We are no longer receiving city funding and funding was not earmarked for Art in the Village, the event that would benefit from the Special Opportunities Mini-Grant. 20th Annual Art in the Village Art in the Village is an open-air fine art event showcasing the artwork of 100+ juried artists, in addition to offering interactive art demonstrations, several live music acts and theater performances. Sunday,August 12,2018 9am to 5pm 500 5000 What makes this project distinctive? What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? This is the 20th Annual Art in the Village. CVA has been celebrating the artwork of local and regional artists for 20 years and has grown the event to be one highlighting fine art. Being our 20th anniversary, the City of Carlsbad has graciously offered us the use of their professional stage. This year, because we have an actual stage, our goal is to elevate our musical offerings from simply solo performers to three and four piece bands, playing jazz, latin, blues, swing, and contemporary music as well. Our goal is to offer "placemaking" in the Village during this event through the use of the stage and musical performances. Our goal is to increase attendance to this event, and in turn the Village, and being able to highlight a better musical experience this year will help with that goal. Are there any partners participating in your No project? This would include non-staff artists, personnel or organizations other than the applicant who are an integral part of the project.
