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

If so, consider attending the next meeting of the Commission on
Cultural Affairs, Mon., June 9, 5 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 p.m. and may last
several hours.  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 though the dinner
hour.

Public comment does not occur at the meeting -  if you attend, you will
be an observer only.  No organization is allowed to “testify” or
lobby out of fairness to all applicants. The Commission’s July 14
meeting will include an opportunity for your organization to make public
comment (contact the OCA for location).
