During its first meeting in January, the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission did not officially conduct business, it was more of a briefing session by city staff on what the organization is expected to handle.  In the body’s second session held Tuesday night, members voted to install David Decker as its first Chairman.  Cecilia Coble was elected as Vice Chair.

The commission was briefed by staff on a number of issues.  There were two items from the Fishers Parks and Recreation Department worth noting.

First, the Farmer’s Market held outside at the Amphitheater will run from May to the end of October in 2019.  After October, the Farmer’s Market will move inside to the Holland Park shelter house November and December.  Parks officials say the attendance at the indoor Farmer’s Markets dropped off dramatically after Christmas, resulting in the schedule change.

Second, the Amphitheater will host three Saturday night concerts aimed at music fans in their 20s.  The events are expected to be scheduled in mid to late summer.  The acts that will perform have not yet been announced, and no specific dates have been announced.

The next meeting of the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission will be May 14th.
