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.
Historically, the Carlsbad Friends of the Arts have raised funds through opportunity drawings
conducted at the TGIF concerts, advertisements in a souvenir program distributed at the
concerts and through their membership program. Despite the cancellation of two summer
seasons of the TGIF Concerts in the Parks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, their
commitment to the arts continues with this $25,000 donation.
The Library & Cultural Arts Department will send an appropriate letter of thanks to the Carlsbad
Friends of the Arts for this generous donation.
Fiscal Analysis
These donations will be used to enhance cultural arts programming and activities through the
Library & Cultural Arts Department. Appropriation of these funds will be included in the fiscal
