Report

Issue:

Discussion on the recent Arts Walk event.

 

Staff Contact:

Stephanie Johnson, Arts Program Manager, Parks, Arts & Recreation, 360.709.2678

 

Presenter(s):

Arts Program Specialist Jessica Strauss Tomy

 

Background and Analysis:

Arts Walk is a bi-annual celebration of the arts in Olympia that takes place the fourth Friday and Saturday in April and the first Friday and Saturday in October. Commissioners will have the opportunity to meet Ms. Strauss Tomy, and recap the most recent Arts Walk event.

 

Climate Analysis:

Discussion about the Arts Walk event will not positively or negatively affect climate and the environment. Event promotion includes information about alternate forms of transportation available to residents who wish to attend the event.

 

Equity Analysis:

Arts Walk is a free community event, open to all. Staff makes special effort to welcome new artists and assist them in finding location for participation be it partnering with a local business or submitting an interest form for the Arts Market.

 

Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):

While a post-event review survey is made available to artist and business participants and the general community, there will not be time for the completed survey to be part of this conversation, with the Arts Commission meeting following Arts Walk by only one week.

 

Options:

Participate in the discussion.

 

Financial Impact:

N/A
