OFFICE of CULTURAL AFFAIRS UPDATES...

Upcoming City Arts Funding Deadline! A reminder that the deadline for
our annual arts funding process is upcoming...applications must be in
the OCA by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 4. This is not a postmark deadline
-- if you mail your application, allow additional time for the city’s
mail room to process items after the Post Office does so. Late
applications cannot be considered.

Printing Your City Arts Funding Application...Almost every year we get
at least one frantic call the day that arts funding applications are
due. Since every computer and printer set-up is potentially different
(and since we are not computer experts!), we are generally unable to
assist callers. Please note that there is a link on the arts funding
section of our web site that provides resources for trouble-shooting
printer problems, www.gocolumbiamo.com/Arts/Arts_Funding/index.php. You
are strongly encouraged to access the online funding form and print it
well in advance of the deadline to confirm that your computer set-up
works successfully with it.

Creative Columbia...In 1993, Columbia’s first ever cultural plan was
developed after extensive community consultation. Since then, periodic
updates have been generated to keep the plan current. In 2010, one such
revision is taking place. Make your opinions and suggestions known by
completing a short online survey at www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Arts (look for
the “public input” link at the top of the page). If you prefer to
complete a paper copy of the survey, contact the city’s Office of
Cultural Affairs to have one sent to you: 573-874-6386 or
oca at GoColumbiaMo.com. Surveying will conclude April 30, after which
the Commission on Cultural Affairs will begin work on the revision.

City Commemorative Poster...Missouri artists are invited to submit
their art work for the city’s annual Commemorative Poster competition;
$1,000 honorarium. The postmark deadline is April 9. For the guidelines
and prospectus, go to www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Arts (look for the “artist
opportunity” link at the top of the page).
