FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CULTURE AND ARTS
The City Council hereby recognizes the importance of promoting culture and the
arts within the City of Newport Beach. A number of individuals and groups have
been organized with the express purpose of developing and promoting culture,
theatre and the arts.
The City would complement these efforts by establishing a Reserve Fund for
Culture and Arts that can be used for a) developing a master plan for the
promotion of culture and arts; b) acquiring land and/or the construction of
facilities to promote culture and arts and; c) instituting other cultural promotion
projects.
The sum of $55,000 shall be provided each year for specific cultural or artistic planning,
promotion and/or construction projects as approved by the City Council. It is the
policy of the City of Newport Beach that expenditures from the reserve fund should
be matched equally by the community in the form of contributions and donations.
In regard to the City's role in financially sponsoring art and cultural events, the
City Arts Commission shall review all programs and requests for support from arts
groups. The Commission shall forward its recommendations for funding to the City
Council for final approval. Any appropriation shall not exceed 50% of the Arts
Commissions' annual budget. For the purpose of this policy, arts groups shall be
defined as those involved in visual, musical, theatre, dance, crafts, performing and
literary activities.
The following priorities shall be considered by the Commission. The order of
preference for granting support shall be as follows:
A. Local arts groups located within the City and offering programs to City
residents;
B. Regional arts groups located in Orange County and offering programs to
City residents; and
C. Arts groups located in California and performing or offering programs to City
residents.
Groups not offering programs or services to local residents shall not be eligible
for support from the City.
