12:00 PM - Public Communication: General
Ann Ciccolella- The time has come to explore creating an Arts & Culture Department that does not report directly to Economic Development. Currently we are facing drastic changes in the way artists and arts groups are evaluated that doesn't consider artistic quality or service provided to the community, only DEI. And even the DEI criteria are not used effectively in judging applications for who gets funded. Many of us in the arts community have been pushing for an examination of why policies were changed so radically. When City Council last year asked questions of the Cultural Arts Division staff, answers were never provided, and there was no follow up. The consequences of this are widespread and devastating to many long-term arts organizations and individual artists.
Craig Bryant- I want to show a time lapse video that I've recently finished of the growth of downtown Austin that begins on January 2, 2007 and ends January 1, 2023. The theme of this video is that it all happens over one day starting with sunrise and ends with the fireworks on 1/1/23. The length of the video is 2 minutes 48 seconds and I do not plan to go over the 3 minutes allotted.
Ethan Smith- HealthSouth RFP ... is there a public-private partnership possible with UT and AspenHeights for student housing?? Compare efficacy, process, and "public benefit" of student housing vs. what is yielded through recent city processes.
Jeannie Ramirez- Music Commission Rules - SXSW
Raul Alvarez - Reclaiming Community Values: Valuing Public Input; Honoring Community Voice; Achieving a Better Balancing of Interests on Development; Keeping Your Promises
Mirna Rodriguez - Hablar ridente
Irene Hernandez - Sobre el clima
Piper LeMoine- Upcoming Cultural Arts Elevate grant program
Jesus Marez- The homeless issues, traffic, police, gentrification
Dewy Brooks- Cultural Funding
