Acceptance of a Grant from 4Culture, in the Amount of $72,000, for Cultural Arts Programming
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
City staff is seeking approval from City Council to authorize the Mayor to accept a 4Culture Grant Contract in the amount of $72,000 for use in funding Cultural Arts projects, including the sixth annual Public Art Intensive Eastside workshop and the temporary public art exhibit at the third annual Downtown Redmond Art Walk. This grant has historically awarded funds between $15,000 - $18,000, but due to the launch of Doors Open, 4Culture was able to increase grant amounts for all of their grant programs.
