13 <br /> <br />• Artists & Arts Orgs <br />• OCAC: Provide a Strong Foundation <br />#3 Connect the arts community. <br />• Unite the arts community through events and collaborative programs <br />#4 Promote the arts <br /> <br />• Serve as a one-stop source of information for anything arts related in Orange County. <br />Promote the arts of Orange County through traditional and media sources. <br />#5 Find more financial support for the arts. <br />• Identify a new public source of funding designated for the arts, similar to other Public <br />Arts Commissions. (UNC Capstone) <br />• New funds will allow new programs, better organizational support and support for <br />(future) arts infrastructure. <br /> <br />OUR GOAL <br />Local Arts Agencies: <br />The Foundation of a Strong Arts Community <br /> Primary granting agency for the arts <br />o Offers arts programming <br />o Ensures arts accessibility and engagement <br />o Provides artists and organizations support <br />o Manages public arts programs <br /> Supports, advances, and unites arts community <br /> Manages cultural arts facilities <br /> Serves as a leader in community cultural planning <br /> Advocates on behalf of the arts community <br /> Develops partnerships within community <br /> <br />WHAT TO REMEMBER <br />The Arts Mean Business! <br />More investment = more tourism, spending, jobs, and government revenue! <br /> <br />Commissioner McKee asked if there could be clarification regarding the wording, <br />“identify a new public source of funding.” <br />Katie Murray said most public arts commissions are funded through an allotment for the <br />arts, for example Raleigh has a $5 allotment per capita and Cary has a $1 allotment; or <br />through an admission tax or a sin tax (cigarettes, soda, etc.). She said the Orange County <br />budget is solely funded by the occupancy tax, and other options are being researched. She <br />said the current budget is about $20,000, after grant funds and personnel expenses, which is <br />not much with which to work. <br />Council Member Oates asked if the Town were to find space would there be County <br />funds to help. <br />Katie Murray said she cannot answer that at this time, but in her opinion for an arts <br />facility to be recognized as a truly countywide facility, it needs to be outside the bounds of the <br />municipalities. She said it also unlikely that any of the towns have space large enough to <br />accommodate the needs of such a facility. <br />Council Member Parker said he would like to compare Orange County/Chapel Hill with <br />its peer cities regarding arts budgets. He said it seems like there is a lot of bang for very little <br />money here, but he would like to know what other areas are spending on the arts.
