PCPA Workshop Agenda request

RBNYENTING THE ARTS COMMUNITY 3 31 21.pdf
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council and City Staff,
The Agenda Report for the PCPA Workshop prepared by City Staff is an
exceptional briefing that reflects the mutual goals of both the City and the
Community in determining a path toward PCPA fiscal resiliency. As community
members of the PCPA ad hoc committee formed in July 2020, we are extremely
pleased to see the results of user group surveys, operational and cost benefit
discussions, and use policy ideas presented in this document that reflect our
joint collaboration.
Since the summer of 2020, our continued in-depth conversations with
community user groups and community members have, over time,
progressively promoted the concept of developing a community-created Arts
Council of Poway. Some examples of city or regional arts councils, including
the Arts Council for Long Beach or the Edmonton Arts Council, show the value
of a community-based non-profit arts entity.
The Arts Council of Poway would be founded on the primary concept of
fundraising for the PCPA operations and capital improvements, and
representing the regional arts community to the City. Additionally, it would
grow to solicit grants, extend marketing of events, support local artists and arts
organizations, and build business partnerships to strengthen our community.
We would like to present this community-created Arts Council as a
supplemental option to Agenda Item 9, in the Arts Advisory Committee Concept
and Decision Point section, via the attached viewgraph slides. Our 10-mlnute
overview is important for the council to hear in order to make the most
informed decision. Respectively, a new question would be added in the
Summary of PCPA Decision Points, at the end of the agenda item "Fundraising":
"Does the City Council want the community members presenting this
evening to pursue the creation of a Community non-profit organization -the
Arts Council of Poway, which will fundraise to support the operations and capital
improvements for the PCPA, and will support the arts in Poway and the region?"
Our sincerest thanks and appreciation for the demonstrated hard work and
commitment shown by the City Council members and City Staff in preparing for
th ls PCPA workshop -
Janet Lettang, Jana Johnson, and Katherine Hirsch
