UPDATE ON THE “ARTSPLASH” FESTIVAL
A Brief Overview and History
Artsplash was conceived by Ron Juncal and Phyllis Swanson, artists who operate a
business named Studio 2 in Carlsbad, and Joni Miringoff, Special Events Coordinator for
The Flower Fields, when they met during a Public Roundtable conducted as part of the
Strategic Cultural Plan 2001-2006 for the Arts Office. They were interested in creating an
exciting “street chalk art festival” in Carlsbad, similar to the ones held in Valencia, Santa
Barbara, and Little Italy/San Diego. The festival organizers sought participation from the
Arts Office; staff agreed, believing the festival could be an important event that would
respond to the public’s expressed interest (in the 2000 Citywide Public Opinion Survey)
in having more family-oriented cultural events in Carlsbad.
Subsequently, a wide array of community organization and business representatives
joined the ad hoc Artsplash Committee, including:
-Chamber of Commerce President and GIA executive Gary Hill,
-North County Transit District Planner Phyllis Hall,
-Carlsbad Community Theatre Board Member Bobbie Hoder, and
-local attorney Steven L’Heureux, among others (see attached Committee list).
Meetings began in July 2001 to plan and implement a community-wide festival that
would:
Promote the City of Carlsbad as a cultural destination in the Southern California
region, celebrating its unique assets - seashore, lagoons, flower fields, Museum of
Making Music, Legoland, Gemological Institute - and utilizing community arts
groups and tourism businesses.
Use festival profits to support arts education programs for Carlsbad youth.
The Committee decided that Artsplash should be a free event, with a strong component of
family-oriented, hands-on activities to attract its primary target audience of families.
Because the ad hoc festival committee did not establish itself as an independent not-for-
profit in its first year, the Carlsbad Arts Associates (the organization dedicated to
supporting the activities and programs of the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office)
volunteered to serve as Artsplash’s fiscal agent for this first year of the event. The Arts
Associates would receive donations and pay bills - keeping the monies and account
clearly separate from its usual account.
The Citv’s Involvement
In October, 2001, the Artsplash Committee submitted a mant urouosal for a Communitv
Activities Grant from the City, and was awarded $15,006. As part of that grant, the
Artsplash staff is obligated to state that the festival is “funded in part by the City of
Carlsbad” in all its written materials. In addition, in an effort to help inform and build an
audience for both the Artsplash festival and the City’s 50’ Anniversary Celebration, the
50” Anniversary Team agreed to promote Artsplash as part of the City’s Anniversary
Celebration Events & Programs.
Other City involvement in the Festival includes:
-After receiving a $3,000 grant from the Regional Conservation District of Greater San
Diego County, the Arts Office has organized a series of workshops around the
community, in which children would work with artists to make artworks (of floral
themes) on the street using the chalk art techniques, and with the hope that this type of
hands-on preview would generate excitement in the kids and their families for attending
the upcoming festival.
-The Special Events Committee worked closely with Arts Office staff to assure that
Artsplash was coordinated according to City regulations and policies, and monitored the
development of the Special Event Permit application.
-Some City Police and Streets services are being provided during and after Artsplash and
Arts Office staff continues to assist in organizing, conducting and promoting the event.
