other info would be helpful!

Hello, Main Streeters!

A few asked about planning murals, so here are things I've experienced and learned.

Funding

*	Murals cost around $10-20 per square foot. This can really add up, but you might be able to negotiate the price down if you can provide the scaffolding or lift, prep and prime the wall, etc., to take some time and cost off of the mural artist.
*	We have the building owner contribute at least $1,000 since we're making their building a tourist attraction. They should also add lighting.
*	We also use some of our mural program funds and get other sponsors, usually $1,000  $1,500 each - or you could crowdfund with ioby or gofundme, etc.
*	The City of Enid has an Art in Public Places ordinance and funds (I can explain this separately) but we have NOT used this funding for any murals so far. I probably will, though.
*	I designed the Bright Future mural for the community to pay to paint, $15 each. It made everyone SO happy, and we made almost $1,000 profit. This could be a way to start the colorful process and raise some funds.

Artists

*	You need to match up the style of mural you want with an artist who paints in that style.
*	Find an artist by posting an RFQ or RFP to receive submissions or directly contact artists whose style is what you're looking for.
*	The City of Oklahoma City has a pre-qualified artist pool, which is helpful, but I wouldn't limit yourself to those.
*	You can see TONS of murals styles on the Plaza Walls in the Plaza District in OKC. A contact is Kristopher Kanaly, who founded the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate. He is a mural artist and knows who is easy to work with and he MIGHT tell you who to stay away from. Or look for murals in other local towns to see what you'd like or who you'd like to hire.

Contracts

*	Please have an attorney look over contracts. Some blank versions of ours are attached.
*	Artist Contract - make sure expectations, payments, a deadline and what is (and is not) included in the cost is spelled out.
*	Maintenance Plan - this could be different for each circumstance.
*	Property Owner Agreement - including permission to paint their wall and what's expected of them, including access to the wall
*	VARA Waiver - if the mural is damaged and you can't get the artist to make repairs, this allows you to make necessary repairs. This is one of the things I learned from taking Robbie Kienzle's mural training in OKC. The training is very specific to the City of Oklahoma City requirements and permitting, but very informative.

Misc

 

*	As a preservation-based organization, please don't paint a mural on UNpainted brick.
*	If possible, take pictures of each paint can in case you need to buy some touch-up paint in the future.
*	Murals should last around 15 years, and at that point it can become a ghost mural, you can paint over it or re-paint it.
*	People take LOTS of pictures in front of bright, colorful, fun murals, and not as many in front of traditional, historic ones.

 

Please let me know if other info would be helpful!

Kelly and Fellow Main Street peeps,
Alva has over 28 murals all around town. These have been done by contract artists and local artists. A key issue to remember is sustainability and maintenance over the long term!
Thanks!
