RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve acceptance of the attached Budget Amendment
Ordinance (BAO) accepting a $5,407 matching grant from the Arts Council Silicon Valley,
Organizational Enhancement Fund into the 1999-2000 Arts and Culture Division’s/Visual
Arts major activity budget for exhibitions and education programs at the Palo Alto Art
Center.
BACKGROUND
Since 1986, the Arts Council of Santa Clara County has awarded grants to the Visual Arts
program in support of exhibition programming at the Art Center. The Arts Council Silicon
Valley grant provides matching funds for exhibitions, equitable artists’ and lecture fees,
outreach and public relations materials, and workshop/studio supplies and materials.
DISCUSSION
This grant is in support of the Art Center’s juried exhibition of local artists, Radius 2000, and
the fall exhibitions, Leslie Lerner: The Imagined City, Steve. Gompf" Televisors & Early
Motion Picture Technologies, and the winter exhibition, Kiff Slemmons: Contemporary
Jewels, as well as related educational programming. This grant has been received by the
Visual Arts program through the Arts Council Silicon Valley PARTNERS program, made
possible in part by the Community Foundation of Santa Clara County. In the current fiscal
year, these funds have been designated for general operating support, with the aim of
providing an ongoing exhibition opportunity for the area’s emerging artists, and continuing
efforts to reach a broad and expanded population. The funds will strengthen the quality and
visibility of the exhibition and education program, and thereby increase the audience for the
visual arts.
