Review and Allocate Community Grant Funds in the Civic Arts Category for Fiscal <br /> Year 2022/23 <br /> Chairperson Song opened the meeting for agency presentations. <br /> Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council — "Arts Gathering and Project Support" and "Conversation <br /> Banners for Youth Engagement" - Les Duman and Kelly Cousins <br /> Mr. Duman from the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council (PCAC) thanked the commission for the <br /> grant they were awarded last year for a mural painting. The placement of the mural will be <br /> outdoors, and the location is yet to be determined. PCAC will need a frame to display the mural, <br /> and the piece will need to go through the commission's PASS Committee and city processes for <br /> approval. PCAC is working with metal fabricators for the framing of the piece. Mr. Duman <br /> informed the commission that the frame will be aesthetically pleasing and made of a corrosive- <br /> resistant aluminum. <br /> Mr. Duman advised that the grants PCAC is requesting for FY 2022/23 will be used for two <br /> projects. The first being an "Arts Gathering and Project Support" program featuring one or two <br /> free events for the community with art presentations and community engagement. Their second <br /> project "Conversation Banners for Youth Engagement" will offer an outdoor youth art exhibition <br /> that will give an opportunity for youth groups in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley to engage and <br /> offer a positive expression in a creative process. <br /> Commissioner Farley-Rodgers questioned if local students would be involved in the banner <br /> project and Chairperson Song asked what would happen to this project if funding was not <br /> awarded. Mr. Duman advised that local students would be involved and PCAC would try to <br /> obtain funding elsewhere or would need to delve into some of the funds currently available to <br /> PCAC. <br /> Civic Arts Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> March 7,2022 <br /> Page I <br />
