Council Member Sniff continued to feel that the number of loca ions should be
limited until they see how the program works.
Council Member Henderson agreed, but was not sure if there isl a consensus .to
have the City Attorney look at the contract again.
Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the current contra t was approved
over a year ago.
Council Member Henderson believed the artists want the -Ci y to pay for the
transportation, installation, and insurance costs, and she did not feel that the
City is ready to do that.
Ms. Honeywell felt it is basically a funding issue. The progr m was designed
to provide a free forum for artists to display their artwork, without the City
incurring any costs and if the artists are not willing to incur hese costs, then
Council needs to decide if this should become a funded prog am'.
Mayor Pena felt perhaps it should go back to the commission for further review.
Council Member Adolph suggested looking at Palm Desert'sj contract.
Council Member Sniff suggested looking at some limited fnding to help the
artists.
Council concurred on limiting the number of placement locations.
Council Member Sniff was concerned that the brochure would become dated
almost immediately, bringing in to question how many to print and how often
to change it. He suggested doing something on film as a alternative.

Summary Report
La Quinta Arts Conference
November 4, 2000
A primary opinion and consideration promoted by most all of the program participants
and members of the audience was that the Desert Valley must regard, promote, and
engage artists and the arts as tools for linking communities. These communities were
broadly defined by cultural identity, generational identify, physical location, financial
resource, and or professional activity. To create the linkages between commu iffies
various partnering considerations were presented. All agreed that these partn rships
within the Valley communities should be established and facilitated by artists and the
arts.
Key points presented by Program participants included:
The arts promote community building and community development by
reaching across cultures;
• touching community lives;
• facilitating human connections;
illuminating community heritage and identity ; and,
promoting understanding of others and encouraging respect.
The arts promote learning and engage education by
improving the way we learn;
creating an atmosphere of "wide awakeness" and engagement;
• being representative of unlimited potential;
• revitalizing and energizing schools and learning;
exposing children to broad and diverse cultures;
providing participatory education in team working (i.e. theater / music);
advocating creative questioning, analysis and problem -solving; and
being receptive to experience followed by reflection on that experience.
component to the success of a business community by
creating Livable Communities in which business can thrive;
• promote patronizing businesses that support the arts;
providing financial investment and personal participatory support;
promoting "aesthetic value added" with artists engaging new building project ; and,
• infusing the built environment with projects of quality in which their com uniti
can take pride.

Symposium participants, both panelists and audience members, promoted a n
initiatives that should be undertaken to further the development of the arts as

fundamental component of the Valley communities. These include:
Undertake outreach programs
That shows how the arts touch community lives;
• That expose and explore the wealth of community diversity in the Valley;
That engage and recognizes artists as fundamental producing members of
our cities;
That recognizes individual artists as small businesses generatin local
economy; and how community and economic development are enhanced
by the arts
Create a Desert Cities artist resource agency or structure :
That can serve as a linking system and regional clearing house of information for artists,
arts organizations, arts commissions;
That can link artists to community groups seeking artistic project input or part cipation;
That can serve as a fund -sharing source or link to funding possibilities.
This facility could be a non-profit organization, a joint effort of the current De ert Arts
Commissions and Councils, a public/private association perhaps linked with a regional
business development council. The organization (through whichever form it takes) might
provide a quarterly publication listing arts events and opportunities, funding resources,
grant application assistance, workshops, etc. This organization could be web -based.
Create an alliance with the County School District to:
Promote the arts and creative endeavors within the classroom setting;
Place visiting artists in the classroom as professionals with the intention of instilling in
students the understanding that the arts are a vital and viable profession;
• Create artworks in the school and neighborhood setting made by visiting ists and
students (it was noted that it is not enough to have artists teach teachers how to teach
art);
Develop mentoring programs in which, artists work with at -risk youth progr s;
Create long-term artist residency programs to develop arts projects that have meaning to
the communities at -large, that explore multi -disciplinary participations, that
encourage aesthetic risk taking, and that require collaborative efforts toe act.
Generate Arts funding.
Increase current requirements on private development;
Establish Percent For the Arts programs in conjunction with all City and County Capital
Improvement Projects;
• Dedicate a portion of Hotel and Motel Taxes to the arts;
• If charged, relieve all non-profit arts organizations from collecting admiss ons taxes.
