Office of Cultural Affairs Updates...

Missouri Arts Council Input.....Learn about the Missouri Arts Council's strategic plan, the result of feedback received from citizens and organizations in 2002. Norree Boyd, MAC's executive director, will be in Columbia to present the plan on Mon., Sept. 8, 5:00 p.m. in the mezzanine conference room of City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. Arts organizations, arts supporters & the general public are encouraged to attend.   

Small Request Funding.....next month marks the beginning of the first quarter of OCA's fiscal year. This means that the Commission on Cultural Affairs will be evaluating Small Request applications received by September 10th for events and activities occurring in October, November and December. Requests may be for up to $500 and must follow the below-listed guidelines (contact the OCA for a complete listing). Contact the OCA for an application form and guidelines, 573-874-6386.
* Funding is limited to one request per project. If a project is funded in the regular funding cycle it is not eligible for the Small Request category. Multiple projects from the same agency are allowed.
* Funds are available to agencies with annual budgets of no more than $500,000 and only to arts agencies.  Collaborations are allowed, but only with an arts agency with 501-C-3 status as the lead applicant.
* OCA does not fund capital outlay or perishable items.

Annual Arts Organization Funding.....by the end of October, City Council will authorize contracts with the local arts organizations that will receive funding through the OCA's annual process. The contracts will then have to be processed by the City Clerk and the City Manager will have to sign them. The OCA will receive the contracts after that and will send them out immediately; hopefully by October 31st. Organizations will need to return signed contracts and any other supporting materials that are requested before payments can be made. Questions?  Call 573-874-6386.
