Discussion
The Carlsbad Friends of the Arts is a non-profit, community-based organization, founded in
1987 with the mission to support cultural arts programs and activities in the City of Carlsbad.
The Friends raise funds through opportunity drawings conducted at the TGIF concerts,
advertisements in a souvenir program distributed at the concerts and through their
membership program. The donation will support ongoing cultural arts programs and TGIF
operational services such as shuttle buses, porta-toilets, truck rentals, trash and recycling
services, and supplies at the concerts. A letter of appreciation will be sent on behalf of the City
of Carlsbad and the Library & Cultural Arts Department to acknowledge the ongoing support
from the Friends ofthe Arts in championing cultural arts programming.
Fiscal Analysis
The donation from the Carlsbad Friends of the Arts will provide partial funding for
Cultural Arts Office programs and the TGIF Concerts in the Parks concert series,
which is regularly funded, in part, by donations.
Next Steps
Per the adopted resolution, the City of Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts Department will apply
these funds as stated above to support the identified programs and services.
