Review, select, and/or recommend artists for potential projects. Select site for City -approved projects. Master Plan in its final stages of preparation. Chairman Walling introduced Carolyn Lair, Director of the La Quint Arts Foundation, who explained the Youth Art Works Program, a new program in the City utilizing local youth in conjunction with a local artist to create artwork for a particular public site. PALM SPRINGS: Diane Morgan gave a presentation on their program stating they were in the process of rewriting their ordinance due to problems that had occurred and gone to litigation. Their commission consists of seven members and has been in place since 1988. At the present time, they have seven public art pieces in place and several in progress. They are in the process of working on a Mission Statement and are formulating a youth project. She then showed a video of their artwork. PALM DESERT: Catherine Sass presented information on their program and stated the program began as a way to soften the look of the "community of walls". They created a dialog with the community to have a program for everybody. Their first artwork was placed in 1989, and was to be a public gathering place having historical significance. Ms. Sass APP4-5 Art in Public Places Minutes April 5,1995 gave a slide presentation of their public art. Since the program began changes have occurred in the minds of the community as well as the developers. It has become a competition and a tourism attraction. She explained how their temporary art program began and what caused it to continue. They now have 70 art pieces throughout the City. Chairman Walling thanked each of the cities for their presentation. The group broke for refreshments and a tour of the City Hall and City -owned artwork. They reconvened in the Council Chambers for a brainstorming discussion. Items discussed were: * When an ordinance is written the City should be required to abide by its regulations as well. * It was suggested that a tour be provided to help the local people see how public art can be effective. It was suggested that such places as Santa Monica be considered. * The City needs to integrate the artwork with the project to avoid lawsuits. * Ideas relating to a Valley -wide artist bank, an interagency library were discussed. It was suggested that each city start by categorizing their banks in the same manner. * It was suggested that a fee be charged to the artists to defray the cost of maintaining the library. Other sources of funding should be looked into as well. * Public education is a must. * A directory of names, phone numbers, and addresses of each members should be created and distributed to all the CommitteeslCommissions. * The question was asked as to what the objective was of this meeting. It was felt that the concentration should be on peoplelartists rather than the art objects. * The cities need to interface with each other to create a healing environment between the communities. * It was felt that a way should be created to have each city help other cities get their programs started. Members stated their willingness to work together to bring an awareness to each city. * Need more representation from the Latino community. * Need to find ways to perpetuate the, art program by creating a better understanding and interest in the local politicians. * Create a local artists group meeting and help them to know how to register in the local art banks. Following the discussion, it was determined that the joint meetings were beneficial to all and they should be continued. The next meeting was to be held in June with the date and site to be determined. Chairman Walling thanked everyone for their participation. *There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members WolfflShamis to adjourn this special meeting of the Art in Public Places Committee at 5:15 P.M.

Box 1540 La Quinta, Ca. 92253 RE: Cultural Affairs Commission assignment, La Quinta Pageant Steering Committee Dear Mayor Pena and Honorable Council Members: The Cultural Affairs Commission has assembled a La Quinta Pageant Steering Committee. Committee members are: Honey Atkins (Chair), Judy Vossler, Susan Francis, Kay Wolff, Scott Dalecio, Glenda Bangerter, Fred Rice, Donna Martin and Sherry Wollenberg. Their task is to research the process of establishing an annual outdoor production depicting the history of La Quinta in drama, music, song and dance. The Steering Committee has met three times to date and has prepared the attached packet outlining the production process. Although the project is a significant undertaking, our research indicates this endeavor has great potential for success. Some organizational options are: City sponsored Establish a non-profit entity to work with the city Joint involvement of the city and other cultural organizations As we are at the point of needing seed money to cover expenses, we seek your direction regarding the path you wish us to pursue. Thank you for your continued support of this exciting project. Sincerely, Honey Atkins LA QUINTA PAGEANT - GETTING STARTED - NEEDS: Cooperation among local groups, foundations, education and government Organizational plan determined and followed Show written specifically for the locality Script must be new, interesting, unique, (untested) Scenery and costuming must be specific to the area in design and construction Lead performers must be auditioned, contracted and rehearsed Supporting cast must be auditioned and rehearsed GOALS: Site Key Personnel Script Production Fundraising Public Relations The single common denominator present in virtually every successful outdoor drama is community involvement, at some level, on a no -pay basis regardless of the number of professionals employed Every successful show began with a good, leadership committee, a small group of hard-worlang individuals. It is important to begin with a clear picture of the value of the product to be offered to the public. Beyond the initial steering committee, the 'development organization' will be formed in the early stages. Made up of interested people who chair various committees with specific production functions such as finance, fund raising, script development, promotion, site management, etc. FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION WILL INVOLVE the blending of the script, artists, music, sound, lights, scenery, costumes and location into a single work -at the same time attracting enough audience for financial and cultural success (necessitating the additional elements of public relations, promotion and advertising). The production costs before opening the show are between $50,000 to $80,000. The cost to present the show will depend on the size of the cast, crew, number of performances, etc. (See list of expected expenses.) Once the machinery is in motion, a board of trustees is assembled to set policies and provide community leadership. Then the task is to identify the key people, the show manager and the writer(s), designer(s), director. Although local colleges may express interest, it is often best to use these people as consultants and advisors rather than for key staff positions. SHOW MANAGER: The production requires a skilled show manager who has experience in all aspects of an outdoor drama. Although income producing months are limited, the show manager, to be effective, must work on a year round basis beginning a full year before the show opens. The show manager must have skilled assistants available. The primary focus has to be the production even though there may be several secondary goals. Intense, specialized effort and concentration is necessary for this type of theatrical production. Case studies show, with out these elements, failure is predictable. WRITER AND DIRECTOR: The play should be written by an experienced writer who understands the unique requirements of outdoor production (as opposed to indoor theatre). Outdoor shows need pageantry, music, dance and generally big theatre material so as not to be dwarfed by outdoor space. The handling of the dialogue and characterization (script) must be big enough to fill outdoor space or it gets lost. For the same reasons, the director must be experienced in outdoor show direction (as opposed to indoor theatre, film, etc.). The production alone requires at least 6 months in planning for the director and designer after the script is written. There must be professionals, experienced in outdoor theatre production, in key positions. Reliance on nearby colleges and community theatres for talent and staffing, may result in weak production standards. THE PRODUCTION SITE: The best site for this ripe of production is in proximity to where the story takes place. The site should be free of noise, lights. power poles, insects, traffic. airplanes, freeway sounds and dense population. The direction of the setting sun is a factor and prevailing wind directions (to carry actor's voices to audience, not away). Plot characters should be regionally, if not nationally, recognizable. Site needs are: stage, seating, lighting, sound, ample dressing rooms, ticket booths, sufficient parking (need 1 space per 3.2 seats), bathrooms, concessions, fire and police availability, handicap access, directional signage from I-10. The best sites require a sense of pilgrimage to the historic location adding to the pageant experience. EMNEDIATE EXPENSES: Create story board (show outline, platy) Script Consultants (historians, tech advisors) Administrative support Printing / postage Travel expenses Miscellaneous Phone Work space / meeting rooms Fund-raiser / grant writer Legal (licensing fees, contracts, advisors) Finance (records, contracts, payroll, accounting, etc.) Insurance PRODUCTION EXPENSES: Show manager Musical director / arranger. Song writer Set design Costume design Building supplies / materials Sound / lights Labor Costume materials Director Choreographer Marketing (adv., p.r., promo, photography) Business manager (box office, reservations, site management, hospitality, etc.) Contract players Rehearsal space Make-up, props, accessories Storage FUNDING: There are various sources of funding available for new emerging productions and other grants for existing production companies. For example the N.E.A. has a grants program called "Support to Organizations - Theatre" which, depending on the criteria, provides six different funding sources. There are three for which we may qualify: Professional Theatre Training; Special Projects \ Organizations and Services to the Field Other sources of grant information are Riverside Arts Foundation, Institute of Outdoor Drama, state and corporate agencies, etc. (I have ordered materials from some of these agencies.) The first year or two may have higher local draw than subsequent years but outdoor productions need the tourist public for economic survival. (Less than 4% of the general public is interested in outdoor drama and concerts although this is higher than for indoor shows which is 2°/a) This means promo must reach spectators before their Easter plans are determined Studies show that the primary reasons that people attend outdoor dramas is to absorb the area's atmosphere, background and history. On a holiday, a spiritual sense invades the mood The production must be more than simple entertainment to be successful. The typical attendee spends $70 per day in the community, each dollar is turned over 3 times within that community. Every $1000 spent by visitors is worth $3000 to the community. Susan Francis 5-24-95 POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION BY GROUPS CONTEMPLATING PRODUCTION OF AN OUTDOOR HISTORICAL DRAMA OVERVIEW OF PAGEANT The La Quinta Pageant Committee (a sub -committee of the Cultural Affairs Commission) is researching the production of an annual pageant to be presented during Easter week, beginning 1997. The Committee has met three times to consider a series of questions suggested by the Institute of Outdoor Historical Drama. The responses to these factors are listed below: 1. IS THERE A STRONG STORY? While there is not yet a famous novel nor no one famous personage which would dominate the storyline of a La Quinta pageant, the story would trace the history of La Quinta from the Cahuilla Indian creation story, the transition of the Europeans' arrival with the Spanish land grants and the Bradshaw stagecoach stop in Indian Wells, the railroad station in Indio, early ranchers, Point Happy School, the establishment of the La Quinta Hotel in 1926, the subdivision of the Cove and the establishment of Desert Club, the Hollywood era with its celebrities, the founding of the La Quinta Country Club, the incorporation of the City in 1982, the blossoming of such organizations as the Arts Foundation, Historical Society, and through the building of the Civic Center and other municipal facilities. Music and dance contemporary to the various eras would involve soloists and local groups including students. Musical numbers would be interspersed with actors portraying the important personages with the emphasis upon comedy and entertainment. The Committee feels that the staging will be an attraction as well as an engaging story or plot. 2. DOES THE COMMUNITY WANT A PAGEANT? WILL THERE BE COMMUNITY RESOURCES? People who hear about the idea of a pageant are excited about the possibility. With the tradition of volunteerism in the community and the wealth of talented residents and the three schools within our City limits, the Committee feels that the volunteer support could be generated easily. Financial support would need to be sought from the City, local organizations and individuals and outside cultural funding sources. A budget will be developed. 3. WILL THERE BE COUNTY -WIDE SUPPORT? The Coachella Valley attracts tens of thousands of visitors many of whom might enjoy a relaxing and entertaining spring afternoon or evening at the La Quinta Tennis Club main court during Easter week. 4. IS THE LEADERSHIP COMMITTED TO MAKE A PAGEANT A SUCCESS? In terms of organizational ability and energy to raise funds and generate excitement, the current leadership group is definitely committed. All Committee members have successfully contributed to various events in the past. The members of the Committee are: Honey Atkins, Chair Donna Martin Glenda Bangerter Fred Rice Scott Delacio Judy Vossler Susan Francis Kay Wolff 5. IS THERE A POOL OF SKILLED ACTORS, DANCERS, SINGERS AND THEATRE TECHNICIANS ITHIN THE CO ? Yes, the Coachella Valley has a wealth of talented performers from which to draw for a pageant production. 6. IS THERE AN EXISTING TOURIST INDUSTRY IN THE AREA? The Coachella Valley has world-wide recognition as a tourist destination from November through Easter. 7. IS THERE A GOOD LOCATION FOR AN OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATRE COMPLEX? The Tennis Club at the La Quinta Resort has hosted the Labor Day Mariachi Festival for the past three years, drawing over 5,000 persons annually. The sunken court is a lovely setting, easily accessible to both day and night traffic and has water and electrical utilities located at the site. The weather for evening events is ideal, and one matinee performance is being considered. 5/31/95 by Kay Wolff �.Q��, ��-fry (t ff w4 f Tk \ � 0 UA f Lr�-c U �' &4,t V6, - o, ?, ef r, e r Co ��k LL4, c r- fe k.-L c `tlt�v21 �D�•cQ� HQ -f-i r Ak p aja4J'�co T LA q Co �-(T q-YL f at, "` `_a, I SC GIOC9 (_r 17, - - s- t-m-- S- --- - -- _ � y �t�crrvk v oLcCCt �_. l ��►.G� Pf - t t �1111�I�Z�I;J �]' 80 70 73 63 92 64 7 9686 28 Ll 3 74 49 60 89 20 777 6 4 55 65 8 71 5 59 53 27 94 40 30 48 3 84 44 67 47 72 2 14 35 1 32 10 1234 2 4 151 37 11 39 7924 50 75 7 66 13 7 3261 33 87 16 29 4 57 22 90 S8 54 91 31 56 9 62 69 81 85 49 Published by the Institute of Outdoor Drama To order, send check or money order for $5.00 to: The Institute of Outdoor Drama, The University of North Carolina, CB# 3240 NationsBank Plaza, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 27599-3240.

Performed each summer in scenic amphitheatres seating from 500 to 6,000 people, with an average capac- ity of 1,000, these dramas attract 2.5 million people annually. Dramatic history, music, dance and spectacle performed with large casts on expansive stages are the hallmarks of the American Outdoor Drama — family entertainment for all ages. This directory identifies three categories of outdoor drama (with their listing numbers); Historical Dramas 0 -48): These are original plays, usually with music and dance, based on a significant event, or series of events, and performed in amphitheatres near the site where the events actually occurred. Uniquely American and epic in scope, these dramas focus on the people who shaped the heritage of the country. Religious Dramas (49-58): This category includes the passion play — which dramatizes significant events in the life of Christ and is based on the text of the Bible — and the Mormon drama — which chronicles the founding and early history of the Mormon church based on events described in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon, a scriptural text of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints published in 1830. Shakespeare Festivals (59-96): These festivals produce full-length Shakespearean plays, often in rotating repertory with the works of modern and other classical playwrights. THE INSTITUTE OF OUTDOOR DRAMA The Institute of Outdoor Drama is an advisory and research agency of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill whose mission is to nurture the growth and development of outdoor drama in the U.S. Established in 1963, it serves as the national clearinghouse and resource center for individuals, groups and agencies concerned with all phases of the planning and production of outdoor, drama.
