EXHIBIT “A” SCOPE OF SERVICES
As one of the many programs to support artists and arts organizations in Carlsbad, the Community Arts Grants program funds quality arts and cultural programming and organizational
support within Carlsbad. This amendment will allow the City to continue to support the awarded Grantees through extending the timeline and amending the initial project. Background: In November 2019, the Community Arts Grant 2020 (CAG2020) proposals were reviewed by a peer panel consisting of local and regional artists and arts professionals. In December 2019, the Arts Commission reviewed the Grantee recipients and approved the final list. Subsequently, the City entered into individual agreements with each approved Grantees.
On March 19, 2020, the California Governor issued a statewide order for Californians to stay at home to slow the spread of nationwide COVID-19 pandemic. The statewide order began impacting CAG2020 Grantee's ability to fulfill its original project by excluding all in-person projects and events. These challenges created obstacles for the Grantees to achieve their original plan. In the spirit of the Community Arts Grant program, City staff proposed an amendment to the
CAG2020 program allowing flexibility in program deliverables/projects. To better serve local arts organizations, schools, and artists during COVID-19, on May 7, 2020, the Arts Commission approved changes to the Community Arts Grants 2020 which are now published in the
Community Arts Grants Guidelines – 2020 COVID-19 Addendum, dated 5/21/2020 "Exhibit B."
Amendment purpose The purpose of this amendment is to amend and extend Community Arts Grants 2020 agreements to allow reasonable adaptations of a previously funded project due to COVID-19 pandemic related health and safety regulations, requirements, and recommendations made by government agencies, school districts, and organizational policies.
Amendment timeline
Amendment will extend the existing allocated grant funding for one (1) year, expiring on June 30, 2021. Projects may be completed at any time before this date, and Final Reports are due within thirty (30) days of completion of the project, or July 30, 2021, whichever comes first.
Project transparency By temporarily expanding project eligibility with this amendment, the City's Cultural Arts Manager or designee will work with Grantee to validate a suitable project that meets the original
intent of the grant. Any changes, whether planned or unanticipated, to funded projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic (including, but not limited to, stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures) must be submitted to City in writing by no later than December 31, 2020. Potential
replacement project(s) will be reviewed, and the City's Cultural Arts Manager or designee will respond no later than two (2) weeks of receiving Grantee's proposal. Any project changes will continue to adhere to the City’s Community Arts Grants 2020 Guidelines provided with the original executed agreement and the newly developed Community Arts Grants Guidelines – 2020 COVID-19 Addendum "Exhibit B." Funding
All grant funding will remain consistent with what was outlined in the awarded CAG2020 agreement.

Provide a brief example of a similar recent
project by you or your organization and why it
was successful.
What makes the project distinctive?
What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes}
of the project? How will you measure your
goals?
In spring 2019, I took my intermediate and
advanced students to work in plein air on the
trails around campus. We received a grant
from the city for this project and were excited
to see it in action. As a second year project,
we figured out better pacing, materials and
logistics. At the end of the workshop, students
created unique paintings of art demonstrating
learned skills in this traditional approach. All
of the paintings were on display at our annual
Festival of the Arts and two pieces sold to
local residents. However, more than that, art
students gained a greater appreciation for the
arts and were proud of their accomplishments.
Most art instruction at SCHS is inside the
classroom. This project allows students to
leave the walls of their classroom behind to
experience and interpret nature. Painting
alongside a professional, working artist helps
them in their creative approach and learned
techniques. After surveying students last year,
all participating students said working outside
at this level was the best part of the
experience.
Students will learn about the traditional Plein
Air approach and effectively use the materials
provided. They will create studies and produce
a series of sketches-measured by informal
observations of painting process
Students will gain an appreciation of nature
and their local community. They will also
research and respond to a local environmental
organization -measured by informal
observations and workshop reflection
Students will create an original work of
landscape/seascape art in a set Carlsbad
location -measured by completed painting as
it demonstrates increased skill
Students will present their works to a large
audience -measured by the display of each
students' painting in the art show at the
Festival of the Arts (April 2020)
Who is your target population and why? How
will you reach them?
The project is twofold. The target population
consists of students enrolled in Art 3;
intermediate and advanced students in grades
10-12 at Sage Creek High School. The other
population includes the participants at the
festival. We hope to spread the word about
community arts support and programs through
social media and the festival.

individuals that are involved in your project but
are not employed or affiliated with the applying
organization?
