Subsequently, on September 16th, the Council proclaimed October as National Arts
& Humanities Month.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE CULTURAL COMMISSION
FROM: ART IN PUBLIC PLACES COMMISSION
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 24, 1997
SUBJECT: OCTOBER - ARTS AND HUMANITIES MONTH
As the City Council has declared October, Arts and Humanities Month, the APP has determined to
initiate some activities to bring art to the attention of La Quinta's residents. As this declaration was
presented to both the APP and Cultural Commission, the APP has planned activities for the last two
weeks of October that will enhance the residents awareness of art.

CULTURAL COMMISSION
MEETING DATE: September 25, 1997
ITEM TITLE: Discussion of Grant Review Process
:' . : • \ • OVERVIEW:
At the August 28, 1997 Cultural Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed
correspondence from Commissioner Atkins (Attachment No. 1) regarding her request
that the grant review process be reviewed by the Commission. The Commission
agreed to place this matter on the September 25th agenda.
By way of background, the City Council directed that the Commission review certain
grant applications filed with the City as part of the "Contract" grant program.
Previously, the City had entered into contracts with various community organizations
to provide "services" to the City. For Fiscal Year 1997-98, the Council changed the
procedure by asking certain community organizations to submit applications for
potential contracts. Upon receipt and review of the contract applications, the Council
chose to label the applications as "grants" and referred all but two (the Chamber of
Commerce and Rancho La Quinta/Skins Game applications) to the Cultural
Commission for review. The "contract" grants were subsequently reviewed by the
Cultural Commission at their July 24, 1997 Commission meeting. At that meeting,
Chairperson Hull outlined a review "process" that provided for: a five minute
presentation by each applicant; a question and answer period between the
Commission and the applicant; and, an opportunity for the public to comment on the
agenda item.
In addition to the "contract" grant program, the City also has a Community Services
Grant program. The City has solicited/received twenty applications under this
program. The Council previously indicated that these Community Services Grant
applications would be reviewed by the "appropriate commission".
Commissioner Atkins has requested that the Commission review its review process
prior to its review of further grant applications (i.e. either "contract" or potentially,
newly assigned "community services" grants).
As deemed appropriate by the Commission.

ITEM TITLE: Cultural Arts Master Plan
= ' • • 1 • : wri��

general discussion ensued regarding how each Commissioner envisioned the Cultural
Arts Master Plan. The Commission agreed that Commissioners could write and
submit what each thought the Plan should accomplish and/or what it should contain.

25th meeting or deliver it to staff by September 15th for inclusion in the agenda
packet. Commissioner Voigt provided the attached statement for the Commission's
review.

I have a background in city government in Wausau,WI.
chairing a winter festival, that, over a 5 year period
grew form 20 events to more than 60 events.
It was, and still is very successful for the whole
community.
I know that this is "apples and oranges" in comparing
the project at hand, but, the process is in some
ways similar. I found from past experience, that
keeping it simple is a comfortable way to begin.
I feel that if we submit our "new" table of contents
to the City Council, the "bare bones", it will be
easily accepted. I understand that is our first
goal.
I believe that the Cultural Arts Master Plan is a
very much resourced plan, and has great vision.
I think it is a wonderful guide for us, as commissioners,
to work with, and as we have gained more substance
with certain projects, we can then present them
to the city council.
I look forward to being a part of achieving our
goals and objectives.

CULTURAL ARTS MASTER PLAN
for
The City of La Quinta
Prepared by
THE CULTURAL COMMISSION
The Mission of the Cultural Commission is to encourage culture and the arts in La Quinta.
INTRODUCTION
La Quinta is a young city centrally located in the Coachella Valley. People come from all over the
country to participate in the arts and amenities offered here. La Quinta is in a position to take a
leadership role and become an exemplary city for arts and culture.
Arts and culture are necessary components of an investment in the enrichment and well-being of
a community. They are critical ingredients in building a rounded socio-economic environment.
They are not to be reserved for prosperous times, but rather are a continuous necessity going
beyond what is commonly characterized as "enhancing the quality of life" in a community. For
example:
The development of culture and the arts has a positive economic impact on a community
by creating employment opportunities, attracting and retaining business, providing new
and increased expenditures to local businesses patronized by attendees of nearby arts and
cultural events.
The cultural arts play a vital role in successfully addressing societal problems by providing
shared cultural experiences for families and communities, reducing school dropout rates,
teaching respect and appreciation for cultural differences, building self-esteem, developing
creative outlets to channel energy, and building community pride and identity.
Within the context of this plan, "culture" is meant to be totally inclusive of all forms of human
expression in the visual, performing, applied and literary arts, whether classical or modern, formal
or informal, embracing the diversity of all people within this community. The community consists
of everyone who lives or works in the City of La Quinta.
La Quinta has a strong cultural identity, particularly with the arts. The vigor and zest of its
cultural offerings touch and enrich the lives of citizens and visitors, and act as a stimulus to civic
pride and involvement. The annual La Quinta Arts Festival, which began in 1982, has helped
develop a cultural face to the community. Programs and activities which have developed over
the years blend the socio-economic and diverse community elements together.
In our City the opportunities and locations for cultural experiences abound throughout the year --
from walking through the Frances Hack Park at the annual La Quinta Arts Festival in March to
visiting the La Quinta Arts Association's newly -opened gallery at the La Quinta Plaza; from
listening to Community Concerts Association productions to hearing guest writers speak about
their latest works at a Round Table West meeting at La Quinta Resort and Club; from touring the
La Quinta Historical Society's Museum to enjoying an outdoor tour through the sculpture park at
the La Quinta Open -Air Museum; from dramatic and musical school productions throughout the
year to Friday night concerts and sales at the downtown Mainstreet Marketplace; from the strong
Art -In -Public Places program to the annual Mariachi Festival. As more and more people are
drawn into the City by these events each year, the economic and cultural impact encourages new
groups and residents to come into the City with new programs.
La Quinta is a rapidly growing city, and now must come an equal growth in civic beauty and the
development of La Quinta as a center of cultural values essential to complete citizenship. The
creation of a visionary plan for the cultural and artistic development of the community is
important. A strong cultural plan has a positive impact on the economy, community, and families,
and takes into account the visual and performing arts, the role of artists in the community, urban
design, public celebration, cultural diversity, arts education, public art, community building and
economic development, architecture, landscape design, and more.
A community cultural plan may well become the blueprint for building "livability" into an area. It
can mesh with all other community plans to show how culture plays an integral role in shaping the
community's look, feel, spirit and design and allows a community to define those aspects of
cultural development that are most appropriate and essential to its own way of life and future
growth.
A strategic cultural plan provides the focus and direction to increase opportunities for artists and
to raise existing activities and organizations to a new level of development and service to the
community. Formulating a plan with community input focuses on future actions of the entire
community as they affect cultural functions. Most important, however, is a cultural plan which
establishes a vision of a desired future and establishes roles, steps, time lines and methods for
achieving that vision. Everyone benefits from a common framework of priorities within which to
place their own organizational goals.
The Cultural Commission is pleased to be the facilitator in designing the first such Cultural Arts
Master Plan for the City of La Quinta. It is to be a "living" document, evolving with changes in
La Quinta's cultural and artistic life.
-2-
METHOD AND PURPOSE
Through the medium of community workshops, conferences, surveys and interviews, dozens of
residents, both in La Quinta and from throughout the Coachella Valley (Appendix II), participated
and provided the information which appears in this Cultural Arts Master Plan. In cooperation
with City staff, the Cultural Commission compiled the information received and set forth the goals
and objectives addressing the needs and observations that were brought forward.
This plan is a visionary set of guidelines to give direction to future cultural and artistic
development in the community. It will evolve with the growth of the City, and will provide
direction for the community organizations as they set their goals and develop programs and
services to meet the needs of their constituents and the community.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
CULTURE AND THE ARTS
The long-term preservation of the community's cultural resources and the promotion and
development of the arts are important to both the image and economy of La Quinta. They form
the guidelines by which our society runs.
Goal 1 Identiffy Arts and Cultural Community
1.1 Survey and assess the economic impact and status of the arts in the community on an on-
going basis.
1.1.1 Evaluate the present status, both in number of people served or participating and
the economic impact of arts and cultural events on the community.
1.1.2 Project the future growth of culture and the arts in La Quinta.
1.2 Acknowledge the diversity of the socio-economic-cultural dynamic in the community.
1.3 Identify opportunities for cultural exposure, involvement, participation, interaction and
education for artists and the public.
1.4 Establish an information and resource bank of visual, performing, literary, and other artists
including contact and professional information in a cultural organization directory.
1.4.1 Provide access to a regularly updated inventory of artists, organizations, and
resources, as well as facilities, libraries, museums, and their programs and
activities.
1.4.2 Utilize artists' bank maintained by the Art -in -Public Places Commission, as well as
the La Quinta Arts Foundation.
1.4.3 Identify resources geographically: La Quinta, Coachella Valley, Southern
California, state-wide, national and international.
AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT
A culturally -rich community builds a stable environment for families and business, and stimulates
ME
community involvement. In order to have audiences in the future for the multi -arts presentations
and activities, it is imperative to develop them now to ensure the preservation and continuation of
a vital and healthy society.
Goal 2 Increase and Develop Audiences of Community -wide Arts and Cultural Organizations.
2.1 Educate and inform La Quinta's population as to the cultural resources and activities
available to them, and encourage their involvement and participation.
2.2 Build bridges for multi-ethnic/cultural diversity through program development and public
cultural and arts events in celebration of the diversity of the community.
The La Quinta ethnic breakdown of a population of 18,500 in 1996 is estimated as follows: 70%
Caucasian, 26% Hispanic, 2% Black, and 2% Asian/Other, with a median age of 32 years.
2.3 Target hard -to -reach populations.
2.3.1 Utilize multi-lingual publications and media to promote cultural programming.
2.3.2 Encourage local organizations and individuals to become involved in the local
cultural programs.
2.3.3 Devise systems to communicate with and deliver arts programs to all population
segments of the community.
2.4 Provide accessibility to the arts and culture, both economically and physically to all
citizens.
2.4.1 Look for alternative arts programming that is diverse, innovative and all-inclusive
to address the needs of at -risk youth, physically challenged youth and adults,
economically disadvantaged, as well as the talented and gifted.
SUPPORT OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE
One of the crucial aspects of preserving a strong and vital arts community is having adequate
support from the community in the form of volunteers, finances, and information. These are
provided by individuals, organizations, civic government, and businesses. Funding can also come
from outside sources through grants.
-5-
Goal 3 Support and Encourage Professional Development of Local Artists
It is important to realize the arts are a viable business. The creative and performing artists derive
their living from, and contribute to the local economy by means of their profession. Artists are
creative problem -solvers and are major contributors to enhanced life styles and environmental and
spatial aesthetics. Their services are important to the balance and quality of life. They need to be
identified and utilized by all segments of the community.
3.1 Encourage a thriving community of artists where the artists can realize their potential and
contribute to the vitality of the larger community.
3.1.1 Call together focus groups to expand the cultural vision and create methods for
implementing arts development.
3.2 Provide a vehicle for individual artists drawn from all disciplines to have a voice to input
into the evolving, creative arts dynamic of civic and cultural development, such as an
artists' advisory committee.
3.3 Encourage an artist -friendly community.
3.3.1 Devise a system to publicly recognize achievement in the arts
3.3.2 Consider adopting a philosophy that would provide or allow for artists' live/work
space.
3.3.3 Consider establishing artist -in -residence programs.
3.3.4 Establish a system to assist in placing artists to perform or exhibit in public or
commercial spaces.
3.4 Advocate the principle that professional artists should be appropriately compensated for
their work.
Goal 4 Enlarge Community Base of Support
Individuals from the various service providers and organizations can contribute expertise in
business and operational procedures, practical support and direction in board development and
mentoring, and can assist in identifying general networking outlets.
4.1 Develop financial and human resources necessary to support arts and cultural activities
throughout the City.
W
4.2 Develop a technical assistance program utilizing representatives from community service
providers.
4.3 Encourage business support of the arts and cultural organizations.
4.3.1 Investigate the feasibility of establishing a Business Committee for the Arts.
4.4 Conserve existing resources and generate new dollars through cooperative efforts among
organizations to sustain financial support from individuals, businesses, and local
government.
4.5 Explore the possibilities of a united fund for the arts.
4.6 Consider establishing a center to provide technical assistance to local arts and cultural
organizations to access their own funding, obtain grants, and to provide management and
program development training.
4.7 Utilize cultural commissioners to act as a resource and liaison among organizations,
individual artists, and civic entities.
Goal 5 Encourage Municipal Support for the Arts and Cultural Development
Arts and culture are necessary components of an investment in the enrichment and well-being of
La Quinta. It has been proven that when the arts thrive within the community a strong and
expanding economic base is the result.
5.1 Develop a clear cultural development policy to make optimal use of City -supported
services and programs: library, school system, senior and youth services, parades and
public celebrations.
5.2 Encourage municipal and business support for local artists by utilizing their talents and
vision.
5.2.1 Investigate ways for the business community to participate in and be actively
involved in the arts.
5.2.2 Identify methods to educate and inform the business and civic leaders of La Quinta
regarding the value of the arts.
5.2.3 Unify efforts to secure funding and facilities.
-7-
5.2.4 Sponsor, underwrite or partner special arts events, cultural education programs,
and other arts related activities.
5.3 Generate greater municipal financial support for cultural programs, services, and
development efforts.
5.3.1 Consider dedication of an established percentage of the transient occupancy, sales
or other tax stream to support the cultural arts.
5.3.2 Establish funding priorities for local grants that encourage innovative public
funding for arts programs.
5.3.3 Investigate the increasing of the Art -In -Public -Places development fee contribution
of project cost applicable to residential, commercial and public projects.
5.3.3.1 Enhance public art by imposing a standard fee on residential,
commercial and public projects sufficient to fund public arts
objectives.
5.4 Investigate and propose an effective funding process by means of which City funds are
allocated to arts organizations.
5.5 Maintain and coordinate a cultural development component in any municipal development
plan.
YOUTH ARTS AND ARTS EDUCATION
Recent studies by Shaw and Rauscher at the University of California at Irvine verify the value of
arts education as it relates to academic learning. Students who study the arts, and particularly
music, score an average of at least one grade point higher overall than those students who have no
arts education. Discipline problems have virtually disappeared in schools where students have
been immersed in the arts. The arts give a student a sense of self-worth improving their self-
image and developing self-discipline; they increase their ability to solve problems, to think
logically, to develop insight, and to work cooperatively; in general, to have a well-balanced
education.
Goal 6 Build A Strong, Inteyrated Arts Education Program in the Schools and Community
6.1 Encourage the development of cultural programs, instruction, classes, and residencies for
children, teens and special audiences who would not otherwise have access to these
opportunities.
ME
6. l.1 Enhance and promote the programs of the City's Community Services Department
in partnership with other youth organizations.
6.1.2 Develop anti-crime/anti-graffiti arts programs and make accessible to `at risk'
youth.
6.1.3 Encourage the continuation and enlargement of docent programs in the schools,
and involve local artists in school programs.
6.2 Advocate for a program of sequential arts education taught by qualified arts teachers to
enhance the basic curriculum with arts experiences.
6.3 Encourage the development of a school for the arts.
6.3.1 Classes could include children's theater, community theater, dance, and music and
visual arts instruction.
6.3.3 The school facility could include performing arts space available to the public, or
could be combined with the development of a performing arts center. (See 10.2)
Goal 7 Develop Venues and Programs for Youth and Teens
Building unity in a community means finding programs that bring all ages and ethnic groups
together. Band concerts and street fairs are types of programs that cut across all generations.
There is a specific need in La Quinta for programs and sites where young people can gather in a
safe environment. Cross-cultural events can share spaces and programs.
T 1 Develop cultural programs and activities specifically for teens.
7.2 Look for ways to encourage students to attend and participate in arts programs and
activities.
7.3 Identify and share or develop sites for teen activities in a safe drug -free environment.
7.4 Establish opportunities to link arts and cultural events with programs for youth.
COMMUNICATIONS AND PROMOTION
Duplication of efforts and programs is costly, therefore it is important that in a community the
size of La Quinta resources of organizations, personnel, expertise and information is shared and
-9-
made available to one another. Some effort in this direction has been made, but more can be
accomplished when needs are made known and a plan is in place to promote and communicate
programs and services between organizations and the community. To this end, methods of
communication and networking need to be established.
Goal 8 Promote Communication and Cooperation Among City-wide Arts and Cultural
Organizations
8.1 Identify needs and mutual areas of interest and activities, thereby preventing duplication of
services.
8.2 Utilize an officially designated private arts organization or public commission, such as the
Cultural or Historic Commissions, to coordinate, monitor, or create cultural planning
initiatives and to develop and maintain a coordinated community calendar of arts events
and activities which will serve as a clearinghouse for information and schedules of events
for the community's organizations.
8.3 Develop and maintain an artist registry containing contact and professional information, as
well as a cultural organization directory. Update on a regular basis, such as bi-annually.
8.4 Consider developing and maintaining mailing lists to be made available to all organizations
who participate in an agreement regarding usage.
8.5 Publicize arts organizations and programs to schools and community.
8.5.1 Disseminate organization newsletters, and publicly notice meetings and events.
8.5.2 Hold community seminars and conferences for sharing of information and
resources.
8.6 Help create an inter -organizational coalition of representatives of all cultural
organizations.
8.6.1 Set goals for development, expansion and support for the arts and culture.
8.6.2 Share or pool resources, such as artists' bank, expertise, problem -solving
techniques, trends study, and an "opportunity" resource library for access by
artists, organizations, and the general public.
8.7 Establish a speakers bureau and provide speakers at no cost to community organizations
and schools.
-10-
8.7.1 Train supporters of the arts how to be advocates and provide cultural
organizations and supporters with advocacy tools and current information on the
value of the arts and culture.
8.8 Keep elected officials informed about the arts and cultural programs.
8.9 Promote effective communication systems to diverse ethnic community. (See 2.2)
Goal 9 Promote Cultural Tourism and Economic Development
9.1 Document cultural arts activities as an important economic resource.
9.2 Collaborate with the tourist industry, chambers of commerce, and all arts and cultural
organizations throughout the Coachella Valley.
9.3 Improve permanent signage leading visitors to cultural attractions.
9.4 Continue and enlarge the Art -in -Public -Places Program as a vehicle for community
education, appreciation, and physical enhancement.
9.5 Promote the community's cultural institutions and resources collectively as an industry
that provides significant contribution to the local and regional economy.
9.6 Develop programs and activities to entice visitors and new residents to La Quinta.
9.6.1 Have a city-wide cultural arts "season."
9.7 Spotlight current arts programs.
9.7.1 Support and promote such organizations and programs as: Coachella Valley
Community Concerts in La Quinta, La Quinta Arts Association and Gallery, La
Quinta Arts Foundation and Festival, La Quinta Historical Society Museum, La
Quinta On Stage, La Quinta Open -Air Museum, Mariachi Festival, Round Table
West, and others.
9.7.2 Encourage the display and sale of quality art for investors and collectors.
9.8 Preserve and enhance important features of the physical environment, including
architecture, historic landmarks, and natural resources.
9.9 Enhance the use of the press and news media in promoting arts and cultural programs and
activities in La Quinta.
-Il-
ARTS FACILITIES
Research has been determined that there is a need for appropriate facilities for the performing and
visual arts. There is no professional art gallery, no performing arts theater or space for
professional dance or music concerts that has an adequate stage in the City of La Quinta. In order
to develop a thriving and vital city, it is important to have gathering places for all citizens. In
coming together in common interests, all cultural, socio-economic and ethnic barriers are broken
down, creating a common international language for everyone.
Goal 10 Encourage the Development of a Cultural Facility
Knowing that the citizens would like a community gathering place, a performing or cultural arts
center could be the ideal venue to combine many aspects of the community in one central area. It
could contain gallery space, outdoor patios courting book stores, coffee house and small
restaurant, gift and artisan shops, conversation corners next to fountains, exemplary flower
gardens, and other shops compatible with the arts. The building and grounds could feature
landmark architecture. The center would give La Quinta a strong, expanded cultural identity that
would translate into positive economic growth, cultural tourism and a public relations tool. It
would offer professional theater, dance, music concerts, as well as community theater and serve
as a venue for community events.
10.1 Encourage the design and development of a central meeting place for artists and the
public, such as in "The Village" area.
10.1.1 The Village Center could include as coffee house, artisan shops, book store, art
galleries, music store, and outdoor patios with fountains, sculptures, benches,
plants, and places for mini -outdoor concerts or exhibits. It could become a site for
community activities, children's theater, songfest, outdoor concerts, forums, and
the like.
10.2 Identify and encourage the renovation or building of cultural facilities, such as a
performing arts center which would provide space for rehearsals, performances,
exhibitions, administration, classes, and artists' studios.
10.2.1 Develop an education component whereby videos could be produced for use in the
local schools as well as other outlets, thereby creating a source of income.
10.2.2 A school for the arts could become part of the facility. (See 6.3)
10.2.3 An adequate facility could include a community room for organizations to hold
meetings, forums or workshops, and it could include exhibits of artwork as well as
a community learning center.
-12-
10.3 Promote the enhancement of the public library and its services and technology.
10.3.1 Promote book sales, story telling hours for children, and a mobile unit to extend
into all areas within the City borders.
10.4 Incorporate movie theaters in City development.
LEADERSHIP, TRAINING AND COOPERATION
Without the infusion of new knowledgeable people to work in the arts, current programs may not
continue or may not grow effectively. It is vital that people in the community be identified who
have an interest in and knowledge of the arts and their value to the City, and that they be
encouraged to get involved in organizations, commissions, schools, businesses and City
government.
Goal 11 Identifx Nurture and Train New Cultural and Arts Leadership
11.1 Support the development of a volunteer pool from a broad cross-section of the
community.
11.1.1 Consider creating a chapter of Business Volunteers for the Arts.
11.1.2 Utilize the Senior Center and the La Quinta Arts Foundation as resources for
talent, expertise, and mentoring.
11.1.3 Address board development for nonprofit arts organizations and find ways to help
identify potential board members.
11.2 Encourage existing cultural leaders to identify potential new arts leaders and recruit
mentors to serve on boards of cultural organizations.
11.2.1 Encourage the expansion of organizational planning, marketing, and funding.
ALL-INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY ARTS AND CULTURE
There are many areas in which the entire community is involved. Major community -wide arts and
cultural events meet a particular need in uniting all segments and unifying the City. Attention
must be given to programs and community development to let this happen.
-13-
Goal 12 Integrate the Arts into the Community's Cultural Life
12.1 Encourage city-wide multi -arts programs.
12.2 Encourage the presentation of public arts events.
12.2.1 Support and promote programs including La Quinta On Stage productions, the
Community Concert series, the Mariachi and the La Quinta Arts Festivals.
12.2.2 Encourage attendance at the La Quinta Arts Association's Gallery and at the "La
Quinta Free Day" at the La Quinta Open -Air Museum.
12.2.3 As new arts and cultural organizations are formed, give strong support in getting
them established.
12.3 Promote geographical and ecological considerations in the arts.
12.3.1 Encourage the incorporation of aesthetics in public landscaping design.
12.3.2 Utilize artists in the designing of public recreation areas.
12.4 Consider establishing a "sister city" cultural exchange program --state, national or
international.
Goal 13 Identify La Quinta's Role in the Coachella Valley
13.1 Encourage, promote and participate in Valley -wide arts and cultural events, conferences
and workshops.
13.1.1 Cooperate with the County of Riverside Arts Foundation in developing
cooperation and support for the arts among the cities.
13.2 Help develop and maintain a system of communication among the cities in the Coachella
Valley, and their complementary organizations, commissions and committees.
13.3 Advocate for the arts and cultural development at all levels: business, government,
schools, organizations, community at large, and individuals.
SUMMARY
This plan will generate a level of cultural excitement and wealth not seen before. Many people
will add creative ideas to it to enable present and future populations to create a unique place for
total enjoyment. The next step is to determine ways to implement it.

Presented To The
Mayor's Committee for the Arts
Approved
January 16, 1989
The Glendale Regional Arts Council has developed a long/
short-range plan for the arts in Glendale and surrounding
communities, including a supporting budget. Some phases of
the plan are in effect, and others will be implemented during the
next fiscal year. It was enthusiastically approved by the Board of
Directors, and is submitted to this Committee for review and
discussion.
Areas of responsibility of the Arts Council include the
following:
Communication
The Arts Council will act in an advisory capacity to each City on
the cultural and aesthetic development of the community. It
also will be a resource to identify artists and knowledgeable
people in all areas of the arts, referring them as necessary to
community organizations.
The Arts Council expects to publish a bi-monthly Newsletter
(Creative Outlook), which will apprise citizens of arts activities
and events throughout the area. It will include articles of perti-
nent interest to the arts community and will be distributed to all
organizations and members, as well as be available to the public.
A calendar of arts events will be included in the Newsletter, or
may be published as a separate publication.
Public Service announcements are to be made on radio and
television about programs and activities of public interest. A
system is in development with Radio KIEV to have regular
presentation of announcements for arts events for the public.
Announcements and information regarding arts events may be
publicized in the "City Views," which is published and
distributed by the City of Glendale.
A marketing and public relations program needs to be
developed which will provide wider support and awareness of
the arts and the organizations working in the arts in the
community.
Membership
In order to promote and solicit membership in the Arts Council and other arts
organizations, GRAC will develop and maintain mailing lists, which will include
corporations and individuals as well as organizations dedicated to supporting the arts.
Meetings and programs for members will be designed to meet needs as they are identified.
There will be an ongoing development of benefits to members.
Programs
The Alex Theatre is of vital interest to the Arts Council and the community as a potential
performing arts and cultural center in downtown Glendale. In taking a leadership role, the
Arts Council will coordinate with the developer and the Glendale Historical Preservation
Commission and the Glendale Historical Society to maintain the historical significance of
the building while allowing it to be adapted as a useful center for the performing arts.
Working with the City Council and Redevelopment Agency on the time -line and progress
on development of property will be an ongoing monitoring and coordination effort. In
addition, GRAC will develop programs to keep the issue of the Alex before the public. A
funding plan for support, including private, corporate and public monies will be developed
in cooperation with the Partners, the City, and interested organizations.
Cooperation with the Glendale Partners is vital. GRAC will act as a resource for
Kaleidoscope and other community arts events as needs are identified and programs
developed. The Arts Council can provide a liaison between business and arts community.
Awards will be presented to businesses, individuals, and organizations who have made
major contributions to the arts locally. These can be for public art projects, display of the
visual arts in the work place, support for or presentation of performing arts, or other means
that increase the visibility and awareness of the arts. (Perhaps a sculpture could be
commissioned as the business award, and brass plates attached each year acknowledging the
recipient; and a parchment commendation presented to the company.)
Programs to increase visibility of the arts will be developed. They will include such events as
symposiums and conferences, art shows in the Galleria, at Brand Library, in the parks and
other public spaces, and mini -concerts in public places (e.g., 40-minute noon -time music or
dance concerts). Also art in public places will be encouraged through businesses and civic
agencies. GRAC plans to sponsor programs representing all of the arts throughout each
year.
GRAC will be cooperating with the Parks and Recreation Division in the G1enFest event
and other cross-cultural events as they are developed. A plan for a Youth Theatre project
and Theatre Workshop for Children is in development as a joint venture with the City of
Glendale.
The Arts Council is heading a group to reorganize the Glendale Youth Orchestra. A Board
of Directors is in place and plans indicate that it will be functioning in the fall semester of
1989. A conductor will be selected in the spring of 1989.
-3-
Funds could be used by the Arts Council in the following ways:
to assist in establishing a foundation to be used for underwriting programs and for
grants to organizations for programs in the arts
• for developing programs to augment and supplement those already presented by
community organizations
• to support the communication system of a newsletter and other media
• for salaries for staff
• for administrative expenses including office supplies, materials, and operating
expenses
• for advertising events, the foundation, and programs
The Glendale Regional Arts Council is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our
citizens. This plan is a step in that direction.

THE ARTS IN GLENDALE
- A Strategy Paper
INTRODUCTION:
August, 1997
Last October, under the leadership of then Mayor Sheldon Baker, 130
people got together at Brand Library and Art Center to discuss art.
Sponsored by the City of Glendale and the Glendale Partners, the
symposium entitled "The Future of the Arts in Glendale: Partnerships of
Success" explored the value of the arts to the community, local resources
and strategies for promoting greater art activity in the future.
The symposium generated a wealth
of good ideas. The
challenge now is
to
determine the best way to pursue
them. The purpose
of this paper is
to
recommend a structure for a task
force whose mission
will be to develop
a strategy or Cultural Master Plan
for the future. The
ideas put forth
by
symposium participants and outlined in this paper should serve as
a
starting point.
THE VALUE OF THE ARTS TO GLENDALE:
Before pursuing a strategy for the future, a brief reflection on the value
the arts bring to the community is in order. The arts are considered in a
broad context. Included are the visual arts, performing arts, literary arts
and the "integrated media." Each plays a unique role, has special needs and
makes a significant contribution to the community.
Above all, the arts add value to enhance the quality of our lives. Whether
it is to beautify, communicate or entertain, it goes to the very soul of
what makes us a community. Good urban planning recognizes the value of
incorporating the arts as it improves appearance, creates a feel and
conveys a message. The arts can also play an important role in the
education of our youth, teaching them skills, providing insight and helping
them grow. Artists themselves serving as mentors can be instrumental to
this process. Adding to these values is that the arts are an
environmentally "clean" industry.
More than any time before the arts can be an economic advantage. A
recent study generated by the California Arts Council found that non-
profit arts organizations add over $2 billion to California's economy,
1
create 115,000 jobs and generate $77 million in state and local tax
revenue. Development of the arts strenghthens commerce, generates jobs,
increases state and local tax revenues and tourist dollars.
We are seeing an exploding market of job opportunities for those with
artistic talent, particularly in the integrated media. As arts merge with
technology it is noteworthy that there is no substitute for fundamental
artistic talent and training. As one industry representative put it, "We
are looking for Renaissance artists."
The arts' role in attracting tourism is recognized around the world.
Besides adding beauty, it brings distinction. Art can help give Glendale
national and even world-wide recognition. In terms of businesses
developed, jobs created and tourists attracted, the arts should be
considered as a major factor in the economy of this region.
The value of the arts to the community goes beyond good urban design and
economics. It goes to the heart of what makes a community. The arts are
a wonderful means of communication. In this very diverse community of
ours, they help us to grow, better understand and celebrate. Art serves as
a unifier, a catalyst for a sense of community and a challenge to our
conscience.
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES:
In developing a strategy for the arts, Glendale faces some issues and
challenges.
Beyond the value of the arts, symposium participants view Glendale as a
dynamic urban center with a great foundation upon which to build. It is a
city with many successful arts programs in place and an environment
which is conducive to further cultivation of the arts. As indicated by the
growing number of arts related businesses, more visible arts activities
and the sponsorship by the Glendale Partners of the Arts Symposium,
support for the development and implementation of a long range plan is
growing.
Among the many qualities that already attract people to Glendale are easy
accessibility from Los Angeles, Hollywood and the San Fernando and San
Gabriel Valleys, and a feeling of safety. Glendale's close proximity to Los
Angeles, a major urban art center with an international reputation for
outstanding artists and facilities including the long anticipated Getty
Center, is an advantage. Artists and arts related businesses are
increasingly attracted to Glendale in part because of the location of
F
Disney Imagineering, Dreamworks SKG and the art departments at Glendale
Community College which includes an expanding animation department.
Many successful venues and programs are already in place. The opening of
the Alex Theatre and A Noise Within served as the impetus for a
flourishing Theatre District. The Glendale Unified School District
provides a variety of art and music instruction to students. The City of
Glendale has a history of providing outstanding arts programming through
the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and the Brand
Library and Art Center which includes an art and music library, galleries
and a recital hall. The City's Downtown Strategic Plan incorporates a
vision for the arts.
In order to build on these strengths and develop Glendale as a center for
the arts, we must also acknowledge current limitations and areas for
development. First and foremost is the need for a cohesive plan for the
future to include strategies for coordinating and further developing
existing venues and services. Additionally there is a need to develop new
venues and services which are unique in the Southern California region and
will attract wide audience support. A Master Plan will build on Glendale's
strenghths and address and find solutions to these and other limitations.
A CULTURAL MASTER PLAN/DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE:
Symposium participants recognized the need for a comprehensive .long
range plan for the arts in Glendale and generated many exciting ideas.
This Strategy paper outlines those ideas and recommends that a Task
Force be established to use the ideas as a basis for establishing a Master
Plan for the Arts in Glendale.
The Cultural Plan, as developed by Task Force members, will focus on:
• strategies to further develop and coordinate existing art venues and
resources
• strategies for developing new arts venues and resources
• recommendations for an organization to implement the cultural plan
• Identification and designation of sources of revenue
Task Force members will develop strategies based on the potential to:
3
• benefit Glendale's economic vitality
• create a supportive environment for artists and the arts
• enrich the cultural experience of Glendale's citizens and visitors
• provide unique resources and/or venues which will enhance
Glendale's reputation as a center for the arts
• enhance Glendale's visibility as a dynamic center of arts activities
in Southern California
• celebrate a diverse community
The following issues
were
put
forward by symposium participants and
should be used as a
starting
point
for development of a Master Plan:
ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC VITALITY of Glendale through the arts by building
a supportive environment for artists, art professionals, arts related
businesses and audiences which generates a strengthened commerce, the
generation of jobs and increased local tax revenue and tourist dollars.
• Coordinate and market venues and resources
• Centralize information about the arts (eg.,centrally located
kiosks, arts web site)
• Coordinate scheduling (eg.,arts calendar)
• Promote business partnerships
• Promote business expansion. Develop incentives. Examine
zoning issues
• Provide further arts education/training (eg.,art as a business)
• Develop incentives for artists to live and work in Glendale
• Develop artist recognition programs

District and Glendale Community College.:
• Market existing resources in Glendale and beyond

professionals, organizations and businesses, and audiences
0
• Develop a means of advocacy for artists and the arts

• Convert empty store fronts to art spaces including gallery
and/or
performance space
• Expand City facilities
• Expand School facilities
• Utilize existing auditorium space

• Community programming in partnership with schools
• Provide artists as mentors in schools
• Press coverage of existing resources
• Cable TV coverage

5
CREATE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS which give exposure to
artists and expose audiences to the arts. Areas for consideration include:
FESTIVALS:
• Art festivals
• Music festivals
• Literary festivals
• Film festivals
PROGRAMMING:
• Public art programs
• Street performance

THE TASK FORCE:
In creating a Master Plan, Task Force members should make every effort to
build community partnerships between artists, arts professionals,
business people and City Staff. Public participation including all
segments of our ethnic community and an effective working relationship
with the media are essential elements in broadening support of the Plan
and generating a strong audience base in the future. Ideas should be shared
with other cities, regions and states with' successful plans in place.
Priorities shoud be determined based on fiscal realities.
0
As part of the process, the Task Force will recommend an organizational
structure and related staffing to implement and support the Plan. The
feasibility of a non-profit and City run organization should be considered.
Funding sources from all areas of the community will be investigated and
designated. Funding possibilities include grants, philanthropic donations
and/or contributions or sponsorship by the business community.
The Task Force will be under the leadership of a Glendale City
Councilmember appointed by the Mayor. Each member of City Council,
including the Mayor, will recommend up to four people to participate in
the Task Force. Membership should include representation from the arts
and business communities. A list of people who participated in the
October 1996 symposium and/or expressed an interest in serving on a
Task Force is attached. Council's selections are not limited to this list.
The City will provide assistance from the City Manager's office, the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and the Library.
Sub -Committees should be assigned as deemed appropriate to the goals of
the Master Plan.
SUMMARY:
The need for a Master Plan for the Arts is clear. The success of a Master
Plan and its implementation is dependent upon on all segments of the
community working in partnership. The City of Glendale, the Glendale
Unified School District, Glendale Community College, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Glendale Partners, the Glendale Homeowner's Coordinating
Council, and representatives from all ethnic groups in our community are
among the many people and organizations who should be challenged to
make this dream a reality.

way for children to appreciate the history of the area in which they live. Thank you for sharing
it with them.

were impressed with the quality of the program. You are to be commended for your creative
ability and organizational skills.
The use of passports was a novel way of helping children understand the world of travel. The
experiences they had in each "new country" were well thought out. As visitors, we enjoyed
every minute there. It is a joy to see first hand the response of so many young people and their
enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for including us as guests.

Dear Americans for the Arts Member:
Americans for the Arts is pleased to present a second opportunity to participate in the
Community Residency Exchange Program, an international exchange program in
partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The residencies, which will take
-place between May and December 1998, offer artists, arts organizations, and local arts
agencies (LAAs) in the U.S. the opportunity to participate in four -week artistic exchanges
between the US and Ireland or Northern Ireland. LAAs will be able to develop an
Michael H. Jordan international residency project of interest to their community and/or to recommend local
Westinghouse Electric Corporation (s) to travel abroad and work on a project in either Ireland or Northern Ireland.
Chair, National Policy Board
Fred Lazarus IV Our 1997 program has been extremely successful. This years residency hosts are the Pratt
The Maryland Institute, Fine Arts Center in Seattle, WA; Broward Cultural Affairs Council in Fort Lauderdale,
College of Art FL; Jay County Arts Council in Portland, IN;
Chair, Governing Board and Carlsbad Arts Office in Carlsbad, CA.
Robert L. Lynch Residency Proiects for Foreign Artists in the U.S.
President and ceo Local arts agencies are eligible to submit aproposal describing a residency
Project that
would offer an Irish artist working in any discipline the chance to share his or her unique
talents with that community. Our partners, the Arts Councils of Ireland and Northern
Ireland, have developed a review process to select the four best artists for the four -week
residencies in U.S. communities.
The opportunity to host artists from other countries can inspire new work and lead to
future ongoing collaborations. It can also greatly enrich the programs of the LAAs'
constituent organizations. In order to host an artist from abroad through this program, a
local arts agency must have the capacity and experience to develop and oversee an
international artistic residency. LAAs will be expected to:
3000Vermont Avenue NW • Provide details of proposed project(s) in the local community;
12th floor • Provide subsistence (accommodations and local travel) for the resident artist;
Washington DC 20005 . Work closely with the Americans for the Arts project coordinator.
T 202 3712830
F 202 3710424 • Have a staff liaison for the project;
One East 53rd Street
• Provide working facilities and materials appropriate for the project; and
New York NY 10022 • Submit a final report to Americans for the Arts upon completion of the residency.
T 212 223 2787
F 212 980 4857 LAAs wishing to host artists from abroad should be aware of the special nature of the
www.artsusa.org commitment. In many cases, the residency experience will be the first in-depth interaction
that visiting artists have with the United States. As they will be removed from their usual
support networks, most artists will expect that their hosts will help them set up social as
well as work -related activities, just as they would do for U.S. artists visiting their country.
Community Residency Exchange Program Application
How to Apply: Submit a project proposal of no more than two pages that responds to items a.
through h. below. Please label each response with its corresponding letter. Mail to Americans for
the Arts, 1000 Vermont Ave., NW, 12th Floor, NW, Washington, DC 20005 or fax to
202.371.0424. The proposal must be received at Americans for the Arts no later than October
15, 1997. Call Helena Belanger, Project Coordinator, at 202.371.2830 if you have any questions.
Residency Proiects for Foreign Artists in the U.S.
a. Please provide:
• Organization Contact • Title
• Organization • Address
• Phone • Fax
• Email
b. What are your preferred residency dates?
c. Please indicate artistic discipline(s) and country(ies) of artist(s) you wish to host.
d. Proposed project description. What is the nature of residency activities? Who are the
intended participants/beneficiaries of the residency? What outreach/educational activities
do you plan?
e. How would your LAA, other arts organizations, and your community benefit from a residency
of an artist from abroad?
f. What are your staff resources for this residency? What are your plans for helping the artist
make contacts in his or her artistic field in the community?
g. What facilities can you provide to accommodate the visiting artist(s)? Please be specific about
the size and condition of any of the following that are relevant: studio space, sprung -wood
floors, barrel, mirrors, pianos, recording equipment, kilns, presses, media editing equipment,
cameras, dark room etc. Indicate if the artist(s) will have unlimited access to these facilities or
to what degree these facilities will be shared with other artists.
h. What living accommodations will you provide (e.g., in -studio apartment, separate off -site
apartment, hotel, private room in a shared house, etc.)? What are the arrangements for
meals (e.g., kitchen, meals prepared etc.)?
These activities might include: educational field trips to sites of interest, social gatherings, professional
introductions to others in their field, and being generally available to lend a helping hand throughout the
residency period. In summary, it will be up to the host LAA, working with local artists and organizations
interested in international exchange, to welcome the visiting artist to community. Local International
Visitors Councils are a good source of information and support as well. While hosting someone from
abroad is a responsibility, arts organizations that have had this type of experience report it pays personal
and professional dividends many times over.
In reviewing applications for residency projects, the review panel will consider:
• The artistic excellence and artistic merit of the proposed project;
• The extent to which the residency is consistent with the LAA's and other local host organizations'
artistic mission and ongoing programs;
• The quality of the proposed educational or outreach activities; and
• The ability to provide access to appropriate facilities, workspace, equipment and artistic resources for
the selected visiting artist(s).
The Community Residency Exchange Program will provide funding from abroad for the artists who
participate in the residencies. The Program will cover international transportation, an artist fee, and a
stipend to cover food and miscellaneous expenses. The local arts agency, alone or in conjunction with arts
organizations in the community, will provide the artist with housing, materials, local transportation, and
support for an exciting residency experience.
Residency Proiects for U.S. Artists Abroad
Four U.S. artists will travel to Ireland/Northem Ireland for four weeks residencies. In addition to
residencies in the U.S., the Project Coordinator will work closely with local arts agencies nationwide to
nominate artists of recognized artistic excellence and experience working in community -based arts
education programs to participate in the program. Local arts agencies will apply on behalf of an artist in
their locality with the expertise to work in any of the projects developed abroad The nomination process
will begin in the fall and an agency is eligible to nominate an artist even if it is not submitting a
residency proposal. We will provide you with additional information on this aspect of the program in the
November mailing.
In the meantime, if you are interested in submitting a proposal to host a residency project in your
community your proposal must be received by Americans for the Arts no later than October 15,1997.
Remember, you need not apply to host a residency in order to recommend an artist from your community
to travel abroad. If you have any questions, please call Helena Belanger, Project Coordinator, at
202.371.2830.

Re: Senate to vote on NEA legislation in early September
August 25, 1997
Background
Congress began its one month recess on August 1 st and will return to Washington during the first
week of September. Just before the Senate recessed for the month, two key Senate committees acted
quickly to restore House cuts to NEA funding for FY 98 and to approve a 5-year reauthorization bill.
However, neither the Interior Appropriations bill (H.R. 2107) nor the NEA Reauthorization bill
(S.1020) made it to the Senate floor before the break. Senate votes and possible controversial
amendments are expected to be offered on the Senate floor beginning the second week of September.
Because the Senate votes will represent the NEA's high water marks, it is important that the most
favorable bills are passed on the Senate floor so that Senate conferees can go into the House -Senate
conference negotiation very strong later in September.

One East 53rd Street Re -Cap of Actions Taken by Key Senate Committees
New York NY 10022
T 212 223 2787 July 15th, Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee Chairman Jim Jeffords (R-VT) and
F 212 980 4857 Ranking Democratic Committee Member Edward Kennedy (D-MA) introduced a bipartisan, five-
www.artsusa.org year NEA reauthorization bill S. 1020 through their committee, which the full committee later
approved with a few restructuring amendments by a vote of 14-to-4. July 18th, Senate
Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations also moved quickly to mark-up the House version of the
FY 98 funding bill and restore $100 million back to the NEA's budget. The following week, the
funding bill was approved unanimously by the full Committee on Appropriations. Please note that
the full subgranting authority to all local arts a¢.Ps is maintained in the Senate App=riations
bill while the reauthorization bill currently provides a more limited authority.

S. 1020 NEA Reauthorization bill: Key Restructuring Components remaining from original bill &
Committee Amendments (in bold, italics)
l . Five-year reauthorization for the NEA and NEH.
2. Funding level cap of $105 million on the NEA and $175 million on the NEH for FY 98 only, and such sums
as necessary in the following years.
3. Merger of key administrative functions of the NEA and NEH.
4. Allocation of all NEA funds above $99.5 million to go for specific arts education programs.
5. Reduction on the administrative overhead of NEA to 12% by FY 99.
6. Establishment of a procedure for recapture of funds for commercially successful grants.
7. Maintenance of strict prohibition for funding of obscene projects.
8. Prohibition on funding of seasonal support and subgranting of federal funds except by state, regional and those
local arts agencies that are units of local government.
9. Establishment & maintenance of four grant categories with funds allocated by the following formulas:
A. 40% for Grants of National Significance
B. 40% for State Partnership Grants (currently states are block -granted 35%)
Co 10% for Direct Grants (i.e.- literature fellowships, folk and jazz honorific grants)
D. 10% for Arts Education and Underserved Community Grants
10. Minimum basic state grant allocation changed within the partnership categoryfrom $200,000 to the greater
of $200,000 or 1 % of total state partnership grants.
11. Priority to be given to arts education — in addition to underserved communities applications — in all fpff
grant categories. (Arts education programming to encompass lifelong learning.)
12. Limit on representatives serving on advisory panels to 10% from any one state.
Each of the amendments introduced during the reauthorization bill mark-up passed, except for one amendment that
was introduced by Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) to increase the state block grant formula from 40% to 60%. The
Judd amendment yielded significant discussion during the hearing, but it was eventually defeated by a tie vote of
9-to-9. While this amendment failed by the narrowest of margins in committee, similar amendments to increase
state block grants are likely to yield heated debate when the Interior Appropriations bill and/or Reauthorization bill
is considered on the Senate floor in September.

August 26, 1997
What to Expect in September
Both the Senate Appropriations Committee and Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee agreed to work
together on a joint task force to strategize on various ways to advance the reauthorization bill into conference with
the House. Possibilities range from attaching the entire reauthorization bill to the appropriations bill or just
folding in some of the key restructuring components of the reauthorization bill into the funding bill. Both these
bills will be taken up on the Senate floor during the second week of September. After the Senate passes its version
of the Interior Appropriations bill, the two versions of the bill will be reconciled in conference between
representatives of the House and Senate during the month of September. Funding for the NEA has already been
identified as one of the few controversial funding items left to be resolved by Congress. We are pleased to report
that the White House continues to place solid pressure on Congress, warning of the President's intent to fight and
even veto the entire Interior Appropriations bill in order to maintain funding for the NEA.
We expect several drastic NEA restructuring amendments to be offered on the Senate floor when these two bills
are being considered during the second week of September and during joint conference negotiations, including:
• an attempt to drastically increase the block grant formulas to the states
• an attempt to formally merge the NEA and NEH
• an attempt to redistribute NEA funds to an extremely narrow definition of "arts education" for K-12, school -
based arts instruction programs.
• an attempt to make further content restrictions on NEA grants
Grassroots Action to Take
Americans for the Arts and several other national arts and humanities organizations who actively participate
in the Cultural Advocacy Group have crafted a joint grassroots message to Congress. These national cultural
organizations have provided their grassroots members with a similar message customized to their groups. We
encourage you to make these points in your letters & calls to the Senate by September 8th:
• Oppose increasing the block -grant formula to the states. We need to maintain a strong federal role — arts
and humanities support from a combination of state, local, federal, and private sectors is an American
partnership that works — don't destroy it.
• Support the Jeffords/Kennedy bill (S. 1020) to reauthorize the NEA and NEH for five years.
• Support an appropriations of $136 million each for NEA and NEH in FY 98. (President's budget request)
• Maintain a broad and flexible approach towards arts education that allows the NEA to continue funding
arts organizations as critical resources for lifelong learning. (Provide examples of your after -school and
summer arts education programs in the community; examples of your lifelong learning arts programs with
adults, senior citizens and pre-schoolers; as well as your artist residency programs in the schools.)
• Support bringing the arts and humanities to every American child and family through di= national, state
and local programs of the NEA and NEH. (We also support the NEA 's important subgranting
partnerships through regional, state and local arts agencies.)
• Support an equitable balance of grant distribution within the various categories at both the NEA and NEH.
The division of federal funds among national, state, and local programs varies between the two
endowments, but in each case represents a carefully drawn balance addressing the particular needs of
each. (In the NEA 's case, we endorse the equitable distribution of federal funds outlined in the
Jeffords/Kennedy bill: 40% to the States; 40% to National Significance; 10% to Direct Grants; and 10%
to Arts Education and Underserved Communities.)

HOUSE SETS NEA FUNDING AT ZERO
Between July 10-15, the House of Representatives took a series of votes
on the Interior Appropriations bill concerning the cultural agencies. Due to
the outcome of the vote on the Rule, an up -or -down vote on NEA funding
was not permitted. A list of House members' votes follows these vote
descriptions.
