Title: Approve Public Arts Commission Request to Spend $513.48 from the Commission Budget for Display Boards for Future Art Exhibits RECOMMENDATION:
To approve Public Arts Commission Request to spend $513.48 from the Commission budget for display boards for future art exhibits.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Arts Commission began a quarterly art exhibit at the Cathedral City Library. The event has completed its first two shows, and a third show is scheduled for November. The August show had 87 visitors on Saturday and 65 visitors on Sunday. Each show has been well received and attended.
Vice Chair Travis has been supplying his personal portable display racks to display the art at the library because nothing is permitted to be affixed to the walls at the library. At the September 10, 2024 Public Arts Commission meeting, Vice Chair Travis requested the Public Arts Commission approve a recommendation to fund the purchase of display racks to be used for future gallery exhibitions.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Arts Commission considered this item at their last meeting and recommended it for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the proposed display boards, including shipping is $513.48 and would be funded from the Public Arts Commission’s FY 2023/24 annual budget of $10,000, leaving a remaining balance of $9,486.52.
