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.
