Information
Referral History:
In Fiscal Year 2018-19, the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5) commissioned the execution of an
Arts and Culture Plan Prospectus
. The desired outcomes of the Prospectus is to increase engagement, outreach, community awareness and awareness of County Arts resources; conduct a community evaluation; and develop a set of policy recommendations through community partners for countywide cultural development.
At the February 2020 AC5 monthly meeting, AC5 commissioners discussed a community and advocacy need for an updated
Arts and Culture Plan
. At this meeting, the Commission approved submitting a request to the Board of Supervisors to engage the Family and Human Services Committee to seek support of a new countywide
Arts and Culture Plan
.
On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee discussion for the pursuit of a
new Countywide Arts and Culture Plan
in Fiscal Year 2020-2021, as recommended by the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5). As a result, Cultural Plan Prospectus is Referral No. 121 of the Family and Human Services Committee.
Referral Update:
Calls for racial equity and social justice in a time of a historical pandemic, delayed and highlighted the need to recalibrate the Cultural Planning Prospectus to meet community and fiscal needs. Requests for district art projects along with Contra County County government and organization collaborations increased. The Arts and Culture Commission’s new request shifts to a community action plan highlighting the value of art by creating an updated Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County that identifies a district art project.
From July 2021 to June 2022, the Arts and Culture Commission will identify community stakeholders, facilitate two workshops, and present an updated Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County and District Art Project at the Board of Supervisors. Overall guiding principles will be to increase engagement, outreach, community awareness, highlight art resources, and conduct a community evaluation.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER accepting or modifying the
Arts & Culture Plan Prospectus for Contra Costa County
that identifies a district art project, and forwarding to the Board of Supervisors for their approval.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
There is no fiscal impact.
