Flagstaff Arts Council – Annual Update
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Council to hear a presentation by the Flagstaff Arts Council (FAC) Director, discuss, and provide feedback as warranted.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Flagstaff contracts with the FAC to provide services for the arts, science, and culture segments of the community. Funded by local tax dollars generated by the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, and bars), it serves as a lead agency in the administration of grants to arts, science, and culture organizations and projects.
Annually, the FAC reports to the City Council regarding their enterprises under the contract. This year's update will include information about managing the Coconino Center for the Arts, current programs, and the recently launched strategic planning effort for arts in Flagstaff.
This year, $360,000 was granted to 43 organizations and projects. By contract, the FAC also receives 15% percent of the grant amount for managing the funding process and an additional $35,000 for acting as the local arts, culture, and science agency in the community.
