Consider a resolution approving American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Agreement No. 16565, between the City of Lubbock and Lubbock Experience, Inc., d/b/a Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation, for administration of ARPA funds to be granted to qualified applicants in the cultural and arts sectors.
Item Summary
The City of Lubbock has allocated $1,000,000 in Capital Project 8672, Arts Grants-ARPA, for the development, marketing and administration of a funding program due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the cultural and arts sectors within the City of Lubbock. Lubbock Experience, Inc., d/b/a Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation, will be responsible for identifying and selecting businesses, nonprofits, entities, organizations, individuals and other qualifying sub-recipients to receive Arts Grants- American Rescue Plan funding.
Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation (LCAF), will administer two grant programs for the benefit of the cultural and arts sectors; the Arts Business Grant Program and the Independent Artist Grant Program. Arts Business Grants will be based upon the organization's lost income between 2019 and 2020, but will not exceed $25,000 per organization. The Independent Artist Program will provide $5,000 for part-time artists and $10,000 for full-time artists. LCAF will use a grant management software to track applicants, securely store grant information, and coordinate with other APRA grant making entities to avoid duplication of efforts. The Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation will forward all appropriate information to the City for consideration and payment to those applicants meeting the criteria established for funding.
The City agrees to convey to the Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation 5% of the ARPA grant funds, an amount not to exceed $50,000, for administration of the arts grant program. The term of this Agreement commences on the effective date and continues without interruption through December 1, 2024, or upon completion of the services.
