Considering the Arts…
Our City Council is in the Planning Process for the Budget
2014 – 16.
Jonathon Fohrman, Dean of Arts at Mira
Costa College ,
and Vice Chairman for the Arts Commission will be giving the Statement of
Importance for funding the Arts to the council at this very important meeting
for the coming year.
Please contact your art colleagues, and if they have time,
to come to the Council Chambers for a show of solidarity. This is important for
artists of all levels of accomplishments. Students who are studying the new
media where there are many jobs, mid career artists who are the driving force
of creativity, and the Established Senior Artists who are our guiding lights of
the possible.
We need the support of all of the Artists in Artists Alliance.
If you can’t come, please send an email to Bradley Penner at
Our sphere of influence reaches far beyond our City Limits.
The exhibitions in the Southfair in Del
Mar, and Encinitas are great examples of such an influence. One of the far
reaching efforts of our Arts Commission will be the bringing together the
various Arts Commissions of the North
County to participate in a Retreat
to realize forward thinking in bringing together the talents of our many
Communities for Common economic benefits and Cultural Understanding in the
various art histories of each.
Partnering with the various stakeholders both in the Arts
and Economic weight such as The Oceanside Museum of Art, Main
Street Oceanside ,
The Chamber of Commerce, Visit Oceanside, the various Art
Commissions of North County will make our Region into a Destination of
International Importance for the 21st Century and beyond…
The Council Meeting of April 2nd at 5:00 PM is
of prime significance in our quest for funding and re-establishing our Arts
Commission as an economic force for our City to become Where the “Bold Meets
Beautiful!”
