_____________________________________________
ATTENTION  ARTS  ORGANIZATIONS...

Did you submit a funding application to the Office of Cultural Affairs?

If so, consider attending the next meeting of the Commission on Cultural Affairs, Mon., June 14, 5:00 p.m., in the mezzanine conference room of City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. Commissioners will consider the applications and recommend funding.  The meeting is open to the public and is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the process.

As an applicant, you are encouraged to attend so you will know first-hand what is said about your application as well as what recommendations are made.  While the minutes of the meeting will be available after the fact, sitting in on the meeting will prove to be much more informative as you implement your project(s) and as you formulate your ideas for future proposals.

The meeting is a long one...it will start at 5:00 and may last until 10:00 p.m.  You may come and go as you wish, though we recommend you bring a drink, snack or carry-out for dinner if you plan to stay long. The Commission will take few breaks and will work through the dinner hour.  Public comment does not occur at the meeting * you will be an observer only if you attend.  No organization is allowed to "testify" or lobby out of fairness to all applicants.  The Commission's July 12 meeting will include an opportunity for your organization to make public comment (contact the OCA for location).
