DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Chairwoman Erin Hannigan recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution approving the application to the California Arts Council, by the Solano County Arts Council, requesting a FY2019/20 State-Local Partnership Program grant for promoting art in Solano County; and Authorize the Solano County Arts Council to execute the grant if awarded.
SUMMARY:
The California Arts Council and the California Legislature established a State-Local Partnership Program in 1977 designed to encourage local cultural planning and decision-making and to reach previously under-served constituents. The Solano Arts Council (SCAC) is an all-volunteer organization whose mission is to bring pride and artistic experiences directly to Solano County through programs and resources that enable people to create, present, produce, teach, and learn.
There are several Grants that the California Arts Council has available for groups. The Solano Arts Council is applying for the State-Local Partnership (SLP) grant for the FY2019/20 grant year. The SLP grant is a special grant that is designed and available for County Arts Councils in California. Solano County Arts Council has been working with California Arts Council, Solano Art Groups, Artists and the Solano Community for over 50 years. They work with all Solano communities and many projects depend on sponsorship.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the department's FY2018/19 Adopted Budget.
