Mission: The Carlsbad Arts Office plans, develops and promotes the visual and performing arts Carisbad to create a climate which encourages artistic development. The Organization: Carlsbad was the first city in San Diego County to establish an Arts Office, an Arts Commission and a % for Public Art program. A municipal agency, the Arts Office was municipal agency, the Arts Office operates on a zero-based annual budget and reports quarterly City Council on stated Goals and Objectives achieved. The total budget increased from $50,00( in 1986 to $281,000 in FY 1994-95. Although during the recent recession the Arts Office received proportional cuts along with all departments, the City Council continues to positively support the overall arts programs and additional fbnding has been contributed from private sources. The Arts Office employs 3 €dl-time and 1 part-time permanent stafF and several part- time temporary employees for special activities. The Community: Carlsbad is located about 35 miles north of the City of San Diego on the Southern California coast. The City covers 42 square miles and experiences one of the nation's fastest growth rates: the population doubled between 1980 and 1990 and is projected to reach 135,000 by 2020. Latino and other minority residents currently comprise 18% of the populatio culturally specific populations are projected to increase to 30% of build-out population. The student population in Carlsbad schools is currently 30% culturally specific. Seniors make up 2: of Carlsbad's population. Industries in the area include 24 hotels offering 1884 rooms for touri! an auto dealerships park, a major regional shopping mall, electronics, aerospace, golf apparel ar equipment manufacturing and numerous land developers. Community Input: The Arts Office planning process is ongoing. The recommendations of th 1990 Cultural Plan conducted by The Wolf Organization have been reviewed by Task Forces ir Programs, Facilities, Art in Public Places and Arts Education. Input is also obtained from the Arts Round Tables (a group of artists and arts organizations), Carlsbad Arts Associates (a priv: non-profit support group), panel reviews and project evaluations, public testimony before the P Commission and continuous outreach, collaboration and consultation with community agencies service organizations and businesses. The rapid growth of Carlsbad has raised issues about ha Carlsbad should develop culturally. These needs are addressed in the newly revised Arts Elemi of the General Plan, the Cultural Plan, the Task Forces' recommendations to City Council and 1 Grants Panel's annual recommendations to the Arts Commission. In response to the rapid grol the City is committed to maintaining the high quality of life to which residents were accustome The Artistic Community: No public museums or galleries, professional arts organizations or major educational institutions exist within the city. The rapid population growth has not been matched by development of cultural facilities and resources; thus local opportunities for arts PartGpmts md consumers are severely kted. The Arts Office role in the community is to ac as a catalyst. As a small office, we are interested in helping and guiding the community to develop the arts, empowering community-based arts rather than becoming a large government entity. established by City Ordinance and an Arts Element amendment to the General Plan in 1985.

(AlsocompleteCity Su Budget form.) 1. Summarize request in two lines: The Carlsbad Arts ofsce requests $15,000 to develop a permanent Sculpture Garden at the Arts office, to crei the first publis gallery in the North Coast area for the exhibit of works by local artists. 2 Document the impact of the previous year's funding, if applicable. 3. Describe the cultural planning process or other data on which the proposal is based. 4. Describe the request as it relates to thecriteria for funding and programmatic accessibility, including youragency's track of effective programs and services, commitment to cultural diversity, managerial/ fiscal competence and the quality proposal (the need for the project, the proposed impact and the ability to complete the project). 5. Describe the County Partner collaboration. The Proposal: The Carlsbad Arts office's most valuable contribution to the establishment and growth community-wide cultural services, successfi~I local organizations and assistance to local artists is the abilit~ creates a much-needed asset for San Diego's North Coastal County. The Community Cultural Plan and the 1 Commission Strategic Plan both emphasize the lack of facilities for the arts and the need to develop these fa& for a growing population. Galleries and other exhibit sites are particularly limited, and no public gallerie museums exist in the area. The Arts office developed plans for the proposed Sculpture Garden some time ag response to these needs; it is the logical next step in the growth of the solidly established Temporary kt Exl program. By using the back yard of the Arts office, a 7500 square foot area immediately adjacent to Carlsbad 1 Hall and Carlsbad Library, the Sculpture Garden is accessible to 1500 current daily users, including hundred children each day. The proposal will enable the Arts OBice to present professionally curated shows, and the offers security for the works displayed. However, Commission and staff have been unable to proceed with project until certain improvements to the facility were made. Americans with Disabilities Act requirements government facilities called for upgraded bathrooms and other access improvements. After several years of but constraints, in order for the Arts office to proceed the Community Services Department of the City will con funds to make these ADA improve ments in 1997-98; these funds will be used to meet the grant matcl: requirements. The City Landscape Architect will also contribute effort and materials to the Sculpture Gar Grant hds will be used to prepare, program and promote the Sculpture Garden, including placement oi concrete support pads, insurance, publicity materials and to curate the first six-month show. Need and Impact: Arts Mce programs are consistently based on identified cofntnunty needs. These determined through the Cultural Plan, the Arts Element of the General Plan, the Arts office Strategic Plan ongoing community planning process involving a variety of agencies and individuals identifed elsewhere in application, and the annual Goals and Objectives set by City Council. Arts Commission and Arts office routinely scrutinize and prioritize programs and resources. The result of this planning is that current and prop programs are regarded as the highest-ranked needs for the community's cultural well-being. The need of local artists for exhibit opportunities is substantial. More than 75 new artists have submitted work consideration in Temporary Art Exhibits (TAE) since 1995, joining a registry of several hundred artists. ' participation involved no recompense or commission before July installation and removal. Currently, sel artists receive a $350 honorarium. Artists/works are selected by a professionalfcommunity panel. Sites are lo on both public and privately owned property. provide leadership and resources. The project proposed for funding through the State-Local Partnership Prop 10 a 0 CITY SUPPORT, PAGE 10.A Ability to Complete the Project: The Arts Office staff has ten years' experience in Carlsbad public art projects and indoor/outdoc temporary exhibits. The roster of regional artists, the development of informed communi selection panels, the partnership with the Carlsbad Arts Associates and the in-house informatil services all contribute tu the ability to create, manage and promote the Sculpture Garden. T new Carlsbad Library is planned for completion by 2000, including North Coast's first municil gallery, managed by the Arts Office. The Sculpture Garden will provide an opportunity develop and train a docents group in advance of the Gallery opening and to introduce the pub to a variety of local artists and arts programming. The Sculpture Garden offers interactj opportunities with other Arts Office and community-based programs lie Summer Arts Can school art classes and field trips, Artists-in-Residence, Community Grant projects, and YES 1 ART; Visiting Artists, By Kids For Kids Dance Festival and other performers can also use t Sculpture Garden as a presenting site. Relevance to the Cultural Plan: Among its 46 specific recommendations, the Plan calls increased local opportunities for arts participation, in response to the survey of Carlsl residents, which documents that the greatest hindrance to participation is lack of local activii (77%) and lack of time (65%). Attending public museums and galleries requires driving to 5 Diego (70 miles round trip) or Escondido (50 miles round trip). Nevertheless, 41% of Carlsba general population attends museums and galleries annually and 34% of attendees at arts eve and exhibits bring children in the attending party. The Sculpture Garden will be free to the pu€ and easily available for school and family attendance, addressing all these issues of participati Other recommendations in the Plan include working to incorporate cultural components i planned facilities development; and developing exhibit & performing spaces in the Carls Village area, where the Sculpture Garden, as part of the City Hall complex, will be located. ' Arts Associates have also voted to support the project, giving it highest priority in their anr planning workshop.
