In 2023, as stated in the Commission’s Annual Report, the Commission “assisted People Made Visible in organizing the Arteculture event at Kindred Coffee.” In years prior, the Commission organized the event. At the request of Commissioners, the item was requested to be revisited and formally presented as an action item as to whether the Commission should proceed with organizing the Exhibit once again. MOTION PROPOSED: The Commission may motion to proceed with requesting prior approval to organize the “Arteculture” exhibit. The Commission's staff liaison will then request clarification from the City Administrator regarding whether approval from the City Council or an appropriate City Council Standing Committee is required. Additionally, if required, the Commission should request adequate funding or necessary City staff resources. • Proceed with seeking prior approval to proceed with organizing the Arteculture initiative in 2024.
