HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09152015 - C.37RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and Authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to apply for and accept funding in the amount of
$9,500 from the California State Arts Council for the Veterans Initiative in the Arts program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
County will receive $9,500. No County match.
BACKGROUND:
The Veterans Initiative in the Arts (VIA) program is rooted in the California Arts Council’s (CAC) desire to launch a
competitive grant which would address the needs and improve the lives of California's veterans, active military, and
their families through quality arts programming. In this pilot year of the program, VIA will serve as an extension of
the State-Local Partnership Program (SLPP), a signature California Arts Counil grant program fostering community
development through the arts at the county level. The VIA program addresses equity, access, and opportunity by
providing project and partnership support for State-Local Partners (SLPs) to reach veterans, active military, and their
families. VIA serves to enrich the lives of veterans through arts programming that is sensitive and responsive to their
unique experiences.
