Minutes of a meeting of the Eye Level Gallery Board of Directors

Item is handwritten set of minutes of the second meeting of the Board of Directors of Eye Level Gallery, held at an unknown location on November 28, 1974. Present members were John Greer, David Haigh, Karl MacKeeman, Julia Schmitt Healy, and Roger Savage. The lack of any non-artists meant the board did not have quorum according to the rules outlined in the minutes of the first meeting. Nevertheless, the board had a full meeting and made a number of decisions, including the approval of a Michael Fernandes show in January 1975. The board also expressed hope that the Nova Scotia Department of Recreation would "help solve" a budget deficit by providing funds. The membership's early interest in the documentation of the gallery's activities are reflected in the board's decision to photograph each show but not provide an honorarium to photographers.

Minutes of a meeting of the Eye Level Gallery Board of Directors

Item is a typed set of minutes from a meeting the Eye Level Gallery Board of Directors held on January 30, 1975. Members present included John Greer, Karl MacKeeman, Hatti Prentiss, Joyce Hanson, Julia Healy and Roger Savage. The meeting was mainly regarding future exhibition work at the gallery space. Michael Fernandes' show was discussed in terms that the artist would account for the $150 advertising and opening fee. Board members should also have the possibility of having an exhibition at the Eye Level when they are a member of the Board. The members voted on seven potential shows to have at the gallery, which included shows by Jeanne Arsenault, Karl McKeeman, Ken Curran, Ron Shuebrook, and Roger Savage. It was decided that a letter was to be sent to Mary Kenny requesting her to fulfil her obligations as a board member, a later decision would be made regarding her resignation.

Minutes of a meeting of the Eye Level Gallery Board of Directors

Item is typescript set of minutes of the first meeting of the Board of Directors of Eye Level Gallery, held at Pier One Theatre on October 24, 1974. Roger Savage was elected chairperson, Julia Schmitt Healy was elected secretary, and Keith Laws was elected treasurer. The decisions made at this meeting demonstrate the artists' forced struggle to manage the administrative and commercial aspects of operating an alternative gallery. The board decided that Healy would fill the salaried position of gallery coordinator even though she was also a sitting board member. The board also ensured that the artists on the board had more voting power than the non-artists who were there primarily to provide guidance on the administration of the gallery. But, in an effort to avoid conflicts regarding programming, the board also decided to make sitting members ineligible for one-person shows.

In terms of the commercial aspects of the gallery, the board decided that the gallery priorities "would be to exhibit innovative work not necessarily "saluble" work." The board also decided that "sales would be encouraged" and that they might "mount a membership auction of artwork." The board approved a Christmas-time show called "50 bucks and under" to provide an opportunity for members to sell works that would be affordable to consumers who might be shopping for Christmas presents. These decisions reflect an effort to balance the financial needs of members of the Eye Level Gallery Society with the membership's concerns regarding the commercialism of the mainstream art world.
